A Cricut EasyPress can apply our DTF when the platen fully covers the design. Cotton and most fabrics: 160°C for 8 seconds, peel while hot, then 10 seconds under your own paper or Teflon. Polyester: 120°C for 30 seconds, cold peel, then 10 seconds at 120°C. A household iron is only for iron-on film. If the design hangs past the plate, use a larger press.

To press our transfers you need a heat press that covers the design, a lint roller, tape, and your own parchment, baking paper, or Teflon. You do not need a DTF printer, powder, or a roll of film. A household iron is only for iron-on transfers. A Cricut EasyPress is enough when its platen fully covers the print. Blank shirts are not part of a transfer order.
