How to Apply Your DTF Transfers

We keep it simple, fast, and fool-proof. Follow these steps and you’ll get crisp, pro-level prints every time

1. Prep the Garment

  • Make sure your blank is flat, clean, and free of lint.
  • Do a quick 5-second pre-press to knock out moisture and wrinkles.

2. Press It On

  • Temp: 300°F
  • Time: 10 seconds
  • Pressure: Medium to firm
  • Lay the transfer ink-side down and press.

3. Peel Hot (Yep, Right Away!)

  • As soon as the press opens, peel the film immediately while it’s still hot.
  • Smooth, steady motion, no waiting around.

4. Lock It In (Optional but Do It)

  • Place a sheet of craft paper, parchment, or other textured material on top.
  • Press again for 5 seconds for a soft feel and long-lasting finish.

Pro Tip: Every heat press has its own personality, so if it’s your first time, do a quick test press to dial it in. After that, you’ll be unstoppable.
