DTF Heat Press Instructions

Follow these steps for a clean, durable DTF transfer application. Heat press settings may vary slightly depending on the garment, transfer film, and fabric type.

Recommended Settings

• Temperature: 300–320°F

• Press Time: 10–15 seconds

• Pressure: Medium to firm

• Peel: Hot, warm, or cold peel depending on the transfer instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Garment

Place the garment flat on the heat press. Pre-press for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.

2. Position the Transfer

Place the DTF transfer with the printed side facing the fabric. Make sure the design is straight and properly positioned.

3. Press the Transfer

Press at 300–320°F for 10–15 seconds using medium to firm pressure.

4. Peel the Film

Allow the transfer to cool or peel immediately based on the specific transfer type. Remove the film slowly and evenly.

5. Final Press

Cover the design with parchment paper, butcher paper, or a finishing sheet and press again for 5–10 seconds. This helps improve durability and finish.

Washing Instructions

• Wait at least 24 hours before washing

• Wash inside out with cold or warm water

• Use mild detergent

• Avoid bleach and fabric softener

• Tumble dry on low or hang dry

• Do not iron directly on the design

Important Note

Every heat press can perform differently. We recommend testing your settings before pressing a full order.
