Pressing instructions
DTF Pressing Instructions

Equipment: Heat press recommended.

  1. Pre-press garment: 5–10 seconds to remove moisture and flatten fibers.
  2. Set press: 300–320°F (149–160°C). Medium to firm pressure.
  3. Press transfer: 10–15 seconds.
  4. Peel: Follow the film’s behavior.
    — Hot peel: Peel immediately while hot.
    — Cold peel: Let it cool fully, then peel.
  5. Finish press (recommended): Cover with parchment or a finishing sheet.
    Press 5–10 seconds. Improves durability and reduces edge lift.
Notes for clean results
  • Use a smooth platen and even pressure across the image.
  • Avoid steam. Moisture kills adhesion.
  • Textured garments may need slightly more pressure or a longer finish press.
If you see issues
  • Edges lifting: More pressure, add finish press, or increase time slightly.
  • Poor adhesion: Increase pressure, confirm temp accuracy, and pre-press longer.
  • Scorching/dye migration: Lower temp, shorten time, use a protective cover sheet.

Built for real press conditions. Process-first. No shortcuts.
Delivery
Order Delivery
  • Production starts after artwork approval. Files must be production-ready to enter the queue.
  • New or unverified artwork may require a test print. This can extend turnaround time.
  • Turnaround time is production-dependent. Volume, artwork, and approval status all affect timing.
  • Orders placed before the daily cutoff are queued for the next available production window.
  • Orders placed after the cutoff roll into the following production day.
  • Shipping time begins after production is complete. Transit time is carrier-dependent.
  • Local pickup is available. Pickup details are confirmed after order approval and final inspection.

Production-ready files move faster. Test printing ensures consistent results.
