DTF Transfer Pressing Instructions –

Follow these simple steps to achieve perfect, long-lasting results with your BTB DTF transfers.
Proper pressing ensures vibrant colors, strong adhesion, and professional quality for every garment.

🧥 What You’ll Need

  • Heat Press Machine (recommended over household iron)

  • Teflon Sheet or Parchment Paper

  • Lint Roller

  • Clean, Flat Garment (cotton, polyester, or blend)

  • BTB DTF Transfer Sheet

🔥 Pressing Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat Your Press
Set your heat press temperature between 300°F – 325°F (150°C – 163°C) with medium pressure (40–60 PSI).
Allow the press to fully heat up before starting.

2️⃣ Prepare Your Garment

  • Use a lint roller to remove any dust or fibers.

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

  • Make sure the surface is flat and smooth.

3️⃣ Place Your Transfer

  • Position your BTB DTF transfer face down (design facing up through the film).

  • Ensure correct alignment and flat contact with the fabric.

4️⃣ Press the Transfer

  • Press for 10–15 seconds using medium pressure.

  • Do not move or slide the press during pressing.

This allows the adhesive to bond evenly to the garment fibers.

5️⃣ Let It Cool (Cold Peel)

  • Remove the garment from the press and let it cool completely for about 30–60 seconds.

  • Once cool, peel the film slowly and evenly from one corner.

    • If any design lifts, replace the film and press again for 3–5 seconds.

6️⃣ Final Press (Recommended)

  • Place a Teflon sheet or parchment paper over the design.

  • Press again for 5–10 seconds to lock in the print and create a smooth, matte finish.

This step enhances durability and helps your transfer withstand multiple washes.

🧺 Washing & Care Instructions

  • Wait 24 hours before washing the garment.

  • Wash inside-out in cold water.

  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

  • Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

  • Do not iron directly on the transfer.

When properly pressed and cared for, BTB DTF transfers can last 50+ washes without fading or cracking.

⚡ Pro Tips

✅ For thicker garments like hoodies, increase press time by 2–3 seconds.
✅ Always perform a test press on a sample fabric before full production.
✅ Store unused transfers in a cool, dry area away from humidity and sunlight.
