Easy, Fast & Simple!

DTF transfers have become immensely popular in our crafting community thanks to the easy and fast application each transfer has to offer! Welcome to an apparel decorating technique that requires no weeding, no transferring, no designing, and very little time to your finished product!

What is a DTF Transfer?

DTF transfers are a type of garment transfer that has been printed using a water-based DTF ink printed onto a clear release paper. This allows the end user the flexibility of when the transfer is applied and what the transfer is applied to. DTF transfers can be made in single color or full color images. Keep in mind that full color transfers will feel slightly thicker than single color transfers simply because more ink is used to create the transfer itself. DTF transfers from East Coast Vinyl can be applied to any cotton, polyester, or cotton-poly blend materials. 

Application Instructions***

All East Coast Vinyl DTF transfers require the use of a commercial grade heat press due to the high, even pressure that is needed for correct application. Home irons will not work.

Teflon sheets or parchment paper can be used as a protective covering when pressing. If you are pressing your DTF transfer without the clear transfer paper (such as a second press) be sure to use a teflon sheet or parchment paper to protect your heat press. Be advised that pressing pillows can negatively effect the application and these should be used at your own risk

Pressing Temperature: 330°F
Pressing Time: 15 seconds*
Pressure: HIGH
Peel: Read the following information carefully.
Our DTF transfer paper is designed to be a cool peel. If you see any lifting, lay the transfer paper back down, repress for a few seconds, allow to cool and then peel.

While it is not necessary, you can press for a second time after peeling the paper. If you choose to do this, please ensure that you use parchment paper or a Teflon sheet to protect your heat press and press for an additional 5 seconds.

DTF ink is a water-based ink so it is a safe product but the DTF powder that is needed for the adhesive is toxic. PLEASE use ventilation (fan, windows open) when heat-pressing your DTF transfer to your garment. It's not a lot of exposure but it's better to be safe than sorry.

*These settings are recommendations only and will greatly depend on your heat press. If you are not familiar with pressing DTF transfers from East Coast Vinyl, we recommend completing a few test presses to ensure the correct temperature, time and pressure for your heat press.
