Need a human to actually talk to? Call now! (407) 308-5886. We are happy to work with you to answer any questions about direct to film transfers and make sure your order goes exactly as you expect it to. Here’s a quick cheat sheet for each process:
DTF
All of our DTF transfers utilize instant peel. 310(F) for 15 seconds, then re-press with a texturizing sheet. Peel instantly once the press opens. No time delay, simply peel. Garments typically last 75 to 100 washes. The list of fabrics DTF works on is nearly all of them.
UV-DTF
No heat required to apply. Simply peel the front of the transfer, and apply to a hard surface. There are many guides on YouTube about how to apply a uv-dtf transfer to a tumbler, mug, glass, signs, etc.. Each of them show the same overall principals and various techniques depending upon the product. The most important part with UV-DTF application is to ensure the product is given 24 hours to fully cure after the transfer is stuck on. Once this happens, it will require a heat gun and soapy water to remove a fully cured transfer. Or, you can also use goo gone or similar products.
Sublimation
We strongly recommend “Jennifer Maker’s Sublimation Guides” for times and temperatures. Each sublimatable products instructions vary some. Follow the product manufacturers recommendations on times and temperature and utilize Jennifer’s guide when necessary for other products.
Embroidery
All of our embroidered patches come with heat transfer adhesive. You will not rip the patch off without destroying the hat or garment. Try if you like, but be warned! 🙂 300(F) for 12 seconds heated from the back side. Heating on a double platen press is recommended for patches on hats, but not required. No second press is needed. Use heat pillows when necessary to protect buttons or uneven areas.
Canvas
All canvas are printed assuming the bleed and wrap margins are part of your images. Utilize the bleed provided to mount any way you see fit.
Posters
Easy stuff here, thumbtack and a wall. Hang that Lamborghini, kid!
