DTF :: How To

How To Press DTF & GLITTER DTF Transfers

  • Using a heat press is recommended.
  • For most items use the following settings :: Preheat the press to 320F and set for high pressure*
  • (Optional) prepress your item for approx 5 seconds
  • Set transfer on item (you should be able to see your image right side up) and cover with Teflon or Parchment paper and press for approx 15 seconds
  • Set aside and let fully cool for Glitter or hot/warm/cold for regular DTF then repress for 5 seconds using Teflon or Parchment paper (We use a t-shirt for this step)
  • FOR GLITTER: if you notice some of the glitter flecks on your garment outside the print area carefully use a lint roller and remove them after pressing the second time

 Tips

  • Do not wash garment for approx 48 hours after applying transfer
  • Do not use fabric softener
  • Wash inside out
