Applying your transfers with a heat press

This is all you need.Implementing your transfers utilizing a heat press has never been easier. The process can be distilled into three precise steps for optimal results.

 

1.Positioning

 Exercise diligence in aligning your artwork within the preferred print area. Proper placement is key to the final aesthetic of your printed garment.


2. Heat Pressing

Hot Peel Technique: Deploy your heat press with moderate pressure at a temperature range of 315°F-325°F / 163°C, a setting that we have determined to provide the most successful outcomes. Apply heat for a duration of 6-7 seconds, followed by immediate peeling. Repeat the heat application for an additional 6 seconds to effectively fuse the paint onto the fabric, enhancing durability and reducing glossiness.

Begin by accurately positioning the transfer at the desired location on the garment. For optimal results, refer to our comprehensive DTF Transfer Size & Positioning Guide. This will assist in averting any potential application inaccuracies

Step 4: Applying the Press
