Adult t-shirt DTF print.
NOTE - this is the transfer only.
Directions for application:
To apply a Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfer onto a t-shirt, follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure a successful and vibrant design application:
- Prepare your surface: Ensure your surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Set up your heat press machine, and make sure it's preheated to around (150-160°C), depending on the specific DTF transfer instructions.
- Prepare the T-Shirt: Lay the t-shirt flat on the heat press platen. Make sure it’s smooth and free of wrinkles or moisture by pre-pressing it for about 5 seconds without the transfer sheet. This step also helps remove any lint or impurities.
- Position the DTF Transfer: Carefully place the DTF transfer sheet with the printed side facing down onto the desired area of the t-shirt. Use heat-resistant tape if necessary to secure the transfer in place.
- Apply the Transfer: Lower the heat press onto the transfer and apply medium pressure. Typically, press for 10-15 seconds, but always refer to the specific time recommendations provided with your DTF transfer, as these can vary.
- Cool and Peel: Once the pressing time is complete, lift the heat press and allow the transfer to cool to a lukewarm temperature. Gently peel the transfer film away from the t-shirt. If the transfer does not separate easily or cleanly, reapply heat for a few more seconds.
- Final Press (Optional): For extra durability, you may perform a final press without the transfer sheet for another 5-10 seconds using a silicone sheet or parchment paper over the design.
By following these steps, you can achieve a professional-grade t-shirt with a vibrant, long-lasting DTF design.
Garment Care Instructions
- Allow 24 hours after pressing before washing, as the print continues to set into the fabric for up to three days.
- Wash and dry the garment inside out.
- Select a gentle cycle with cold to cool water; avoid hot washing.
- Use a pH-neutral detergent, such as KOH.
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals, including bleach and fabric softeners.
- Refrain from dry cleaning the garment.
- Air dry the garment instead of using a tumble dryer.
- Keep the garment out of direct sunlight while drying.
- Avoid ironing the print directly; instead, iron the garment inside out on a low heat setting.
- Prevent excessive heat from contacting the print.
- Some garments may require hand washing.
Please note that a heat press mark may appear on the garment after fitting; however, it will fade after a few washes.
