Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and flat. Place your DTF transfer in the desired location. If needed, secure the transfer with heat-resistant tape to prevent shifting.

Set your heat press to 300 °F (149 °C). Apply medium to firm pressure for 12–15 seconds. Do not use a Teflon sheet or parchment paper during the first press, as this may reduce effective heat transfer.

Hot peel immediately after pressing. For a smoother finish, post-press 5–10 sec — Teflon for gloss, parchment for matte.

Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free from any dust, dirt, grease, or residue that could affect adhesion.

Peel the clear carrier sheet from the backing, position it on the surface from one edge, and press firmly with a squeegee to avoid air bubbles.

Peel the clear carrier sheet at a sharp angle, ensuring full adhesion; if any area lifts, reposition and press before removing again.
