Direct To Film (DTF) Transfer Guidelines

DTF is a versatile printing process that allows designs to be printed directly onto a film. These transfers can adhere to almost any substrate or material, making them suitable for items of various colors.

Important Pressing Instructions:

  • Heat Press Settings: All heat presses behave differently. To achieve optimal results, adjustments may be necessary based on your specific equipment. We strongly recommend the use of a heat gun to verify temperature accuracy.
  • Pressure Settings:
    • High Pressure: Manual presses should be set to 8-9; automatic presses should achieve 60 PSI.

Temperature and Time for Different Materials:

  • Cold Peel Required
  • Poly Blend:
    • Temperature: 275°F
    • Duration: 10 seconds
  • Tri Blend:
    • Temperature: 275°F
    • Duration: 10 seconds
  • 50/50 Cotton Blend:
    • Temperature: 300°F
    • Duration: 12 seconds
  • 100% Cotton:
    • Temperature: 325°F
    • Duration: 15 seconds

Additional Recommendations:

  • Double Press: For best results, use parchment paper and perform a double press.
  • Heat Gun: Verify temperature with a heat gun and conduct a pressure test before starting the pressing process.

Post-Press Care:

  • Curing Time: Do not wash items for at least 48 hours to ensure proper adherence of the transfer.
  • Set Time: Allow the shirt/item to completely set.

Disclaimers:

  • Responsibility for Errors: We are not responsible for any pressing issues that arise due to inaccurate temperature or pressure settings. This includes the use of non-commercial grade presses or irons.
  • Transfer Damage: We are also not liable for damaged transfers after pressing. Please ensure you understand your heat settings, pressure application, and peeling techniques.
  • Color Variations: Due to differences in monitors and browser settings, colors may vary. Computer monitors are not calibrated alike, leading to potential discrepancies in color reproduction.
