Pressing Instructions for Direct-to-Film (DTF) Heat Transfers

How to Heat Press Direct-to-Film (DTF) Cold Peel Heat Transfers

Follow these steps to heat press DTF COLD  peel heat transfers:

1. ALIGNMENT
Take your time to carefully position your artwork within the desired print area.

2. HEAT APPLICATION
Apply your transfer with firm pressure at a temperature range of 320°F - 325°F  (based on our experience, this temperature range produces optimal results) for 15 seconds.

3. COOLING & REMOVAL
Release the pressure and heat source, allowing your transfer to cool for at least 15 seconds. Once it's cool to the touch, gently lift one corner and peel it back with confidence, applying even pressure as you do so.

4. FINAL HEAT PRESS
Enhance the texture, durability, and remove any shine by placing the parchment paper or a teflon sheet over your design. Press again for 12-15 seconds to achieve the desired finish.
