How to Apply Our DTF Transfers

1

Prep Your Press & Garment

Set your press to 305°F and 60PSI (Medium-High Pressure).

Lay your garment on the press surface, do your best to keep it straight and even with the pallet, avoid the collar of the Shirt/Hoodie being in the press area without a pressing pad.

2

Put Your Decal In Position

Lay out your decal color side up and do your best to center this between the side seems of your Shirt/Hoodie. We recommend you use a large ruler to insure your decal is running straight across your garment.

Full front - 3" from the bottom of your collar to the top of your logo and center between side seems.

Left Chest - 3" from the bottom of your collar to the top of your logo, and 4" From the center of your collar, to the center of your logo (Horizontally).

Full Back - 5"-6" from the bottom of your collar to the top of your logo, and center between your side seems.

Press & Peel

Press your transfer at 305°F @ 60PSI, (Medium - High Pressure) for 12 Seconds. Use your parchment paper or Teflon sheet to prevent the transfer and garment from coming in contact with the press surface.

Once pressed, normally this film will always hot peel just 2 seconds after pressing, however depending on conditions you may see your film start to lift, if so, A: Wait for your film to cool fully then cold peel. or B: Press a second time for 12 seconds, which will not hurt the transfer, and try to peel again.

(When pressing over a seem or hoodie pocket we recommend using a pressing pad inside if the garment to keep even pressure throughout the surface.)

Final Press

To ensure you get the most durability out of your prints, press your transfer a second time after peeling the film at 305°F @ 60PSI Medium - High Pressure. Parchment paper or Teflon will work but we recommend using a post press finishing sheet for DTF Transfers. There is a variety of these that offer a softer feel, enhanced durability, matte finish, etc, whatever suits your need.
