Heating Instructions for Custom DTF Transfers | Craftastic Ink
"Learn the proper heating instructions for applying custom DTF transfers from Craftastic Ink. Follow our step-by-step guide for vibrant, durable prints. Achieve professional results with our recommended heat press settings and tips."
DTF is the process in which designs are printed directly onto a film. The design is able to be applied to almost any substrate/material and can go on any color item.
Every Heat Press is different, temps and pressure are not always accurate or even so adjusting for your individual press is necessary, we highly recommend a heat gun. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PRESSING ISSUES DUE TO INACCURATE TEMPERATURE OR PRESSURE.

We are not responsible for damaged transfers after you have pressed them. Please make sure you are knowledgable on your heat, pressing pressure and peeling technique. This includes using non-commercial grade heat presses or irons to try and use our transfers.
We recommend using a heat gun to verify your heat temperature and the use a pressure test prior to pressing.
