How to press your DTF (Direct to Film) transfer so it looks great and lasts wash after wash.
Use a heat press. An iron or EasyPress won't give enough even pressure for DTF to bond properly.
Quick settings
1Pre-press your item for 5 to 10 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
2Press at 285°F (140°C) for 16 seconds with medium pressure (3 to 5 bar if your press shows it).
3Let it cool completely, then peel the film off slowly.
4Second press: cover with a Teflon sheet and press for 5 seconds.
What can I press it on?
DTF works on lots of materials:
Trying something new? Do a test press first.
Washing and care
Edges lifting?
No worries, it's totally OK to re-press your transfer.
Press it again and let it cool completely. Then press with the Teflon sheet on top for 5 seconds.
Every heat press varies a little. These settings are a starting point, so a quick test press is always a good idea.
