Pressing Instructions

DTF Film

Use HEAVY PRESSURE! It should be hard to close your press!

Set heat press to the correct temperature. Keep in mind that every press is different. The instructions below are general guidelines and can vary from press to press. 

 300° to 320° for cotton.

 275° to 285° for polyester. 

Pre-press garment for 5 seconds.

Line up your transfer on the garment. Press for 15 seconds.  

The new shiny film is hot peel! With that said, always test one transfer. If it doesn't hot peel for you, cold peel is fine. 

Cover the design with parchment paper, a plain t-shirt, Teflon or copy paper and repress for 7 to 10 seconds.

How to Care for Your Shirts with DTF?

Direct to Film transfers hold up extremely well when pressed and washed properly. 

Do not wash or dry on high heat. Low or Medium heat is fine. 

Do not use Fabric Softener! Using Fabric Softener will cause the transfer to crack. 

 

**Every heat press is different, it's best to check your heat press with a heat gun to ensure you have accurate temperature.
