🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions for Applying DTF Transfers

1️⃣ Step 1: Prepare Your Design

Choose or create your DTF transfer design and ensure it’s sized correctly for your project.

2️⃣ Step 2: Pre-Heat Your Fabric

Use your heat press, iron, or easy press to preheat the fabric for 5-10 seconds. This step removes moisture and wrinkles for a smooth transfer.

3️⃣ Step 3: Position the Transfer

Place the DTF transfer sheet face down onto your pre-heated fabric. Align and center the design properly.

4️⃣ Step 4: Cover with Protective Sheet

Cover the transfer with Teflon or parchment paper to protect both the transfer and your equipment.

5️⃣ Step 5: Heat Press

• Heat Press: Set to 300°F-325°F (150°C-160°C)
• Press Time: Hold for 15-20 seconds with firm pressure.
• Iron/Easy Press: Apply firm pressure evenly across the design for 30-40 seconds.

6️⃣ Step 6: Cool and Peel

Let the transfer cool slightly before carefully peeling the sheet away. Follow the transfer's specific instructions for hot or cold peel.

7️⃣ Step 7: Optional Additional Press (Recommended)

For enhanced durability, press the design again for 5 seconds with a protective sheet.

8️⃣ Step 8: Finish and Care

Admire your vibrant, professional-quality design! For long-lasting results, wash and care for your fabric according to the transfer's guidelines.

👕 Can You Apply DTF Transfers with an Iron or Easy Press?

Yes! While a heat press machine is highly recommended for consistent pressure and temperature, you can use an iron or easy press as an alternative. Just ensure:

• The iron is set to high heat (no steam).
• You apply firm and even pressure.
• You press for a longer duration (around 30-40 seconds).
