Pressing Instructions

Pressing DTF Transfers – 5 Simple Steps

  1. Skip the Pre-Press (Unless You Want To):
    No need to pre-iron your shirt unless it's super damp or you're feeling extra. Most of the time, you can just get straight to pressing.
  2. Line It Up Right:
    Take your time lining up the design. No tape needed with a flat press, but it helps for hats or tricky spots. Want super clean placement? Grab a DTF alignment ruler.
  3. Press It Like a Pro:
    Use medium pressure at 310°F (155°C) for 15 seconds. A little extra time or pressure won’t hurt the transfer, but don’t overdo it or you might mess up the fabric.
  4. Let It Cool Before You Peel:
    Wait at least 15–30 seconds before peeling. Need to speed it up? Use a fan or air blower. If anything’s off, just check your settings and try again.
  5. Final Press & Wash Tips:
    Cover the design with parchment paper or a shirt, press again for 15 seconds. Want extra durability or less shine? Use a protective guard sheet. Wash inside out, cold water, low heat dry your design will thank you.
