Preparation: The Key to a Perfect Transfer

Proper preparation is essential for securing strong adhesion and preventing lifting, cracking, or bubbling. Before applying your DTF transfer, always preheat your garment to eliminate moisture and ensure a smooth pressing surface.


How to Apply DTF Transfers: A Step-by-Step Guide

1️⃣ Align & Position the Transfer

✔ Lay your DTF transfer sheet onto the fabric, ensuring proper alignment for a professional finish.
✔ A precise positioning technique will enhance the final design’s accuracy and appearance.

2️⃣ Apply Heat & Pressure

✔ Set your heat press machine to 320°F (160°C) and apply medium pressure.
✔ Press for 15 seconds to allow the ink and adhesive to bond effectively with the fabric.
✔ This optimal time and temperature setting ensure vibrant colors and long-term durability.

3️⃣ Cool Down & Peel

✔ Let the transfer cool for at least 30 seconds before peeling the film.
✔ Cooling is essential to lock in the adhesion, making the removal process smooth and effortless.
✔ Carefully peel away the film to reveal your bold, professional-grade print.


Maximizing Durability: The Final Seal

To extend the lifespan of your DTF transfer, follow these extra finishing steps:
✔ Place a Teflon sheet or a protective cover over the print.
✔ Press for an additional 5-10 seconds to reinforce adhesion and enhance durability.
✔ This final step creates a smoother texture and ensures the print withstands frequent washes and daily wear.
