Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) π€π‘
1. What are DTF transfers?
DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers are high-quality, full-color heat transfers that can be applied to various fabrics using a heat press. They produce vibrant, durable, and stretchable prints without the need for weeding or cutting.
2. How do I apply a DTF transfer?
Follow these simple steps:
1οΈβ£ Set heat press to 325Β°F.
2οΈβ£ Pre-press the garment for 5 seconds to remove moisture.
3οΈβ£ Place the transfer on the fabric.
4οΈβ£ Press for 15 seconds with heavy pressure.
5οΈβ£ Let the transfer cool, then peel the film.
6οΈβ£ Cover the design with parchment paper and press again for 15 seconds for durability.
3. Do I need a heat press, or can I use an iron?
A heat press is strongly recommended for best results, as it provides consistent heat and pressure. An iron may not produce even pressure, leading to incomplete adhesion.
4. Can I use DTF transfers on any fabric?
Yes! DTF transfers work on:
β Cotton
β Polyester
β Blends
β Spandex, Lycra, and other synthetic fabrics

β Wash inside out in cold water π§Ό
β Use mild detergent (avoid bleach) π«
β Tumble dry low heat or air dry π¬
β DO NOT iron directly on the transfer π₯π«

10. Do you accept returns or refunds?
We do not offer refunds or returns unless there is a print defect upon arrival. If you receive a defective transfer, contact us immediately with photos so we can make it right.
11. What if my colors donβt match what I see on my screen?
DTF prints are made in CMYK color formatting, while digital screens display RGB colors, which may cause slight color variations. We do not offer refunds for color differences due to screen variations.
12. Why do my transfers have powder or moisture on them?
Powder residue and moisture can occur due to the shipping process. This is normal and will not affect your transfer. To remove moisture, place the transfer back-side up under a heat press for 90 seconds.
