DTF Care Instructions

Washing

  • Turn Garments Inside Out: To protect the print, turn the garment inside out before washing.
  • Cold Water Wash: Wash in cold water to prevent the print from fading or cracking.
  • Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle or delicate wash cycle to preserve the integrity of the print.
  • Avoid Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can degrade the transfer over time, so avoid using them.

Drying

  • Air Dry or Low Heat: Air dry the printed garment, or if using a dryer, set it to a low heat to prevent the print from peeling or cracking.
  • Avoid High Heat: Avoid direct heat sources like hot irons on the print, as they can damage the design.

Ironing

Iron Inside Out: If you must iron, always iron on the inside of the garment, and never directly on the print. Use a cloth or parchment paper between the iron and the print to protect it.

  • Low Heat Settings: Always use a low heat setting when ironing to avoid damaging the transfer.

Storage

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store printed garments away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the colors.
  • Proper Hanging: When possible, hang the garment to avoid pressure or stress on the printed design.

By following these instructions, you can ensure the longevity and quality of your DTF prints.
