How to press DTF transfers

These are the settings we tell shops in St. Charles, MO. Test one piece on a new garment before you run the whole order.

1. 1. Set the press

   Heat the platen to 300 to 320°F. Use medium to firm pressure. Preheat the garment for a few seconds if it is damp or wrinkled.

2. 2. Place the transfer

   Lay the film ink side down. Keep it flat. Tape only if the piece is small or you are pressing over a seam.

3. 3. Press and peel

   Press for 10 to 15 seconds. Wait a few seconds, then peel. If a spot lifts, lay the film back down and press again with a bit more heat.

4. 4. Cover and press again

   Cover the print with parchment and press 10 more seconds. That second press softens the hand and helps the ink last in the wash.

If a spot will not stick, add a little heat and press again. If the garment scorches, drop pressure first. Questions go to chat, (844) 831-3837, or info@dtfs.co.
