DTF Application Instructions

🔥 DTF Pressing Instructions – Strictly Transfers

For best results, always apply transfers using a commercial-grade heat press.

✅ Pre-Pressing Setup:

Before your first press of the day, preheat your lower platen by pressing it without a garment for 60 seconds.
This ensures the bottom platen is warm and doesn't pull heat from the upper platen—critical for even, accurate heat application.

🌡️ Recommended Press Settings:

  • Temperature Range: 265°F–300°F

    • Use lower temps for polyester, higher temps for cotton

  • Strictly Transfers Sweet Spot:
    275°F • 7 seconds • heavy pressure

🧊 Peel Method:

  • Hot Peel: Peel immediately, quickly, and confidently

  • Cold Peel (optional): If you're unsure, let the transfer cool completely before peeling

🔁 Final Press:

Place butcher paper or parchment paper over the design
Repress for 7 seconds to lock in durability and finish
