First Press –
-Position the shirt or fabric onto the heat press with nothing on it.
-Make sure any collars, seams, buttons, etc. are off the heat press. If this is not possible, use a heat press pad or pillow to elevate the area you will be pressing up so you get even pressure
-Lint roll the shirt (if needed) to get anything lint or fuzz off the garment where you will be pressing
-Press the shirt for 3-5 seconds to get any wrinkles or humidity out of the shirt.
Second Press –
-Crease the DTF transfer to find the midpoint down the length of the transfer.
-Position the DTF transfer correctly onto the shirt. We recommend using a t-shirt guide or laser system to get proper alignment.
-Make sure the white glue part is down on the shirt and the design is visible from above
-Press the shirt for 10 seconds (8 seconds for polyester or delicate fabrics).
-Remove the top film, starting from the corner and pull across (not up) until the film is completely removed
NOTE-
-The DTF adhesive does not full bond as well with canvas material because it has “looser” open areas which do not imbed as well until cooled
-Fine lines have less glue due to their design and may not fully stick until cooled
-For these situations, we recommend waiting to cold peel, even though this is a instant peel film.
-Once you have removed the film, place the shirt back on the heat press for the final press
Third Press-
-Place a finishing sheet on top of your design. This can be a sheet of teflon, canvas, etc. that protects and helps embed your design and make the design feel better on the shirt.
-Press for 5 more seconds then remove the finishing sheet and t-shirt from your press.
