Hey Bootiful Person - DTF Transfer

You are purchasing a direct to film transfer that will require the use of a heat press (not a Cricut Press).  If this is your first time ordering from us, or you are working with new fabric, we recommend using the sample pack of transfers that comes with every order or ordering a couple of extra transfers so that you can determine the optimal time, temperature, and pressure setting for your press, as each heat press does vary.  Our times, temperature, and pressure are based on Stahl's commercial line of Hotronix (and Air Fusion IQ) heat presses.

The film is a “cold peel,” which means the film needs to be completely cool before attempting to peel the film away from the design.

Direct to Film Heat Press Instructions

Flat Heat Press

Pre-press garment for 5 seconds
Press at 60 lbs Pressure (6 on Hotronix presses - medium pressure)
Poly Blends - 275 degrees for 10 seconds
Tri Blends - 275 degrees for 10 seconds
50/50 - 300 degrees for 12 seconds
Cotton - 325 degrees for 15 seconds

Do not peel until absolutely cold to the touch.
After peeling, press again for 5 seconds, covered with craft, butcher paper, or parchment paper. Each paper gives a different finish. Experiment to find what you like.

Hotronix 360 Hat Press

We have found this to be the best hat press for all types of hats from visors, to ball caps, to bucket hats.

Make sure your entire transfer is covered by the top heating plate.
Use 1/8" cover pad
Press at level 6 pressure (or 60 pounds of Pressure)
Upper heat plate temp: 325 f
Lower heating element temp: 300 f

After peeling, press again for 5 seconds, covered with craft, butcher paper, or parchment paper.

Check to make sure all edges are firmly on the hat. If not, you can move the hat around on the press to get it under the heating element and press again. You can also print on hat bills with this process!
