Instrucciones para Aplicar tus Transferencias DTF
INSTRUCCIONES GENERALES PARA APLICAR TUS TRANSFERENCIAS DTF
Asegúrese de que su prenda o superficie esté limpia, seca y libre de arrugas o residuos. Puede preprensar las prendas para asegurar este paso.
Configure la prensa de calor a 300 grados Fahrenheit.
Presione durante 10 segundos ejerciendo presión alta (60 PSI). La presión es uno de los factores más importantes para adherir correctamente sus transferencias a su prenda. Asegúerese de que la presión es adecuada, si no lo es, su transferencia no se va a adherir correctamente. Si su prensa no logra la presión adecuada, puede apoyarse de una almohada de presión.
Deje que la prenda se enfríe completamente. Una vez enfriada, retire cuidadosamente la película de transferencia comenzando por una esquina.
Vuelva a prensar durante otros 10 segundos para sellar su diseño con una hoja de teflón encima como protección. Si desea un resultado mate, haga este paso pero usando una hoja de papel pergamino.
La segunda prensada sella su diseño.

⚠️ Important Notes
- Nylon Fabrics: Apply at 260-265°F (127-129°C) for 6-8 seconds.
- First Wash: Wait at least 24 hours after application before the first wash.
- Do not apply these heat press designs to sublimated jerseys. Prevents dye migration and print issues.
- Challenging Materials: Not recommended on fabrics with coatings (silicone, water-resistant, certain nylon blends) or highly textured/elastic fabrics.
Step-by-Step DTF Pressing Instructions
-
1. Pre-Press Your Garment
Start by placing your blank shirt (or hoodie, or tote—whatever you’re pressing) onto the heat press. Give it a quick 5-second press to remove any moisture or wrinkles. This helps the transfer bond properly.
-
2. Place the Transfer
Cut your design from the gang sheet if needed. Then place the DTF transfer face down on the garment, so the inked side touches the fabric and the clear film is on top.
-
3. Press It
Set your press to the correct temperature and time (see the table above). Use medium to heavy pressure, close the press, and let the magic happen.
-
4. Peel the Film
This step depends on the type of transfer:
- Cold Peel: Let it cool completely. Then peel the film off slowly and steadily.
- Hot Peel: Wait 4–6 seconds after lifting the press, then peel while the transfer is still warm.
-
5. Finish with a Second Press
Want that design locked in and looking extra clean? Cover it with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet and press again for 10 seconds. This helps improve wash durability and gives the finish a polished feel.
-
6. Ready to Wear!
Your custom heat transfer is now complete and ready to show off. For best results and to ensure longevity, wait 24 hours before the first wash.
🔴 Flexible Peel: You can peel hot or cold, if your design has fine details, we recommend letting the sheet cool completely before peeling.
