How to press DTF transfers

Before you start: pre-press the garment for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.

Fabric Temperature Pressure Peel Second press
100% cotton 310°F (290–320°F) Medium Hot 3–5 seconds
Polyester & poly blends 265°F (250–280°F) Medium Hot 1–3 seconds

How long to press — by transfer size:

Transfer size Time
Small — under 5″ (left chest, sleeve) 3–5 seconds
Medium — 5″ to 10″ 6–8 seconds
Large — over 10″ (full front or back) 8–10 seconds

Polyester is heat-sensitive: always press it under a cover sheet (Teflon or parchment) so the transfer does not scorch.

Peel hot: lift the film right away, in one smooth motion. Then press again for the "second press" time above to lock it in.

Washing: wait 24 hours, wash inside-out in cold water, tumble dry low.
