How to Use DTF Transfers

DTF Transfer Pressing Instructions

1. Set Your Heat Press

Temperature: 300°F (275°F for 100% polyester)

Pressure: High pressure (9+ PR if using a Hotronix heat press)

⚠️ Proper pressure is important. Too little pressure can cause poor adhesion.

2. Position the Transfer

Place the transfer design side up on the garment.
Cover the transfer with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper.

3. First Press

Press for 10-12 seconds.

4. Peel the Film

Peel the film while warm using a confident, quick, and smooth motion.

Do not peel slowly — this can cause the design to lift.

If using a home or non-commercial heat press, you may need to wait about 15 seconds before peeling.

5. Final Press

After peeling, cover the design again with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper and press for 5 seconds.

This step locks in the print and improves durability.

✅ Your garment is now ready to wear and wash!
