WHAT IS DTF TRANSFER?   

DTF (Direct-To-Film) transfer is an innovative form of heat transfer used in the printing industry.  It is an image or design printed on a special PET film using advanced DTF printing techniques.  The image can be applied to various fabrics or materials using a heat source.   

HOW DO I APPLY?

Heat Press: 

Step 1: Make sure to position your print and line it up carefully in your desired print area.

Step 2: Using medium pressure at 300°F-320°F / 160°C, press your transfer for 12-15 seconds.

Step 3: Remove both pressure and heat, let your transfer rest for at least 15 seconds. Allow to cool completely until it is cool to touch. When cool, lift the transfer and peel, while applying even pressure.

Step 4: Place parchment paper over your design and press for a second time for at least 15 seconds. This will help to improve the durability of the transfer while removing any shine.

Crafting Press

Step 1: Make sure to position your print and line it up carefully in your desired print area.

Household Iron

Step 1:  Make sure to position your print and line it up carefully in your desired print area.

Step 2: Ensure the setting of the iron corresponds with the material you are printing on. Using firm and even pressure and press your transfer for at least 15-20 seconds.

Step 3: Remove the iron and allow the transfer to rest and cool for at least 15 seconds. When completely cool to touch, use even pressure to gently peel the transfer from one corner.

WASHING AND CARE:

Wait at least 24 hours before washing the garment.

Wash inside out in cold water to prolong the life of the transfer.

Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.

Remember that DTF transfers offer excellent color vibrancy, detail, and versatility. They work well on both light and dark fabrics, making them a popular choice for custom apparel and other textile applications.
