Sumo Transfers

Wash durability

Sumo DTF transfers are tested for 100+ washes. How long a print lasts also depends on how it is pressed and how the garment is washed, so this page puts the press settings and the care steps in one place.

Press it right

Use the settings for your press. Peel the film hot, right after the press opens.

Press Temperature Time
Industrial heat press 300°F 7 sec
Manual heat press 310°F 10 sec
Cricut heat press 335°F 20 sec
Hat press 230°F 8 sec

Step-by-step instructions and videos are in our DTF press guide.

Care for printed garments

  • Turn the garment inside out before washing.
  • Wash in cold water.
  • Skip high dryer heat: tumble dry low or hang to dry.
  • Do not iron directly on the print.

If a print lifts or cracks

Most early lifting comes from pressing below the settings for your press. Check the table above and press again with a cover sheet. If a transfer still fails, tell us within 48 hours of receiving your order: email info@sumotransfers.com with your order number and photos, or call +1 (805) 806-8650. See our refund policy.
