- DTF Transfer

- Garment for Application

- Thermal Heat Tape (Optional)

Follow these 4 easy steps to press like a master every time.

  • 1. No Need to Pre-Press or Pre-Iron

    When using our premium DTF Master Transfers™ and 3D UV Master Stickers™ it is not necessary pre-press your garment in an attempt to remove moisture and wrinkles, but by all means, do so if you prefer. It is a matter of preference.

  • 2. Position Your Design

    Position your transfer in the desired location and make sure it is flat before pressing. Heat-resistant tape is recommended when pressing on hats to prevent the transfer from moving. You'll learn when it's needed with experience.

  • 3. Press & Peel After a Few Seconds

    Press the transfer at 310°F / 155°C with medium to high pressure for ~12 seconds.  

    Wait a few seconds and peel!  If parts of the design are not sticking, lay it back down and press again with added pressure and heat (+15°F). 

  • 4. Final Press

    Our experts have found that a final press is imperative to create a superior product.  After the design is transferred onto the garment, with the film peeled off, cover with parchment paper and press for 15 seconds. This greatly improves the durability and softness as well as reducing the shine. 

FOR BEST RESULTS...

For superior results and resilience, launder the clothing inside out in cold water and dry on low heat or air dry. Laundering with standard settings is okay, but it enhances longevity with gentler settings.
