📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Pre-Press the Garment

Pre-press the shirt for 3-5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. This ensures a smooth, flat surface for the transfer.

2

Position the Transfer

Place the DTF transfer face down (design touching the fabric) in the desired position. The clear film should be facing up.

3

First Press

Press at 325°F for 15 seconds with medium pressure. The adhesive will bond with the fabric fibers.

4

Peel the Film

Wait for it to cool! Peel the film when cold or warm (we'll specify with your order). Peel slowly at a 45° angle for best results.

5

Final Press (Optional)

For extra durability, cover with parchment paper and press again for 5-10 seconds. This sets the print and gives a smoother finish.

💡 Pro Tips

⚠️ Don't Overheat

Too much heat can cause the print to become dull or crack. Stick to 325°F!

🧪 Test First

If unsure, test on a scrap piece of fabric first to dial in your press settings.

📏 Check Placement

Use a ruler or alignment tool to ensure your design is centered and straight.
