FAQ
Yes, with proper application and care, our DTF transfers have wash durability up to 75 washes* while maintaining vibrancy and detail. For best results, machine wash cold and tumble dry low.
DTF transfers should not peel or lift. For best results, we recommend using our Cricut Heat Guide for step-by-step instructions and precise time and temperature settings for pressing your DTF transfers. Results vary depending on your heat press.
Both DTF and sublimation produce full-color, long-lasting designs, but they work differently:
- DTF: Designs are printed on a special film and pre-coated with adhesive powder, so they can be applied and pressed to any color and almost any fabric, including cotton, polyester, blends, and more.
- Sublimation: The ink becomes one with the material, so the designs are best applied to light-colored polyester surfaces of fabrics or sublimation blanks.
Cricut EasyPress® 2, Cricut EasyPress 3, and Cricut Autopress® work best for applying DTF transfers, ensuring even heat and consistent pressure every time. For any other brand of heat press, please refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines on compatibility and the best way to apply DTF.
