PLACE – Position your DTF transfer on the garment with the design side DOWN (colored side touching fabric).
PRESS – Heat press at 320°F (160°C) for 15 seconds with firm, even pressure.
PEEL – Let cool for 10-15 seconds, then peel the clear film off slowly while still warm.
FINAL PRESS – Cover design with parchment paper and press for 5-10 seconds to lock in durability.

💡 Pro Tip: The transfer should feel slightly tacky when you peel the film - this means perfect application!
