24" DTF Fluorescent Transfers

Heat Press Instructions for Applying DTF Transfers

1. Preheat Your Heat Press:

Set the temperature to 310°F to 320°F (155°C to 160°C).

Set the time to 10-15 seconds.

Set the pressure to medium to firm.

2. Prepare the Garment:

Lay the garment flat on the heat press platen.

Pre-press the garment for 3-5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.

3. Place the DTF Transfer:

Position the DTF transfer film on the garment with the design side facing down.

4. Apply the Transfer:

Close the heat press and press the transfer for 10-15 seconds with medium to firm pressure.

5. Cool Peel:

Allow the transfer to cool completely before peeling the carrier film. A cool peel ensures the adhesive bonds properly to the fabric.

6. Post-Press (Optional):

For added durability, cover the design with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet.

Heat press again for 5-10 seconds with medium pressure.

Additional Tips:

• Always test on a small area or sample garment if working with new materials.
