Frequently asked questions
Which heat press is best for DTF transfers?
Any quality press that delivers even heat and firm, consistent pressure works well. We prefer pro-grade clamshell or swing-away machines.
Can I use a handheld press?
Handheld presses can struggle to maintain pressure across the design. A traditional heat press gives more reliable, long-lasting results.
What settings should I start with?
Follow our pressing guide for current temp, time, and pressure ranges, then do a small test press and adjust as needed for your garment and press.
