How to Apply DTF Transfers: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these simple steps to achieve professional results with your DTF transfers.
Prepare Your Garment
Pre-wash your garment to remove any sizing or chemicals. Make sure the fabric is completely dry and wrinkle-free before applying the transfer.
Avoid using fabric softener as it can prevent proper adhesion.
Preheat Your Heat Press
Set your heat press to 300-320°F (150-160°C). Allow it to fully preheat for at least 5 minutes to ensure even heat distribution.
Use a heat gun thermometer to verify the actual temperature of your press.
Position the Transfer
Place your DTF transfer face down on the garment. Make sure it's positioned exactly where you want it, as repositioning after pressing can damage the transfer.
Use heat-resistant tape to secure the transfer in place if needed.
Apply Heat and Pressure
Press firmly for 10-15 seconds with medium to heavy pressure. Make sure the entire transfer receives even heat and pressure.
Cover the transfer with parchment paper to protect both the transfer and your heat press.
Peel the Film
Peel when its still hot, so right after the press. Carefully peel away the film at a 45-degree angle. Peel slowly and steadily.
If the design starts to lift with the film, lay it back down and press for another 5 seconds.
Final Press and Care
Cover the design with parchment paper and press again for 5-10 seconds to ensure maximum adhesion. Wait 24 hours before washing.
Wash inside out in cold water and hang dry for best longevity.
