Features
- Print any design on plastic, glass, metal, wood, leather, textured surfaces and more: Shirtify UV DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers are top of the line in quality and versatility, providing great looking and lasting prints on almost any solid surface or material.
- Easy application: Our laminated peel transfers are quick and easy to apply, requiring no weeding or pretreatment. Simply peel the backing, position it, and press the transfer with medium pressure. Peel the top sheet after pressing and press for an additional 5 seconds to achieve professional-quality results far faster than traditional methods.
- Tested in harsh conditions: Our transfers are designed to maintain their quality and vibrancy through extensive washing, heat, water, and daily use. One test measured over 200 degrees surface temperature over a metal item without color change or adhesive failure. Another example applied a decal to the inside of their dishwasher and has yet to see failure. This durability is a testament to our rigorous testing, ensuring our transfers stand up to everyday wear and tear.
Pressing Instructions
To ensure your DTF transfer looks professionally pressed every time, follow these simple steps.
- Surface preparation: Clean the surface area where you intend to apply the decal.
- Position Your Design: Take your time to line up your transfer (adhesive/textured side down) in the desired location on your item. The transparent film allows for easy mock-ups to ensure you find the best location before you apply.
- Press: Peel the bottom film and press your transfer with medium pressure. You cannot damage the transfer by pressing with more pressure, or time -- within reason. Avoid sharp edges, often a soft cloth folded over a credit card is a great tool to use.
- Peel It: After pressing, the film is immediately ready to peel from your design. In one smooth motion, grab a corner and peel the film back at a 45-degree angle. Watch as your design separates from the film. For thin designs, the decal may tend to cling to the film, needing a little extra effort to get it to stick to your item. For this reason, we suggest always ordering a few extra decals to practice your application with.
- Enjoy: Your item is ready to sit back and enjoy. For the first 24-48 hours the decal can easily be removed with a utility blade or even your fingernail. As the item sets and the adhesive settles, it will retain a higher level of adhesion.
