Step 1

Lay your garment flat on a firm surface
  • Use a padded ironing board or flat, heat-safe surface
  • Smooth out all wrinkles or folds with your hand
  • Avoid seams or edges underneath the press area
  • Iron should be on and set to dry mode — no steam

Step 2

Place your DTF transfer on the garment

    Use heat-resistant tape if needed to keep the design from shifting.

Step 3 

Apply firm pressure with a household iron for 15-20 seconds
  • Set iron to Cotton or highest heat (no steam)
  • Press firmly over the design in small sections
  • 15-20 seconds per section depending on fabric type
  • Use higher time/heat for cotton, lower for poly or blends

Step 4

Peel the film from the garment in one steady motion.
  • ecom-no-replace-kGC1SMtww9ic-vacc-1

    You can peel hot, warm, or cold. If part of the design lifts, press again and peel once it's cool.

Step 5

Repress to seal the design and improve finish
  • Place parchment paper or a finishing sheet over the print
  • Press each section again for 10-15 seconds
  • Use firm, even pressure — same heat setting
  • This step helps lock in edges and reduce shine
