Pressing Instructions for DTF Transfers

Pressing Instructions for DTF Transfers

Updated for our latest transfer film – cold peel only for the best results!

🔥 Press Like a Pro – Cold Peel Required

Our upgraded DTF film is designed specifically for cold peel application, ensuring vibrant, long-lasting results with the right technique. Let your design cool completely before peeling for a flawless finish every time.

⚠️ Important Note:

All heat presses behave a bit differently. Temperatures and pressure can vary between machines, even if the settings say the same thing. For best results:

  • Use a heat gun to verify your press temperature

  • Ensure you’re using true heavy pressure (don’t rely on just the dial)

We are not responsible for issues caused by incorrect heat or pressure settings.
