Get perfect transfers every time with our easy-to-follow DTF hot peel application guide, brought to you by SoCal DTF Print & Supply.

Setup

Preheat your heat press to the recommended temperature before beginning.

Application Settings

• Cotton or Cotton Blends: 290°F for 10 seconds
• Polyester or Poly Blends: 285°F – 290°F for 8–10 seconds

Pressing

Place your garment in the heat press and press for the recommended time (typically 10–20 seconds) using firm pressure.

Hot Peel

Immediately after pressing, rub the corner you plan to peel with a towel or cloth, then peel the film off while still hot.

Finishing Press

Apply a finishing press for 8 seconds using the same firm pressure to lock in your transfer and ensure durability.

For best results, always test on a scrap piece of fabric before applying to your final garment.
