Flower tongue -Direct To Film Transfer

Cotton Fabrics: 120-150 deg Celsius @ 15-25 seconds

Prepress the Shirt
Prepress the shirt to remove any moisture and wrinkles. This ensures that the fabric is smooth and dry, providing a better surface for the transfer.

Position the Transfer
Place the DTF transfer film on the desired area of the shirt. Make sure it is aligned properly to ensure the design will be applied exactly where you want it.

Press the Shirt
Use the specified time and temperature settings to press the transfer onto the shirt. Follow the recommended heat press settings for best results.

Cool Down Before Peeling
After pressing, allow the shirt to cool down for 15-20 seconds before peeling the transfer film off. Although the film is hot peel, it’s best to wait to ensure a smooth, clean peel without damaging the design.

Repress with Parchment Paper
Once the film is peeled off, repress the design with parchment paper on top. This step ensures that the design fully adheres to the fabric, increasing durability.

Wait 24 Hours Before Washing
Do not wash the shirt within 24 hours after pressing. This waiting period allows the transfer to fully set and ensures that the design remains intact during washing.

Pressure and Heat Requirements
DTF transfers require heavy pressure for optimal results. An industrial heat press is recommended for this process. Using a Cricut heat press may not provide sufficient pressure, which could affect the quality of the transfer.

FILE REQUIREMENTS FOR DTF PRINTING

Accepted Formats: Only .PSD, .PNG, and .SVG files are allowed.

Transparent Background: All designs must have a transparent background to prevent unwanted elements from appearing in the print.

Exact Print Size: Artwork must be submitted in the exact required print size. We do not resize designs.

Text Size: For clear printing, all text must be at least 0.5 inches tall.

Details: Fine details should be thickened or outlined for better transfer quality.

Design Limitations: DTF printing does not support transparency or drop shadows, as these elements will not adhere properly to the fabric. Please remove them from your design, adjust them to at least 70% transparency, or replace them with solid lines.

DPI Requirement: Files must be submitted at a minimum resolution of 300 DPI for optimal quality.

Image Quality Warning: If your file looks blurry or pixelated on the screen, this will be magnified up to 100x when printed. Low-quality files may have dead pixels surrounding the design, causing a white edge border around the print.

No Refunds: No refunds will be given for pixelated or low-quality files. Designs will be printed exactly as submitted without any edits.

Adhering to these requirements will ensure the best printing results.
