Applying Ink Masters DTF Transfers

Instructions for Ink Masters DTF Hot Peel Transfer Application

Follow these detailed instructions to ensure a successful application of your Ink Masters DTF Hot Peel Transfer:

  1. Pre-Heat the Press:

    • Set your heat press to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius).
  2. Pre-Heat the Garment or Substrate:

    • Before applying the transfer, pre-heat your fabric or substrate on the heat press for a few seconds. This step is essential to remove any moisture and release wrinkles that might interfere with the design application.
  3. Position the Transfer:

    • Position the DTF transfer with the design facing up on the desired area of the fabric.
  4. Apply Heat and Pressure:

    • Close the heat press and apply medium to firm pressure.
    • Press for 10 seconds.
  5. Cooling Period:

    • After pressing, open the heat press and allow the transfer to cool for 10 seconds on the fabric. This cooling period is crucial for the peeling process.
  6. Peel the Transfer:

    • Carefully peel off the transfer film in a quick, swift motion in one direction. Ensure this is done smoothly to avoid damaging the design.
  7. Final Press (Repress):

    • For additional durability, repress the fabric for 5 seconds. This helps in sealing the design onto the fabric and ensures longevity.
  8. Completion:

    • Your transfer is now successfully applied! You may check the edges to ensure complete adherence.

Additional Tips:

  • Always conduct a test press to ensure the temperature and pressure settings are optimal for your specific fabric.
  • Avoid stretching the fabric immediately after transfer application to maintain the integrity of the design.
  • Wait at least 24 hours before washing the fabric to allow the design to set completely.

By following these instructions, you will achieve a high-quality, long-lasting result with your Ink Masters DTF Hot Peel Transfer.
