DTF APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS *Due to difference in heat press brands, you may need to alter these instructions to best fit your individual press. We suggest ordering a few extra samples to  TIME: 15 SECONDS TEMP: 325˚F OUR DTF TRANSFERS ARE HOT PEEL!  Step 1: Adjust Settings & Prepare your Garment Set your time and temperature to our recommended settings: Temperature: 325˚F Pressure: Heavy Pressure Pre-press your garment for 5-10 seconds at 325˚F. Step 2: Load Garment, Place Transfer, and Press! Lay garment down on the lower platen, making sure seams, zippers, etc are off the edge. This ensures even application. Place the transfer print-side down so that the ink is touching the garment - make sure it's not upside down! The clear film is super helpful with making sure you're placing the transfer correctly. Press the transfer for 15 seconds at 325˚F.  Our DTF transfers are HOT PEEL. Immediately after the platen opens up let the transfer cool for 5-10 seconds, hold the garment steady, grab a corner of the paper, and peel diagonally and quickly in a smooth, deliberate motion. We recommend using an old shirt to rub across the garment to cool it down a little faster.  Step 3: Finish it Off! A post-press really helps to seal the transfer to the garment. Now it's time to finish it off! Pro tip: Use a scrap t-shirt for your post press! This will give your print the look and feel of the the t shirt helping to soften the print and provide the best texture possible.  Repress your garment for an additional 5 seconds.
