DTF & UV INSTRUCTIONS
DTF PRESSING INSTRUCTIONS
It’s a good idea to test your transfer first to find the ideal time + temp that works for your press as each heat press is made differently. A commercial grade heat press is recommended for even, firm pressure.
Remove the printed strips on your gang sheet before
pressing.
Apply HEAVY pressure. It should take two hands to close your press shut.
Transfers can be peeled HOT or COOLED down.
TIP: For transfers with fine lines/small details - you can rub over your transfer with a piece of cloth or sock before peeling it back. This will help it adhere to the fabric even more.
INSTANT PEEL TECHNIQUE
Peel your transfer swiftly, with confidence. Do not lift corners slowly if peeling hot. Think of it as ripping off a wax strip when you go to peel. It should peel like butter!
Alternatively, you can wait for the transfer to cool and then peel as you wish.

APPLYING UV DTF
1. Clean the surface using a lint free cloth.
2. Gently peel back the carrier sheet (the bottom layer).
3. Apply the sticky decal to your surface - be aware that once it’s placed it cannot be removed or repositioned.
4. Use your fingers to rub over the transfer really well. You can also use a squeegee. You want to work out any wrinkles or air bubbles out (nails are great for that).
5. Gently peel off the top layer, go slow.
