How to Press

(Instant Peel)

Our DTF transfers are designed for easy application and long-lasting results when pressed correctly.

Equipment Required

• Heat press (required)
  

• Teflon sheet or parchment paper (required)
  (Must be placed between the transfer and the heat press platen)

• Canvas sheet (optional – recommended for best results)

Press Settings

• Temperature: 140–150°C

• Time: 10–15 seconds

• Pressure: Medium to firm

Application Instructions

1. Pre-press the garment

Press the blank garment for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.

2. Position the transfer

Place the DTF transfer print side down onto the garment in the desired position.

3. Press

Place a Teflon sheet or parchment paper over the transfer so it sits between the print and the heat press platen.
Press at 140–150°C for 10–15 seconds using medium to firm pressure.

4. Peel the film

Our transfers support both instant (hot) peel and cold peel.
You may peel immediately while warm, or allow the transfer to cool before peeling.
Both methods are suitable — choose the method you prefer.
Peel smoothly and evenly.

5. Final press (recommended – canvas hack)

For best durability and finish, place a canvas sheet over the print and press again for     10-15 seconds.

Using canvas instead of Teflon for the final press:

• Improves durability

• Helps remove excess adhesive

• Creates a smoother, cleaner finish

This step is highly recommended for professional results.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Wait 24 hours before washing

• Wash garments inside out

• Cold wash only

• Do not tumble dry

• Do not iron directly over the print

• Avoid dry cleaning

Important Notes

• Results may vary depending on fabric type and heat press accuracy

• Teflon or parchment paper must always be used between the transfer and the heat press platen

• Incorrect temperature, pressure, or application method may affect adhesion

• Impressive Prints is not responsible for application errors during pressing
