DTF Pressing Instructions
Get perfect results every time with these heat press settings!
🎯 Recommended Settings
📋 Step-by-Step Instructions
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.
Position the Transfer
Place the DTF transfer face down (design touching the fabric) in the desired position. The clear film should be facing up.
First Press
Press at 325°F for 15 seconds with medium pressure. The adhesive will bond with the fabric fibers.
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.
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.
