Iron-On DTF Transfer Instructions
🧾 What You’ll Need

Parchment paper or Teflon sheet (comes with transfer)
-
Your garment (cotton, poly, or blend)
🔹 Step 1 – Prep
-
Wash and dry the garment first (no fabric softener).

Place garment on a flat, hard surface.

Apply firm pressure for 15–20 seconds per section.
-
If design is larger than iron plate, move to next section and overlap slightly.

-
Ensure the entire design has been evenly pressed.
🔹 Step 4 – Peel Film
-
Let it cool for 30–60 seconds (warm peel).

Slowly peel carrier film from one corner.
