DTF APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
It is VERY important you follow the below instructions to ensure the best finish on your HOT PEEL DTF transfers.
- Place your garment onto your heat press, ensuring it is nice and flat with no seams or buttons on the platen (use a heat press pillow if needed).
- Position your DTF Heat Transfer carefully onto the item, and press for 10 Seconds at 150°C with firm pressure.
- Once the heat press releases, use a cloth to wipe over the heat transfer area to ensure the print is completely stuck (this helps to stop the edges from pulling upwards when removing the film).
- Peel the film in a quick and careful manner as soon as you have wiped over the area (you can also let these transfers cool down further which can make the peeling process even easier if you are not confident to peel it while warm).
- Press the area again for 5-10 seconds at 150° C to ensure the transfer is embedded correctly to ensure long lasting prints!
Important Information
- DO NOT use an iron or domestic Heat Press.
- USE ONLY commercial Heat Presses with firm pressure (do your own research on different types of fabric before pressing).
- Failing to apply or care for these transfers correctly could result in a number of issues including scorched garments, peeling, cracking and a shortened life.
- If you are new to DTF or Hot Peel DTF transfers, please take some time to learn the process and find what works best with the equipment you have (use one of our free sample packs to strengthen your confidence!).
- If you are on-selling your prints or completed garments, make it clear to your customers what to do and what not to do, and also give them the correct washing techniques.
- Visit our care instructions page here for correct washing techniques on garments.
- We DO NOT take responsibility for peeling and/or cracking due to incorrect pressing methods from improper technique or equipment. This includes incorrect care for the garments / items these are pressed onto, resulting in shortened life span.
