Your Jersey
Household Iron
5 Minutes
Flat Surface
Lay your jersey flat on a hard, heat-resistant surface. Make sure the area where you'll apply the transfer is clean and wrinkle-free.
Pro Tip: An ironing board works, but a flat table with a thin towel underneath is even better for stability.
Place your DTF transfer face-up on the jersey. The design should be visible. Position it exactly where you want it - measure twice!
Pro Tip: Use a ruler or measuring tape to center the design. Most kits have the name starting about 2 inches below the collar.
Cover the transfer with the included protective sheet. Press firmly with a hot iron (cotton/linen setting, ~170°C) for 15-20 seconds. Apply even pressure.
Pro Tip: No steam! Make sure your iron's steam function is off. Press down firmly and don't move the iron around.
Wait 5-10 seconds, then peel the backing off while it's still warm. Peel slowly and steadily at a 45° angle.
Pro Tip: If any part lifts, lay the backing back down and apply more heat to that area.
Once the backing is removed, cover the transfer with the protective sheet again and give it a final 5-second press to ensure perfect adhesion.
Pro Tip: This step is crucial for durability. It ensures the transfer is fully bonded to the fabric.
Using Steam
Steam can prevent proper adhesion. Always use a dry iron with steam turned off.
Not Enough Pressure
Press down firmly with your body weight. Light ironing won't create a proper bond.
Peeling Too Fast
Peel slowly and steadily. Rushing can lift parts of the design.
Skipping Final Press
The final press after peeling is essential for wash durability.
