DTF Transfers By Size

• Print Any Design on Any Garment: Patches and Prints Factory DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers are incredibly versatile, enabling vibrant and durable prints on any garment or material. Whether it’s cotton, polyester, blends, or even leather, our proprietary adhesive powder and high-quality inks ensure effective bonding with various fabric types.
• Unmatched colors and fine detail: Our transfers deliver unmatched colors and fine detail, ensuring every design is vibrant and precise. Our technology excels in capturing fine lines, gradients, and intricate patterns with exceptional clarity, making even the most complex artwork come to life on any material.
• Easy Application: Our transfers are quick and easy to apply, requiring no weeding or pretreatment. Simply position and press the transfer to achieve professional-quality results far faster than traditional methods.
• Soft to the Touch: DTF transfers provide an amazingly soft hand-feel, resulting in a smooth and comfortable finish. Unlike vinyl transfers and DTG printing, which can leave a stiff or gritty texture, DTF transfers ensure a superior and comfortable finished product.
• Tested to 100+ Washes: Our transfers are designed to maintain their quality and vibrancy through extensive washing, lasting up to and beyond 100 washes. This durability is a testament to our rigorous testing, ensuring our transfers stand up to everyday wear and tear.

We stand behind the quality of the transfers we print for you. If you are not satisfied, we will reprint with a new or revised file at no additional charge.

To ensure your DTF transfer looks professionally pressed every time, follow these four simple steps.

1. Position Your Design

Position your transfer in the desired location and make sure you are not pressing over large wrinkles. Heat-resistant tape is recommended when pressing on hats or when using a household iron to prevent the transfer from moving. You’ll learn when it’s needed with experience

 

2. Press

Press the transfer at 310°F / 155°C with medium to high pressure for 13 seconds. It is always recommended to test one piece first. Use a Silicone Upper Platen Cover & Garment Protector to protect your garment from touching the iron directly. You cannot damage the transfer by pressing with more heat, pressure, or time, however, it could scorch the garment.

If your settings are scorching the garment, the first step would be to reduce pressure. If that doesn’t work, retain the reduced pressure and reduce the heat by 10-15°F.  With a little practice, you’ll find the right settings for each garment and material.

3. Peel Hot After a Few Seconds

With our proprietary Easy Peel Technology, you can peel hot or cool. Wait a few seconds (or more) and peel! If parts of the design are not sticking, lay it back down and press again with added pressure and heat (+15°F).  If unsuccessful, increase heat by 15°F increments until it works. Remember, the great thing about Print and Patches Factory is that repeated pressing won’t damage the transfer.

4. Final Press & Wash Instructions

Important: While the majority of other DTF companies advise you to press it just once, this is improper. After hundreds of wash tests, we have found that a final press is imperative to create a superior product.

After the design is transferred onto the garment, with the film peeled off, cover the design with provided parchment paper or a single layer of t-shirt material and press for ~15 seconds. By doing so, it enhances the value of your product by greatly improving the durability and softness as well as reducing the shine. For a glossy look, use a guard sheet for the second and final press instead. For best results and longevity, wash the garment inside out in cold water and dry on low heat or hang to dry. Washing it with standard settings is fine, but it lasts longer with more delicate settings.
