DTF Printing
DTF Printing
Our transfers are capable of pressing to cotton, silk, polyester, denim and much more. Our transfers work on both white and dark garments. All you need is a heat press and the garment or substrate.
Please upload a high-resolution 300dpi image with transparent background to our online sheet builder. We do not take responsibility for the print quality if images lower than 300dpi are uploaded.
- Please note that DTF doesn't cope well with semi-transparency or extremely thin lines/font below 5px (0.5mm). To ensure a quality print that adheres to your garment, please make sure there is no semi-transparency or lines/text below the threshold.
DO NOT mirror your artwork, we will do this before printing.
Pressing Instructions:
Heat Press is REQUIRED for smooth application and durability. In our experience, home irons, Cricut & HTVront presses do not impart enough even pressure for proper DTF application.
- Preheat garment to remove excess moisture
- Place your artwork directly onto the garment, uncovered (if your heat press runs hot use a teflon sheet over the top of the print)
- Press for 10 seconds
- Warm peel.
- Press a second time for additional 10 seconds at the same temperature, covering with either the film peeled off, teflon sheet or baking paper. Pressing the second time cures the print into the garment.
- Wait 24 hours before washing or stretching.
- Temperature: 130-150 degrees. Start at a lower temp and adjust as necessary. Pressure: Medium-High
