Heat-pressing instructions
- 1
Pre-press the garment
Pre-press the blank for 5–8 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles, then let it cool for a moment.
- 2
Position the transfer
Place the DTF transfer film with the printed (ink) side down on the garment, exactly where you want the design.
- 3
Press
Press at roughly 300–315°F (150–160°C) for 12–15 seconds with medium-firm pressure. (⚠️ confirm exact settings with our team.)
- 4
Cold or hot peel
Let the film cool completely, then peel the carrier sheet slowly (cold peel). Some films allow a hot peel — check the instructions included with your order.
- 5
Final press
Cover with parchment or a Teflon sheet and press again for 8–10 seconds to lock the design and improve durability and wash resistance.
Settings are general guidance — exact temperature and time can vary by film. Contact us if you need confirmed settings for your order.
Care instructions
Wait before first wash
Wait at least 24 hours after pressing before the first wash to let the adhesive fully cure.
Wash inside out, cold
Turn the garment inside out and wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
Dry low or air dry
Tumble dry on low or hang to air dry. High heat over time can shorten the life of the print.
Don't iron the print
Never iron directly on the design. If needed, iron inside out or place a cloth over the print.
