🎓 DTF Tip of the Day: More heat is NOT better.
One of the most common mistakes when pressing DTF transfers is thinking that extra heat or extra pressing time will improve durability. In reality, it can do the opposite.
Over-pressing may:
• Make the print feel stiff instead of soft.
• Dull the colors and reduce the finish.
• Affect how the adhesive bonds to the fabric, impacting long-term performance.
DTF transfers are engineered to work within specific temperature, pressure, and time settings. Following the manufacturer’s recommended instructions ensures the best adhesion, vibrant colors, and a soft, professional finish.
Remember: A successful DTF application isn’t about using more heat, it’s about using the right heat.
