Heat Press Instructions

Follow these guidelines to ensure proper transfer of your DTF, sublimation, or other heat-pressed designs. Using the correct temperature, time, and pressure is essential to achieve vibrant, durable results on different materials.

General Guidelines:

Always pre-press your fabric for 5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
Use medium to firm pressure unless otherwise specified.
Peel type (hot, warm, or cold) depends on the type of transfer film – please follow your transfer film instructions.
Use a Teflon or parchment paper on top of your transfer if needed.
