DTF Transfers are becoming increasingly popular with crafters as many realize they offer a lot more flexibility than sublimation transfers. DTF transfers are cutless, weedless full color transfers that are not only inexpensive and easy to apply, but they can go on any color or type of garment. A DTF printer is a high priced investment for a small business that plans to print transfers daily. But there are plenty of options for purchasing DTF transfers. In this tutorial I'll show you how to put DTF transfers on t shirts with a heat press whether you print them yourself or purchase the transfers. Once you have your DTF transfers, you want to make sure your heat press is warmed up to 338 degrees and set for 10-15 seconds. Before you begin, you'll need to make sure you know (from your DTF supplier) if the film used is hot or cold peel. Cold peel is most often used. Place your shirt directly on the press and give it a pre-press to get out any wrinkles or moisture. Put the DTF transfer directly onto the shirt with the film side facing up. Lower the upper platen of the heat press directly onto the transfer and apply medium, even pressure for 10-20 seconds. Do not use a cover sheet. TIP: If you're like me and having a hard time remember the exact times and temperature for DTF, you can download this free DTF time and temperature printable cheat sheet. Open the heat press. If you have cold peel DTF transfers, remove the shirt from the heat press and wait until the transfer is completely cool to the touch before carefully peeling off the transfer film. If your DTF Transfer starts to lift with the film, it's not cool enough yet. Now you want to repress at the same time and temperature again with a cover sheet to press the DTF transfer into the fibers of the t shirt. And that's it...it's that easy to put DTF transfers on t shirts! Want to learn more about the best desktop DTF printer for small businesses? Check out this DTF printer comparison.

Be unique with your style and stand out with They Not Like Us Man Zodiac DTF Transfer. This is NOT a TShirt, but a bold statement piece for those who want to express their individuality. Show off your personality with this high-quality transfer, made for those who dare to be different. YOU MUST USE A COMMERCIAL HEAT PRESS FOR ALL TRANSFERS SOLD IN THIS STORE. A CRICUT EASY PRESS OR IRON WILL NOT WORK! **This is a DTF Transfer only** Heat your press to 320-330° F depending on your press. I have found the 330 F is my sweet spot. We recommend starting with a lower temp and going to a higher temp if needed. Some presses run hot, 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." Roll your garment with a fabric roller to remove as much lint as possible. Pre-press the shirt or material for 5 seconds before adding the transfer to remove moisture. Lay the transfer down flat with the ink facing the material. The image should be facing you. Press with extremely heavy pressure for 30 seconds. Remove from heat press and after 15 seconds peel the transfer film off of the shirt for a seamless peel. Place substrate back onto heat press & cover the design with a Teflon sheet or Butcher paper. Press for 30 more seconds to ensure the transfer has properly adhered to your substrate. If the transfer does not stick, put the transfer paper back down, and press for a few more seconds. Transfers not sticking are usually due to uneven heating across the press, not enough pressure, and/or not pressed long enough. DTF transfers can be pressed onto any shirt material including cotton and polyester. Nale & Ava LLC is not responsible for operator or machine error when applying screen print, DTF, or sublimation transfers. We recommend purchasing extra of each transfer and practicing with your machinery, temperatures, pressure, and times before attempting your final product.
