DTF Pressing Instructions
To get the best results with your dtfsatransfers.com prints, follow these steps. Please note that every heat press is different; we recommend testing with a scrap piece before starting your full project.
Application Steps
1
Prep
Preheat your garment for a few seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
2
Align & Press
Position your transfer and press at 300°F for 10–15 seconds using firm pressure.
3
Instant Peel
This is an instant peel film. Remove the clear carrier sheet immediately after pressing while it is still hot.
4
The Finish
Cover the design with parchment paper and press again for 5–10 seconds. This cures the ink into the fabric for maximum durability.
Care & Troubleshooting
- Wait to Wash: Allow the garment to sit for 24 hours before washing or stretching.
- Lifting? If the design tries to lift during the peel, stop and re-press for 2–5 seconds.
- Adjustments: If issues persist, try increasing your heat by 10°F or adding 2–3 seconds to your timer. DTF is forgiving, so don't be afraid to tweak the settings to fit your specific press.
