How to press DTF tags inside of shirts

·

DTF Transfers are a great way to add your company logo or washing instructions in your shirt.
Although using your commercial heat press may not be the best solution, this sometimes can cause, too much pressure on a thin area and too much heat for finer designs in that area.

Step 1: We recommend using the highest setting on the heat press.

Step 2: You’ll want to put the pillow under the desired area.

Step 3: Lay your transfer in the area you are wanting it, go ahead and apply heavy pressure for about 20-30 seconds evenly making sure you get the entire DTF Transfer.

Step 4: After the transfer is completely cool, go ahead and peel it off slowly.

Step 5: We recommend doing a second press with a teflon/parchment paper to seal the deal.
