DTF Transfer Application Instructions

For best results, use a professional heat press that provides firm, even pressure across the entire transfer. High pressure is essential for a strong, long-lasting bond.

Application Steps

  1. Set your heat press to the recommended temperature for your fabric.
  2. Position the transfer on the garment and press for 8–10 seconds using high pressure.
  3. Peel the carrier sheet at your preferred temperature — immediately, hot, warm, cool, or cold.
  4. Press again for 5 seconds to finish. A cover sheet is recommended for the final press but is optional.
