How to Apply Your DTF Heat Transfer
Applying your DTF Heat Transfer is simple - even for beginners and can be done with both a commercial heat press or an at home iron.
1. Prep your surface: Start by making sure the item you're transferring onto is clean and wrinkle-free. Give the material a quick press to help ensure a smooth application surface
2. Position your design: Place your DTF transfer onto your desired surface with the clear film (masking) side facing up.
3. Apply Heat:
- For cotton T-shirts: Press at approximately 350°F for 15 seconds.
- For sweatshirts: Press at the same temperature for 30 seconds.
- For polyester fabrics: Reduce the temperature to around 290°F and press for 15 seconds.
4. Peel Away: Allow the transfer to cool before peeling the film off in one smooth, even motion.
Optional: for best results after peeling, put a piece of parchment paper over the image and repress for 5 seconds.
