Pressing Instructions
Disclaimer: Times and temperatures mentioned may very based on heat press used. Please make sure to purchase at least one extra transfer to help adjust calibrate heat press. We recommend you use an infrared thermometer to gauge the temperature of your heat press.
If you need to press your print onto the garment once the film has been removed, we recommend placing the film down once more or using a teflon sheet or parchment paper without wax and adjusting the pressure to make it heavier.
For Screen Print Transfers it is recommended to only use a professional heat press with heavy pressure (use an EasyPress at your own risk)

UV DTF STICKERS
1. Ensure the glass/plastic is free from hand oils (Avoid using alcohol, as our wraps are not alcohol-friendly).
2. Before removing backing, scrape the design with a squeegee to ensure the entire design transfers to the clear film correctly.
3. Peel the transfer off the backing, starting with the corner
4. Line to the transfer onto your glass cup or surface to your liking, PLEASE REMEMBER the adhesive is extremely strong. This means once the transfer sticks its almost impossible to take off.
5. Once design is placed, use a squeegee over the entire design to push any air bubbles out.
6. Slowly peel the clear film off and you're done!
