Mom Mom Smiley – Single DTF Transfer

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.
