How to Heat Press DTF Transfers? (Text Guide)

Please note that heat presses vary in temperature and pressure, so the following are general guidelines. We suggest ordering a few extra designs to practise and find the ideal settings for your specific press.

Step 1: Position and First Press

Place your DTF transfer on the garment. Set the heat press to 155°C and apply medium to high pressure for 10–15 seconds. Cover the design with a Teflon sheet before pressing.

  

Step 2: Peel the Transfer Film

After pressing, wait a few seconds and peel. If parts of the design aren’t sticking, try again with more pressure and an extra 5°C of heat.

If it still doesn’t stick, gradually increase the heat by 5°C until the design adheres properly. The great thing about Pure Pack transfers is that multiple pressing won’t damage the transfer.

Step 3: Second Press for Durability

Cover the design with a Teflon sheet. Press again at 155°C with medium to high pressure for an additional 10 seconds. This step strengthens the bond between the design and the fabric, giving you a durable and professional finish.

By following these simple steps, you can achieve professional quality DTF transfers that stand out and last. With a little practise, you’ll be customising garments like a pro in no time.

Happy pressing!
