Heat Pressing Instructions
Heat Press Instructions for Applying DTF Transfers
1. Preheat Your Heat Press:
Set the temperature to 310°F to 320°F (155°C to 160°C).
Set the time to 10-15 seconds.
Set the pressure to medium to firm.
2. Prepare the Garment:
Lay the garment flat on the heat press platen.
Pre-press the garment for 3-5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
3. Place the DTF Transfer:
Position the DTF transfer film on the garment with the design side facing down.
4. Apply the Transfer:
Close the heat press and press the transfer for 10-15 seconds with medium to firm pressure.
5. Cool Peel:
Allow the transfer to cool completely before peeling the carrier film. A cool peel ensures the adhesive bonds properly to the fabric.
6. Post-Press (Optional):
For added durability, cover the design with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet.
Heat press again for 5-10 seconds with medium pressure.
Additional Tips:
- Always test on a small area or sample garment if working with new materials.
- Suitable fabrics: cotton, polyester, cotton-poly blends, and other compatible textiles.
- Store DTF transfers in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.
