Applying DTF prints should be smooth and easy, but a few mistakes can lead to peeling, cracking, or poor adhesion. Here’s how to get flawless results every time! 👇
🔥 Mistake #1: Not Pre-Pressing the Fabric
💡 Fix: Always pre-press your fabric for 5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. This helps the transfer stick better!
🔥 Mistake #2: Incorrect Temperature or Pressure
💡 Fix: Follow the recommended heat settings (typically 280°F for 10 seconds with firm pressure). Too much heat can burn the transfer, while too little won’t adhere properly.
🔥 Mistake #3: Peeling Too Soon or Too Late
💡 Fix: Check if your DTF transfer is hot peel or cold peel. Peeling at the wrong time can ruin the design. (Pro tip: When in doubt, let it cool!)
🔥 Mistake #4: Skipping the Final Press
💡 Fix: After peeling, press again for 5 seconds with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper to lock in durability.
🔥 Mistake #5: Pressing on the Wrong Surface
💡 Fix: DTF prints work best on cotton, polyester, blends, wood, and more—just make sure your surface is clean and smooth for the best adhesion!
