Materials you will need:
DTF transfer sheet with your design.
Heat press.
Heat-resistant ironing surface (ironing board, metal iron, etc.).
Preparation
- Design: Make sure your design has been printed correctly on the DTF transfer sheet and accurately cut (if necessary) using scissors or a plotter.
- Preheating: Preheat your heat press to the temperature recommended by the DTF transfer sheet manufacturer. Temperature and application time may vary depending on the surface material you will be using, so refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions.
- Ironing: Place the heat-resistant ironing surface on a flat, stable surface. Place the garment or object on the ironing surface with the area where you want to apply the transfer facing up.
Aplication
- Positioning: Carefully remove the transparent backing from the DTF transfer sheet. Place the DTF transfer sheet on the garment or object, making sure that the design is in the correct position. You can use Teflon paper or aluminum foil between the iron and the transfer to avoid marks on the surface.
- Ironing: Apply the heat press with a firm and even pressure on the transfer. Press for the time recommended by the manufacturer. Do not apply excessive pressure, as this may damage the transfer.
Removal
After the application time is up, carefully lift the heat press. Allow the transfer to cool for a few seconds before removing the transfer sheet.
Additional tips
- For best results, make sure the surface of the garment or object is clean, dry and ironed.
- If you are applying the transfer on a curved surface, you may need to adjust the pressure and application time.
- If you make a mistake during placement, you can carefully reposition the transfer sheet while it is still warm.
Do not wash the garment or object until the transfer has had at least 24 hours to fully adhere.
Attention artists! Ensure the high quality of your prints.
To obtain flawless, high-quality prints, it is crucial to use vectorized illustrations in your designs. Raster images, with their hidden pixels, can generate white or jagged edges on printed sheets, affecting the final result.
Why are vectorized illustrations essential?
- Unlimited scalability: Vector images can be scaled up or down without losing quality, ensuring perfect sharpness at any size.
- Sharp edges: Vector artwork edges are always crisp and sharp, avoiding blurred or jagged edges in print.
- Vibrant colors: Vector images retain the intensity and vibrancy of colors, ensuring vibrant, eye-catching prints.
What about raster images?
- Hidden pixels: Raster images, such as photographs or JPG or PNG designs, may contain pixels that are invisible to the human eye. These pixels may manifest themselves as white dots or jagged edges during printing, affecting the final quality.
- Loss of quality: When scaling raster images, pixels are enlarged or shrunk, which may result in blurred edges or a general loss of sharpness.
- We do not review artwork: It is the client's responsibility to ensure that uploaded artwork is vector and of high quality.
- Your art, your commitment: By using only vector illustrations, you are assured of flawless prints that accurately reflect your creativity.
Create prints that impress!
- Remember: Vector illustrations are the key to clean, vibrant and durable prints - don't compromise on the quality of your art!
Confirm that you have reviewed the image and are satisfied with it?
Before proceeding with printing, it is important that you confirm that you have reviewed the final image and are satisfied with its quality.
