Heat press settings for success

To ensure your DTF transfer adheres properly and looks its best, it's crucial to use the correct heat press settings. Here’s a general guideline to get you started:

  • Temperature: 320°F (160°C)
  • Pressure: Medium to Firm
  • Time: 15 seconds

Important Notes:

  • Always pre-press your garment for a few seconds to remove any wrinkles and moisture.
  • Position transfer on your garment as desired. Transfer tape can also be used if needed to hold your transfer in place.
  • Cover transfer with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper. 
  • After pressing, allow the transfer to cool completely before peeling off the backing film.
  • Cover design and press again for another 5-10 seconds to lock in the design and improve durability.

Enjoy your custom creations!

With the right heat press settings and a little practice, you'll be creating stunning custom garments in no time! Enjoy the process and the satisfaction of wearing your unique designs.
