DTF Heat Press Settings

For best results with our 36-inch DTF transfers, follow the exact settings below:

✅ First Press (Main Application)

  • Temperature: 300°F – 310°F

  • Time: 10–12 seconds

  • Pressure: Medium to Firm

  • Peel: HOT PEEL immediately right after lifting the press — do not let it cool

✅ Second Press (Required Finishing Press)

  • Place parchment paper, butcher paper, or Teflon sheet over the design

  • Temperature: 300°F – 305°F

  • Time: 5–7 seconds

  • Pressure: Medium


Important Pressing Tips

  • Pre-press the garment for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and smooth the surface.

  • If peeling is not clean — increase pressure first, not heat.

  • Our transfers work on cotton, polyester, blends, fleece, hoodies, and more.

  • For budget-level heat presses (Amazon, non-US brands), set heat to 310°F – 315°F — many run lower than displayed.

  • Second press is mandatory for long-term wash resistance and professional finish.
