How to apply a DTF Transfer
Matching the right temperature and time to your fabric type is the most important step. Use the panel to pick a fabric and see the press settings, then follow the steps in order.
Preheat the press
Set your heat press based on the fabric type selected in the panel and let it fully preheat.
Position the transfer
Place the printed film face-up on the fabric. Make sure the fabric is smooth and wrinkle-free for the best adhesion.
Apply heat & pressure
Press with medium to firm pressure for the time listed for your fabric type in the panel.
Instant hot peel
Peel the film immediately while it's still hot, right off the press. No cooling time needed.
Final finish (optional)
For a softer, more embedded feel, press again for 3–5 seconds with a Teflon or parchment sheet. This gives the print a texture closer to DTG.
How to apply Glitter & Glow in the Dark DTF Transfers
Same heat and pressure as a standard transfer — the one thing that changes is the peel. These finishes need a full cold peel to set the glitter and glow pigment correctly.
Preheat the press
Set your heat press based on the fabric type selected in the panel and let it fully preheat.
Position the transfer
Place the transfer on the fabric with the design facing up. Make sure the surface is smooth and wrinkle-free.
Apply heat & pressure
Press with medium to firm pressure for the time listed for your fabric type in the panel.
Cold peel (important)
Allow the transfer to cool completely, then peel slowly. Cold peel only — do not hot peel this transfer type.
Final press (recommended)
Cover with Teflon or parchment paper and press again for 3–5 seconds. This improves durability and gives a smoother finish.
How to apply UV DTF Stickers
No heat required. Five quick steps get you a smooth, bubble-free finish on any flat, hard surface.
Clean the surface
Make sure it's smooth, dry, and free of dust or oil.
Peel the clear backing film
Slowly peel off the transparent backing, leaving the sticker on the transfer film.
Position the sticker
Place the adhesive side onto the surface, checking placement carefully — it's hard to adjust once it's down.
Press firmly
Press firmly with a squeegee or your finger to remove any air bubbles.
Peel the transfer film
Slowly peel off the top transfer film, leaving the sticker applied to the surface.
