How do you press your DTF transfers?
  • Pre-press your garment for a few seconds to remove any moisture.
  • Place the transfer on the garment and cover with either a Silicone sheet or a sheet of greaseproof paper.
  • For cotton we recommend pressing at 150 degrees for 12 seconds.
  • For polyester press at 145 degrees for 12 seconds.
  • Wait for a few seconds after pressing, or wipe with a damp cloth, and peel immediately.
  • Re-press for 3 seconds.
What kind of heat press will I need?

We recommend pressing with a commercial heat press for the best results. This can either be a manual heat press or a hydraulic heat press.

We do not recommend pressing with a domestic iron or a press without adequate pressure settings like the Cricut Easy Press.

Are your transfers hot peel?

Our transfers are hot peel (just let the transfers cool for a few seconds after pressing or wipe with a damp cloth before peeling), but also work equally well as cold peel.

Once the transfers have been pressed onto your garment we recommend not washing it for the first 24 hours.

For the best results, wash at 40 degrees or cooler, do not tumble dry and iron on the reverse of the garment to the transfer.
