Hey everyone!
I just had to share my latest adventure with you all. In my recent YouTube video, I entered into the world of hot peel DTF transfers from Merch Studio, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer!
For those new to DTF, this process involves printing a design onto a special transfer film that can be pressed onto fabric. With DTF transfers, you peel the film after it's heat applied to the garment with a heat press, giving a vibrant, durable finish. While we don’t offer graphic tees in our regular product lineup, we make them all the time for businesses through our Custom Request Form here. DTF transfers make it easy for us to produce high-quality, full-color garments with fast application for full color prints!
Now, I’ve been a fan of Merch Studio for a while, especially for their DTF transfers. But this time, I decided to try out their hot peel version, which was entirely new to me. You see, I’ve used their cold peel transfers before, which are your typical DTF transfer film type. With those, you’d let them cool off, peel off the transfer, and then press again. But with hot peel, it’s a whole different ball game. You have to peel it immediately and quickly, almost like ripping off a bandage. I’d recommend reading their pressing instructions here.
Luckily, before diving into my client’s shirts, I decided to test out the hot peel transfers on a different shirt. Jerald from Merch Studio had kindly sent me some extras, and boy, am I glad he did.
Now, here’s why I opted for DTF transfers this time. I had an order of 24 shirts from a local company, and I just wasn’t in the mood to weed out 24 shirts of HTV. Sure, HTV might have been slightly cheaper, but I’ll take less headaches and faster application over tedious tasks like weeding vinyl any day!
Merch Studio didn’t disappoint. I received my transfers in just a few days, and I was ready to press my shirts. The quality was top-notch, and the process was smooth sailing from start to finish.
If you’re looking to level up your crafting game, I highly recommend checking out Merch Studio. You can find them at https://merchstudio.co/
Happy crafting!
