Four simple steps for a crisp, durable application. Follow the exact temperature, time, and pressure below and your Raccoon Print transfer will bond cleanly to cotton, blends, and most fabrics — any color.
A heat press gives the most consistent result. Use these settings exactly — they are dialed in for our full-color DTF transfers with a white underbase.
Pre-press the garment for 5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. A flat, dry surface helps the transfer bond evenly.
Press the transfer at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 seconds with medium-firm pressure. Position the design first, then close the press.
Cold peel the carrier film — let it fully cool before peeling. Peeling while warm can lift the print, so be patient and wait.
Re-press with parchment paper for 5 seconds for the best, most durable result. This locks the ink and gives a clean finish.
Keep this handy at the press. Everything you need in one place.
Our transfers are flexible across materials. A little care after application keeps them looking sharp wash after wash.
Two of the most common issues and how to solve them in seconds.
Edges lifting
Re-press with parchment paper over the design. A second 5-second press at the same heat re-bonds any edges that did not fully adhere.
Not adhering
Check temp, time, and pressure. Confirm the press reads 300°F (150°C), you held 10–15 seconds, and used medium-firm pressure — under-pressing is the usual cause.
Answers to the things people ask most before they press.
Press the transfer at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 seconds with medium-firm pressure. Pre-press the garment for 5 seconds first, cold peel the carrier film, then re-press with parchment paper for 5 seconds.
Cold peel. Let the carrier film fully cool before peeling it away. Peeling while it is still warm can lift the print, so wait until it is cool to the touch.
A heat press gives the most consistent result because it applies even heat and pressure. A home iron can work in a pinch, but results are less reliable, so a press is strongly recommended.
They work on cotton, blends, and most fabrics, in any color. A white underbase is auto-applied for dark garments, so colors stay vivid no matter the shirt color.
Wait 24 hours before the first wash. Turn the garment inside out, wash cold or warm, and tumble dry low. Do not iron directly on the print.
Re-press with parchment paper over the design for another 5 seconds at the same heat. If the print is not adhering at all, check that your temperature, time, and pressure match the recipe above.
