Application Instructions

Once you receive your DTF Prints, you will need to have access to a heat press or iron capable of 130°C (266°F).

Applying the print

Pre-checks

  1. Please make sure you have cut out the design you want to transfer onto your garment. Any ink that is on the film will be transferred to your garment so make sure you've cut everything out that you don't want before proceeding.
  2. Place the garment either flat on your heat press or a workable surface ensuring there are no creases.

Using a Heat Press

  1. Pre-heat the press to 130°C - 140 °C (266 °F - 284°F)
  2. Cotton Only: Pre-press the garment for 2 seconds to help remove moisture
  3. Place the design on the garment in the exact position that you wish to transfer the design onto. You cannot adjust this once the first press is made so please double check before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Press design into garment for 10 seconds
  5. Peel the film and discard
  6. Re-press for 5 seconds using parchment paper on top of the design.
    Note: This step is important to further increase glue depth and print durability.

Using an Iron

  1. Pre-heat the iron to two-dot setting ( • • ), or 130°C - 140 °C (266 °F - 284°F) equivalent.
    Note: Irons vary on their temperature ranges, please check your model before proceeding.
  2. Cottons: Iron the area that you intend to transfer the design to for a 3-4 seconds to help remove excessive moisture
  3. Place the design on the area you wish to transfer to, facing upwards.
  4. Iron into garment for 12-15 seconds
  5. Wait 10-15 seconds for film to cool (in case of overheating) and then peel the film and discard
  6. Place parchment paper on top of the design and Iron for a further 5 seconds.
    Note: This step is important to further increase glue depth and print durability.
