Pressing Instructions

Step 1: Pre-Press the Garment

Before applying the transfer, pre-press the garment for 3-5 seconds at 290°F. This removes moisture and wrinkles, ensuring a smooth surface for adhesion.

Step 2: First Press (Transfer Application)

1. Position the RAPID FILM™ DTF Transfer on the garment with the design facing up.
2. Set the heat press to 290°F (143°C) with medium to firm pressure.
3. Press the transfer for 10 seconds.
4. Carefully remove the garment from the press and allow it to cool before peeling.

Step 3: Peel & Second Press (Final Cure)

1. Once the transfer has cooled completely, gently peel the carrier sheet off.
2. Place a Teflon sheet or parchment paper over the design.
3. Press the garment again at 290°F (143°C) for 10 seconds to enhance durability and wash resistance.

Final Touches

• Allow the garment to cool before handling or folding.
• For best results, recommend washing the garment inside out and avoiding harsh detergents.

Following these steps will ensure a professional-quality finish, giving your designs a vibrant, long-lasting appearance with superior durability.
