To ensure your DTF transfer looks professionally pressed every time, follow these four simple steps.

1. Position Your Design

Position your transfer in the desired location and make sure you are not pressing over large wrinkles. Heat-resistant tape is recommended when pressing on hats or when using a household iron to prevent the transfer from moving. You'll learn when it's needed with experience

2. Press

Press the transfer at 310°F / 155°C with medium to high pressure for 13 seconds. It is always recommended to test one piece first. Use a Silicone Upper Platen Cover & Garment Protector to protect your garment from touching the iron directly. You cannot damage the transfer by pressing with more heat, pressure, or time, however, it could scorch the garment.  

If your settings are scorching the garment, the first step would be to reduce pressure. If that doesn’t work, retain the reduced pressure and reduce the heat by 10-15°F.  With a little practice, you’ll find the right settings for each garment and material.

3. Peel Hot After a Few Seconds

With our proprietary Easy Peel Technology, you can peel hot or cool. Wait a few seconds (or more) and peel! If parts of the design are not sticking, lay it back down and press again with added pressure and heat (+15°F).  If unsuccessful, increase heat by 15°F increments until it works. Remember, the great thing about NinjaTransfers is that repeated pressing won't damage the transfer.

4. Final Press & Wash Instructions

Important: While the majority of other DTF companies advise you to press it just once, this is improper. After hundreds of wash tests, we have found that a final press is imperative to create a superior product.

After the design is transferred onto the garment, with the film peeled off, cover the design with provided parchment paper or a single layer of t-shirt material and press for ~15 seconds. By doing so, it enhances the value of your product by greatly improving the durability and softness as well as reducing the shine. For a glossy look, use a guard sheet for the second and final press instead. For best results and longevity, wash the garment inside out in cold water and dry on low heat or hang to dry. Washing it with standard settings is fine, but it lasts longer with more delicate settings.

For step-by-step pressing instructions for household irons or a Cricut EasyPress, click here.

Ninja Transfers provides premium DTF Transfers that are powered by Easy Peel Technology (Hot Peel).

Press with medium pressure at 300°F-320°F (160°C) for 12-15 seconds.

Remove pressure and heat, wait a few seconds, and lift the transfer from one corner and gently peel back and apply even pressure.

Place the parchment paper included with your order on the design and press again for 15 seconds to enhance feel, increase durability and remove shine.

Here at Ninja Transfer, we've spent years perfecting the art of printing DTF Transfers.

From investing into the industry-leading Industrial DTF Printers and Dryers, to calculating the exact formula for Premium Matte Inks and TPU Powders to print on the highest quality of film, it's no secret as to why Ninja Transfers has grown so quickly in the DTF Transfer space.

Align our rulers to the neckline (We added markings for Crews and V-Necks) of your garment. Use the easy to read measurements on the DTF alignment ruler set to perfectly place your design time after time. Each ruler has double sided markings, one side for Crews, One side for V-Neck

Our DTF Alignment Ruler Set gives you everything you need to produce consistent professional-quality results. We sell five different ruler sets to ensure your DTF transfer placement is picture perfect, no matter the size of the garmet. All of the ruler sets are made from strong, durable PVC material that won't peel or fade. The measurements are clearly visible on the ruler guides, making it easier to quickly line it up with the collar of the garment, saving you hours of repositioning and second guessing. Other tools included are pins and measuring tape, plus a placement guide.

Our DTF Alignment Ruler Set includes:

How to Machine Wash:

1. Turn your pressed shirt inside-out before washing.
2. Separate similar colors, weight, and textures. Make sure to not overfill the washer.
3. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach with cold water on a gentle cycle.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after pressing to wash your DTF garments to ensure the transfer is completely adhered to the material and the adhesive is fully cured and locked in. This will ensure that it is durable in the long term.

Warm water, harsh detergents, and aggressive wash cycles can damage both the garment and the transfer itself.

How to Dry:

We recommend hang-drying on a plastic hanger, but a drier works fine if you follow the steps below.

1. Turn your pressed shirts inside-out before drying.
2. Separate similar colors, weight, and textures.
3. Use the lowest possible heat setting or Permanent Press.

DTF Transfers, which stands for Direct to Film Transfers, are an incredible new way of transfering any image onto any material or color without having to worry about technical printing specs you may have had to worry about in the past.

Every transfer is printed the same way with the same underbase. There are exceptions to this rule of course, but generally speaking, everything is the same on every material you transfer onto, making it much easier to have confidence that all transfers will adhere and appear as you desire on every order.

There is no limit to the color range, number of colors, or quantity that you can order in DTF transfers.  

This wasn't possible with screen printing transfers because you needed to make sure that you were ordering the correct ink type for the garments you would be printing. It would also be quite cost prohibitive to order a small quantity of screen print transfers, especially when ordering a high color count. With DTF transfers, this is a thing of the past.

You no longer have to be a t-shirt genius. Your orders will be more profitable and consistent with DTF transfers.

If your transfer is not applying correctly, stop peeling, lay it back down, and trouble shoot as follows:

• If some or all of the design does not transfer AND it was cool when peeling, it means there was not enough heat, pressure, or time. Press your transfer again with more pressure and time first(+5-10 seconds).
• If that doesn’t work, try 15°F heat increments until you find the sweet spot. You truly cannot damage the transfer by pressing multiple times.

DTF Transfers can be pressed onto almost every type of fabric. From common fabrics like 100% cotton and 50/50 polyester blends, to more niche options like denim, leather, and satin.
