Graftee Studio DTF Pressing Instructions

This guide works for both Hot Peel and Cold Peel applications.

1. Prep the Fabric: Use a lint roller to quickly clean the area where the design will be placed.
   
   
2. Pre-Press: Give the garment a quick pre-press for 5-7 seconds to smooth out wrinkles and remove moisture.
   
   
3. Position & Press: Place the design onto your garment and press it according to the Press Settings for your heat press (see below).

Pro Tip: Every press is different! We recommend running a few test prints to find the perfect settings for your specific equipment and environment.

The Peel (Hot or Cold):

• 🔥 For a HOT Peel: Do not allow the transfer to cool! After the main press, wait just 5–10 seconds, then peel the film from one corner using one consistent, smooth motion.
  
  
• ❄️ For a COLD Peel: Wait until the entire transfer is completely cool to the touch before peeling the film away.

The Final Touch (Post-Press): Re-press the garment for a final 5 seconds to really lock the design into the fibers.

⭐ Best Results Note: For both pressing stages, placing a Teflon sheet between the heat press platen and the design helps create the smoothest, best-looking results!
