DTF Pressing Instructions

HEAT PRESS TEMPERATURES

  • For heat presses $500 and over: 315–320°F

  • For heat presses under $500: 320–350°F

(Each press can vary slightly — always test one first.)

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pre-press your garment for 5 seconds.
This removes moisture and wrinkles.

2. Add your transfer and press for 10-15 seconds
Use firm pressure.

3. HOT PEEL (not cold!)

  • Remove the transfer from the press and wait about 5 seconds before peeling.

  • Peel the film while still warm/hot, in a smooth, steady motion.

  • If a corner starts to lift by itself, use that corner to begin your peel.

  • ⚠️ If you let it cool completely, it will not peel properly. The film may want to stick to the shirt.

4. Add parchment paper or a Teflon sheet and repress for 5 seconds
This gives a smooth, matte finish and ensures durability.
