Frequently asked questions

Answers to what people usually ask us.

What is a DTF transfer?

A DTF (Direct to Film) transfer is a full-colour print made on a special PET film with a hot-melt adhesive powder. You press it onto fabric using a heat press or iron and it bonds permanently. No printer or ink needed on your side.

What fabrics can I press DTF transfers onto?

Cotton, polyester, nylon, blends, fleece, denim, canvas, leather and most other fabrics. DTF works on both light and dark colours and does not require pre-treatment.

Do I need a heat press?

A heat press gives the best results (160°C, medium pressure, 10-15 seconds). A firm household iron at high heat works for occasional use but results may vary. For production volume, a heat press is recommended.

How durable are DTF transfers?

50 plus wash cycles at 30°C with proper care. Wash inside out, tumble dry low or air dry. Do not iron directly on the print. Durability matches or exceeds screen print when applied correctly.

How do I send my artwork?

Send a PNG file with transparent background at 300dpi minimum. For gang sheets, send all individual designs and tell us the size you want each. We handle the tiling and spacing.

Is there a minimum order?

No. We supply from a single A5 transfer. No setup fee applies regardless of quantity.

Can I supply my own gang sheet layout?

Yes. Send a print-ready A3 or A2 file at 300dpi with all designs already tiled. We print and cut. Or we can tile your individual designs for a small layout fee.

How quickly can I get my transfers?

Orders submitted before 11am are typically ready same day for collection from our Putney Heath shop. UK delivery is 1 to 3 working days via tracked courier.

Step-by-step

How to apply a DTF transfer

No experience needed. A heat press or firm iron is all you need to get professional results.

1

Pre-heat your garment

Press the blank garment for 3 to 5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. This helps the transfer bond evenly.

2

Position the transfer

Place the transfer film-side down on the garment. The printed side faces the fabric. Secure with heat tape if needed.

3

Press at 160°C for 12 seconds

Apply medium-firm pressure. Heat press recommended. Iron at highest setting with firm pressure if no press available.

4

Peel and finish

Peel the film while warm (hot peel) or let cool first (cold peel — we label each transfer). Re-press 5 seconds under parchment for a matte finish.

🌡️ Temperature 155°C to 165°C
⏱️ Press time 10 to 15 seconds
🤚 Pressure Medium to firm
🧊 Peel Hot or cold peel
