Meet the Valentine Love Bug—our ready-to-press DTF transfer that looks like it just rolled out of a candy‑colored daydream.

How to press (quick-start)

Settings vary by press and fabric, but these maker-tested ranges get you rolling fast:

• Pre‑press garment 2–3 seconds to remove moisture.
• Temp: 300–320°F (149–160°C).
• Time: 12–15 seconds.
• Pressure: Medium, even across the platen.
• Peel: Hot, warm, or cold depends on your setup—if you feel resistance, let it cool and peel slower.
• Finish press: Cover with parchment/Kraft and press 3–5 seconds for a softer hand and improved durability.

No heat press? A handheld press can work in a pinch—steady, firm pressure at ~320°F and slightly longer dwell. Always test on scrap first.

Care that keeps colors lively

• Wait 24 hours before the first wash.
• Wash inside out in cold water; mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softener.
• Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron directly on the design.

What crafters ask (and wish someone told them)

• Is this a shirt? No—this is a physical DTF transfer only. You press it onto your chosen garment.
• Will it work on dark garments? Yes. The opaque white underbase keeps the pinks and reds vivid on dark and light fabrics.
• Does placement matter? For adult tees, 2.5–3 inches below the collar tends to look balanced. Use a ruler or center guide for repeatability.
• How durable is it? With proper care, DTF holds up through dozens of washes without cracking or flaking.

Maker notes from Quick Transfers

• Store transfers flat, in a cool, dry place until use.
• If edges lift after peeling, cover and re‑press 3–5 seconds with firm pressure.
• Pressing thicker garments (like hoodies)? Add a second or two and ensure pressure is even.
