🐒 DTF Application & Care

Follow these steps for clean, vibrant Monkey Transfers prints. Every press is a little different, so always run a small test on your setup first.

290–320°F · 8–15 sec

🔥 Hot Peel

🎯 Medium Pressure

⚙️How to Apply

Standard hot-peel DTF settings. Adjust slightly if your press runs hotter or cooler.

👕 Prep your garment

Place the garment flat, smooth out seams and thick areas. Pre-press for 2–3 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.

📐 Position the transfer

Lay the DTF sheet ink side down on the garment. Use a ruler or alignment guide to center it before pressing.

🔥 Press settings

Use a Teflon or parchment sheet on top of the film and press with:

🌡️ Temp 290–320°F

⏱️ Time 8–15 sec

🎯 Pressure Medium

For thicker garments (hoodies, fleece), stay closer to the higher end of the temp/time range.

⚡ Hot peel

Open the press and peel the film immediately in a smooth, low angle motion while the transfer is still hot.

✅ Finish press (optional)

For a softer hand and extra durability, cover the print with parchment and press again for 3–5 seconds.

🧺Care Instructions

Treat your prints right so they keep looking fresh, wash after wash.

⏳ Wait 24 hours before the first wash to let the adhesive fully cure.
🌀 Wash inside out on a gentle cycle, cold or up to 30°C / 86°F.
🚫 No bleach or harsh chemicals. They can damage colors and the adhesive.
🌬️ For best results, hang dry. If you tumble dry, use a low heat setting.
♨️ Do not iron directly on the print. If needed, iron inside out or use a cloth on top.
📏 Avoid excessive stretching over seams or very elastic fabrics to keep edges from cracking.

Prints that are washed inside out, in cold water and without aggressive detergents will always live the longest.

How to Apply Monkey Transfers DTF Prints

1. Warm Up the Garment

Start by giving your garment a quick 5-second warm press. This step removes any hidden moisture and flattens the surface, helping your Monkey Transfers print bond cleanly and evenly. Skipping this step can reduce adhesion and overall durability.

2. Position & Press

Place your transfer where you want it, then press at 275°F for 8 seconds using firm, even pressure. A smooth, consistent press gives the most vibrant results.

3. Peel & Lock It In

After pressing, wait just a moment and peel the film while it’s still hot—a confident, single motion works best.
For maximum longevity, cover the print with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet and give it an extra 5-second finishing press. This “seal press” boosts durability and wash resistance.
