DTF And UVDTF Transfers Pressing Instructions

DTF Transfer Pressing Instructions

Important Note:
You must use a heat press with adjustable pressure.

The following machines will not provide the required pressure and will lead to poor adhesion:

• Auto-Presses (ex: HTVRONT Auto Heat Press)
• Handheld presses (ex: Cricut Easy Press)
• Household irons

✅ Using a commercial heat press is recommended for the best quality finished product.

Pressure: Heavy pressure (approximately 60 lbs)
Polyester: 270°F/6 seconds
Tri-Blend: 270°F/6 seconds
50/50 Cotton/Poly Blend: 275°F/8 seconds
100% Cotton: 300°F/8 seconds

Second Press

After peeling the film, press again for 5 seconds using your preferred finishing sheet - some examples include parchment paper, teflon sheet, kraft paper, a white cotton tee, or a textured sheet.

Troubleshooting Tip

If edges lift, your pressure is too low. Increase your pressure setting and repress.

UVDTF Transfer Pressing Instructions

1. Peel clear transfer sheet with image away from backing.
2. Apply transfer to hard surface.  
3. Press transfer down with your fingers or squeegee to ensure it's adhered in all areas.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. Peel clear transfer sheet off slowly.

Troubleshooting Tip

If any parts of the design aren't sticking, re-apply pressure and repeat steps above.
