DTF Iron On Transfer Instructions

Using a Heat Press (Recommended)

DTF Press

Please read all instructions before applying

  1. Preheat heat press to 310°F and set to medium pressure
  2. Position your transfer on the garment (You should be able to see your image through the film)
  3. Place a piece of parchment paper over the transfer and garment to protect from direct heat. (Teflon, uncoated paper or a thin layer of fabric is also acceptable)
  4. Press the garment for 15 seconds
  5. Let the transfer cool. The transfer is intended for "Cold Peel" (not warm to the touch before you attempt to peel the film off)
  6. Slowly peel the film from the garment. As you peel the transfer if the image does not come off easily, repeat steps 4 and 5.
  7. IMPORTANT To permanently set the transfer, place paper back on top of the garment (with transfer) and press for 5-10 more seconds. This step is important for the feel and durability of the transfer.
