Prep Your Surface and Pre-Squeegee Your UV DTF

Prepping the Area: Clean your hard surfaced item by using soap & water. The cleaner the surface, the more the UV DTF will adhere. This will help avoid easy wear and tear. Do not use Alcohol.
Pre-Squeegee: Place the design face down. Using a squeegee or credit card, run over the UV DTF transfer with hard pressure, back and forth 3-5 times. This forces the design onto the clear carrier sheet.

Cut Off Excess Carrier Sheet

Before applying the UV DTF Decal/Wrap measure it against the item it'll be placed on. Cut off any sections that may overlap.

Separating The Clear Carrier Sheet From The Backing

Place your design facedown and SLOWLY separate the clear carrier sheet from the white backing. This ensures every piece of your design is lifting onto the clear carrier sheet. If it’s not, set it back down, squeegee again, and try pulling that specific area which didn’t lift from a different side. UV DTF is not as flexible as vinyl. Be careful bending UV DTF, it may crack if bent incorrectly.

Placing your UV DTF Onto Your Item

Lay the design down starting from one side and ending at the other. This will help control your placement, reduce bubbles underneath the design, and avoid wrinkling of the carrier sheet which could cause design elements being offset and/or design overlapping.

Completing The Transfer Process

After placing, use the squeegee to run over the UV DTF transfer with hard pressure, back and forth 3-5 times. This forces adhesion to your item. SLOWLY peel the clear transfer off. If all elements do not transfer, you can lay the clear carrier sheet back down, squeegee hard again, and try pulling that specific area which didn’t lift from a different side.
