How to Apply Ready-to-Press DTF Transfers

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply DTF transfers to surfaces like t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, aprons, cushions, and more:

  • Pre-press the fabric for 10-15 seconds to ensure a wrinkle-free surface.
  • Run over your item with a lint roller to ensure your surface is 100% clean. 
  • Position the transfer on the fabric, ensuring it is centered and straight.
  • Place a Teflon sheet over the transfer.
  • Using a heat press with a temperature of 275°F-300°F, apply medium pressure for the recommended duration.
  • Allow the garment to cool completely.
  • Carefully peel off the transfer film. 

While these steps remain consistent across all DTF transfers, ready-to-press processes may vary slightly by item in terms of temperature and pressing time. So, be sure to follow the instructions carefully. 

How to Care for Your DTF Transfer Designs

Ready-to-press DTF transfers are designed to be both impactful and low-maintenance. However, proper care goes a long way to ensure the vibrant colors and high-quality finish retain their brilliance over time. For the best results, follow this list of best practices:

  • Turn garments inside out before washing to protect the transfer from friction.
  • Use mild soaps or detergents rather than harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Handwash where possible. If you use a washing machine, opt for a delicate rather than a high-heat wash cycle.
  • Avoid contact with abrasive materials to prevent damage.
  • Avoid soaking for extended periods.
  • Allow items to air dry instead of using a high-heat dryer.
  • When applying heat (e.g., for ironing), use a pressing cloth between the heat source and transfer.
  • Store items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 

By following these guidelines for DTF transfers, ready-to-press designs will retain their vibrancy for much longer.
