PNW PRINT CO's DTF TRANSFERS PRESSING INSTRUCTIONS

YOU MUST USE A COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS MACHINE

FOR DTF TRANSFERS SOLD FROM THIS STORE.

A CRICUT EASY PRESS OR IRON WILL NOT WORK! A MULTIPLE-IN-ONE PRESS MAY NOT WORK BECAUSE SOME ARE NOT CAPABLE OF PRESSING WITH A HIGH PRESSURE!


  • Heat press settings: 300-310 degrees depending on your press, 13 seconds, and HIGH pressure (read above on how to set your pressure high).

  • We recommend starting with a lower temperature and going to a higher temperature if needed. Some presses run hot, and some have cold spots. We recommend testing your press in multiple areas with a heat gun and practicing with extra transfers to find your "sweet spot."

  • Make sure no seams get in the way.

  • Pre-press your garment for 5 seconds to remove moisture.

  • Lay the transfer down with adhesive facing the fabric

  • Press with heavy pressure for 13 seconds.

  • Peel the transfer film immediately while the shirt is HOT.

  • If the transfer does not stick to the fabric or does not release from the film, put the transfer film back down, and press for a few more seconds. Refer to the information above on how to troubleshoot pressing issues.

  • Cover the design with parchment or Teflon sheet, and press for another 5 seconds, HIGH pressure.

  • PLEASE NOTE: If applying to a 100% P


olyester or Nylon material, lower the temperature by 10 degrees.


PNW Print Co. is not responsible for operator or machine error when applying DTF or sublimation transfers. We recommend purchasing extra for each transfer and practicing with your machinery, temperatures, pressure, and times before attempting your final product.
