How to Press Your WearLab DTF Prints
WearLab DTF prints are designed for easy, reliable heat pressing with professional results.
Recommended Settings
-
Cotton garments: 150°C
-
Polyester or poly blends: Slightly cooler (145–148°C recommended)
We use the DTF Station Flexi ink and powder system, which performs best at these temperatures and delivers strong adhesion with a soft finish.
Pressing Instructions
-
Pre-press your garment for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
-
Position the DTF transfer on the garment, image side up.
-
Press at the recommended temperature for 10–12 seconds using firm, even pressure.
-
Allow the transfer to cool, then peel (cool peel).
Second Press (Strongly Recommended)
For a more durable, professional finish:
-
Cover the design with a canvas sheet (preferred).
-
If you don’t have canvas, cotton fabric works in a pinch.
-
-
Press again for 5–8 seconds at the same temperature.
This second press helps:
-
Seal and prolong the life of the print
-
Improve wash durability
-
Embed the ink into the fabric for a smoother, higher-end finish
Allow the garment to cool fully before handling or packaging.
For best results, wait 24 hours before washing and wash inside-out on a cold cycle.
