DTF Application Instructions
Follow the instructions below to get the perfect Make It Lab results.
Pre-Press or Pre-Iron is not required
Make It Lab transfers do not require you to remove moisture or wrinkles before pressing. Pre-pressing is optional and only necessary if you choose to do it.
Pro Tip: When applying to a garment or surface you have not used before, we recommend a small test press to verify your settings and ensure the best possible result.
Position Your Design
Place your transfer in the desired position and ensure it is flat before pressing. It can be applied over seams, such as on 6-panel hats and t-shirt side seams. Heat-resistant tape is recommended for hats or when using a household iron to prevent shifting during application. As you gain experience, you will know when tape is needed.
Press & Peel
Press at 310°F / 155°C with medium to firm pressure for 12 seconds. Test on a spare garment first for best results. Use parchment paper to protect the transfer and garment, then let it cool for a few seconds before peeling.
Pro Tip: A silicone garment protector can speed up your process and help prevent scorching.
Final Press & Wash Instructions
A final press is recommended. After peeling, cover the design with parchment paper or a layer of t-shirt material and press for 12 seconds to improve softness, durability, and finish.
Care Instructions: Wash inside out in cold water and dry on low heat or hang to dry for best results.
