Applying Easy Peel DTF Transfers with an Iron

Press 2x-4x faster with our proprietary Easy Peel Technology

Set your Iron to 325°F / 163°C with hard pressure. Press for ~13 seconds. Peel after 5 seconds, hot or cool. Second Press for 13 seconds.

We recommend watching the video above for step-by-step pressing instructions

1. Position Your Design

Take your time and line up your artwork in the desired print area. To ensure your transfer doesn't move while ironing it onto the garment, use our Thermal Heat Tape to secure it.

2. Press

Shoot for a setting on your iron that corresponds with the material you are using. If that is not hot enough where the transfer is adhering to your shirt, increase it towards cotton/linen setting which is the hotter of the settings, making sure it won't burn your garment itself.

Before pressing, place our Silicone Garment Protector over the transfer for 20 seconds, pressing down with hard pressure.

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

Place the parchment paper included or a single layer of t-shirt material over the design and press again for 15 seconds to soften the design, increase durability, and remove shine.

If you want a shinier finish instead, you can use our Protective Guard Sheet for this result.

5. How to Wash

It is optimal to wash inside out with cold water. Being that you are using an iron instead of a heatpress (which applies heat with more pressure, more evenly), we would recommend hang drying instead of in the dryer. If you decide to use a dryer, we'd recommend on low heat, inside out.

Everyone's irons, heat, pressure is different when using an iron, so test to find out what works best for you. Remember that you cannot overpress your transfers. The better they are pressed, the more durability they have through washing and drying.
