Application Instructions for DTF Transfers - Just Vinyl and Crafts DTF transfers

Application Instructions for DTF transfers...DTF transfers MUST be applied with a heat press. A home iron will NOT work.

Your heat press should be at medium to firm pressure.  For cotton and 50/50 blends 320-340F depending on your heat press.  Prepress your fabric for 2-3 seconds.  Then press transfer to fabric for 12-15 seconds.  For synthetic or polyester fabrics 275-300F degrees.   Prepress your fabric for 2-3 seconds.  Then press transfer to fabric for 7-10 seconds medium pressure. 

Prior to heat pressing, hover the heat press over the transfer INK SIDE UP as close as possible to the transfer for 30-60 seconds.  This process will remove moisture from the transfer.  The moisture in the ink builds up during the mailing process.  

* Place your transfer down with the image facing you.  

* Prepress your fabric 

* Use medium to firm pressure to press the transfer for the desired time frame

* Remove the garment from the press and let it stand until its warm enough to peel (this is for DTF COLD Peel film)

* Repress (second press) for 5-10 seconds
