Prepare Your Heat Press

Prepare Your Heat Press

Hello, printing enthusiast! Ready to dive into the world of DTF printing and bring your designs to life? Let's go through the process step by step for smooth sailing.

First things first, ensure your heat press is spotless! Clear away any dirt or residue to ensure seamless printing.

Heat Things Up: Next, preheat your reliable heat press to the recommended temperature for DTF printing, typically between 300°F to 320°F or 160°C to 170°C. While it's heating up, check your fabric to ensure it's clean and wrinkle-free.

Position and Protect: Now, let's place the DTF print correctly. Lay your fabric flat and position the print with the printed side facing down. To maintain cleanliness, cover the print with a non-stick protective sheet or parchment paper to prevent ink from sticking to the heat press.

Press Away: Time to work your magic with the heat press! Adjust it to the recommended temperature for DTF printing and press the fabric and print assembly for about 8-10 seconds. Once done, carefully peel off the DTF film from the fabric in one smooth motion. Pro tip: For added durability, consider giving the fabric another quick press without the film.

And there you have it – your foolproof guide to DTF printing. Now, let your creativity flow and watch your designs shine!
