[About Heat Transfers](https://support.fmexpressions.com/about-heat-transfers?hsLang=en) June 1, 2026 # How To Apply Our Transfers **Applying our heat transfers and DTF transfers is super simple. Follow the steps and instructions below to achieve perfect results on your next project!** **1) No Teflon Sheets, Covers or Pillows. Ever. (except DTF or Silicone)** Never use teflon sheets, covers or pillows with any of our plastisol formulas. They dissipate the heat too much, resulting in a poorly applied transfer. **2) Calibrate Your Heat Press.** You will need to use a quality Infrared (IR) Temperature Gun (Contactless) to ensure your heat press is heating evenly and accurately. You should do this each and every time you start a new pressing cycle. **3) Pressure, Pressure, Pressure.** Plastisol transfers will give you a quality and long-lasting decoration solution, but you HAVE to ensure you are using adequate and even pressure. This will ensure the formula properly adheres to your garment. Not using enough pressure can result in poorly applied plastisol transfers. **4) Water resistant, waterproof, and fireproof garments.** We recommend testing a sample on your item before production. Water resistant, waterproof and fireproof garments may not accept a heat transfer application. **For Detailed Pressing Instructions, please visit the formula overview page that matches your ordered formula:** - [Direct-to-Film (DTF) Transfers](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/dtf-transfers) - [Athletic Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/athletic-formula) - [Vintage Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/vintage-formula) - [Fashion Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/fashion-formula) - [Performance Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/performance-formula) - [Nonwoven Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/nonwoven-formula) - [Silicone Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/silicone-formula) - [Foil Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/foil-formula) - [Puff Formula](https://www.fmexpressions.com/pages/puff-formula) - [About Heat Transfers](https://support.fmexpressions.com/about-heat-transfers?hsLang=en) - [Artwork Resources](https://support.fmexpressions.com/artwork-resources?hsLang=en) - [Ordering](https://support.fmexpressions.com/ordering?hsLang=en) [![FMExpressionsLogo-1](https://support.fmexpressions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FMExpressionsLogo-1.jpg?width=75&height=75&name=FMExpressionsLogo-1.jpg "FMExpressionsLogo-1")](http://fmexpressions.com) 401 Taylor Avenue, Gordonsville, VA 22942 [(888) 788-7133](tel:+18887887133) Copyright © FM Expressions
