How to Apply DTF Transfers

Follow these steps to get a clean, long-lasting transfer every time. Always check fabric compatibility before pressing, and follow any instructions supplied with your transfers.

Regular DTF transfers (fabric)

Preheat your heat press. Recommended setting: 320°F for 15 seconds.
Pre-press the garment for a few seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
Place the transfer face down on the garment where you want the design.
First press with a heat press sheet: 300–350°F for 12–15 seconds, medium pressure.
Let the transfer cool completely, then peel the film (cold peel).
Final press with the heat press sheet: 300–350°F for 8–12 seconds.

Glitter and Glow in the Dark DTF (fabric)

Temperature: 285–310°F
Time: 15 seconds
Pressure: medium
Peel: cold peel

UV DTF transfers (hard surfaces)

UV DTF is peel-and-stick. No heat press is needed. It bonds to glass, metal, plastic, wood and ceramic.

Clean the surface with alcohol to remove oils and fingerprints.
Cut your design out of the sheet.
Peel off the backing film.
Place the design on the item and rub it firmly with your fingers or a squeegee.
Slowly peel off the clear top film. The design stays on the item.

Garment care

Wait 24 hours before washing.
Wash inside out in cold water.
Tumble dry on low.
Do not iron directly over the print.
