DTF Heat Pressing Instructions

Thank you for choosing Divine CuteTeez! Follow these instructions for the best application results.

Recommended Heat Press Settings

  • Temperature: 310°F (154°C)
  • Time: 6–10 seconds
  • Pressure: Firm to Heavy
  • Peel: Hot Peel (Peel immediately after pressing)

Note: Every heat press is different. You may need to make slight adjustments based on your equipment, garment, and environment.

Step 1: Prepare Your Garment

  • Place your garment on the heat press.
  • Remove any wrinkles by pre-pressing for 3–5 seconds.
  • Make sure the garment is completely dry before applying your transfer.

Step 2: Position Your Transfer

  • Place the transfer design face-up on the garment.
  • Double-check placement before pressing.

Step 3: Press

Press using:

  • 310°F
  • 6–10 seconds
  • Firm to Heavy Pressure

Step 4: Peel

Immediately peel the carrier sheet while it is still hot using a smooth, steady motion.

If any part of the design lifts, simply lay the film back down and press again for a few more seconds.

Step 5: Final Press (Recommended)

For maximum durability:

  • Cover the design with parchment paper, butcher paper, or a Teflon sheet.
  • Press again for 3–5 seconds using the same temperature and pressure.

This helps create a softer feel and improves wash durability.

  • Washing Instructions

    • Wait 24 hours before washing.
    • Wash garments inside out.
    • Use cold water.
    • Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
    • Do not bleach.
    • Do not dry clean.
    • Avoid ironing directly on the design.

  • Troubleshooting

    Design isn't sticking

    • Increase pressure.
    • Press for an additional 2–4 seconds.
    • Verify your heat press is reaching the correct temperature.

    Design is lifting while peeling

    • Lay the film back down.
    • Repress for 3–5 seconds.
    • Peel again while hot.

    Garment has a press box
