Press and Wash Instructions for DTF Transfers
-
Pressing Instructions
- Pre-press your garment for 10 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
- Position the transfer on the garment with the film side up.
- Apply heat press at 284°F using medium to firm pressure (40–80 psi) for 5-10 seconds
- Peel the film: You can hot peel immediately with a smooth, steady motion, or cold peel after the film has cooled completely - both methods work.
- Final press: Cover with greaseproof paper or a Teflon sheet and press again for 12 seconds to finish.
- Optional: If any glue residue remains, perform an additional quick press using greaseproof paper to lift excess adhesive.
💡 Tip: For convenience and consistency, consider permanently attaching a Teflon sheet to your upper press platen.⚠️ Before production, we strongly recommend testing on a spare item to confirm compatibility with your equipment and fabric.

Washing Instructions
- Turn garments inside out before washing to protect the print.
- Wait at least 24 hours after pressing before the first wash.
- Machine wash cold or cool only — warm or hot water can damage the transfer.
- Do NOT use bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals.
- Do NOT tumble dry — we recommend hang drying or using a cold air tumble setting.
- Do NOT dry clean.
- Do NOT iron directly on the print or expose it to high heat.
🧼 Following these guidelines helps maximize the durability and vibrancy of your DTF transfers.
