Customize with DTF in 3 Steps

Customize with DTF in 3 Steps

It’s time we stop thinking customizing your favorite shirts, hoodies, bags or accessories is a difficult task. It’s EASIER than what others may believe! 


Whether it is a last-minute solution for you or it is something you enjoy doing, DTF will solve all of your problems any way you look at it. It’s efficient, budget-friendly, and it always brings out excellent results if you choose the best quality option, which, of course, it’s us ;) 


We decided to show you a 3-STEP process to customize with DTF transfers. You can do it at home and you only need 3 things: a piece of clothing (preferable cotton, polyester, etc.), a heat press (and iron could work too if it reaches the right temperature), and your DTF TRANSFERS. You will be able to print FULL color, more durability and just better quality in general. 


Here’s what you must do: 


  1. Choose every design you need. It could be one or as many as you can fit on your gang sheet. If you don’t know how to create your own file, check out our tutorial pinned on our instagram: @printprodtf. Once you have decided, come to our website, upload your file and order as many as necessary. You will receive them in less than 48 hours! 
  2. After getting your transfers, it’s time to press. Peel the plastic of your transfer and accommodate it the way you want it. Remember: your print will come out EXACTLY as the size and quality you set them up beforehand. It will not shrink nor get darker. This is the reason why you need HIGH-QUALITY materials. After peeling and setting up your heat press (250-320 F°), press for 10-15 minutes. 
  3. The last step is making sure your print sets up perfectly. Our tip is to peel the paper from the garment, let it cool for a couple of seconds and then put the paper over the print again to press for another 5 seconds. This will help the print avoid cracks or any mistakes! 

We’re truly obsessed with how DTF came to solve all of our problems. It’s definitely the beginning of a new era in the printing business and we should be ready for it.
