DTF sample pack

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all setting for every heat press—it’s all about finding what works best for your machine. For Cheetah DTF transfers, start by using a temperature range of 325–350°F and press for 10–20 seconds. Always apply the highest possible pressure during the transfer. With a bit of testing, you’ll dial in the perfect settings to ensure consistent and high-quality results every time.

Preparation and Printing:

Begin by placing your desired design onto the garment in the correct position. Make sure to smooth out any wrinkles on the fabric before pressing. Then, based on the garment type, apply the transfer using the recommended heat settings. Following these steps will help you achieve vibrant, long-lasting prints with your Cheetah DTF transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What types of designs are included in the free sample pack DTF?
You’ll get a wild mix different colors, sizes, crisp details, chunky text, gradients, and much more. Essentially, it’s a small sampler platter to gauge whether our DTF transfers meet the mark for sharpness and color before you dive into a custom or large order.

2. Can I pick which designs I get in my sample pack?
Not at the moment! The pack’s pre-loaded with designs we've selected to showcase what the prints can do. We tried to cover all the bases bold colors, fine lines, and all that jazz. If you’re ready to create your designs, you can upload them through our Cheetah gang sheet builder after reviewing the samples.

3. Does this free DTF sample pack work on both light and dark shirts?
Absolutely! We apply a white underbase to the transfers, so they stand out on dark tees and look clean on lighter ones too. Try them on in any color and see how the brightness and contrast hold up it’s all part of the test drive.

4. Do I need a particular fabric to try these DTF transfers?
You’ve got options! Cotton, poly, blends, tri-blends you can try them all. It’s smart to test a few different fabrics so you can see which ones you vibe with in terms of feel and color. DTF’s all about versatility, and this pack lets you see that for yourself.

5. Does the DTF printing free sample pack come with instructions?
You bet. There’s an instruction card in there with all the details heat, pressure, peel tricks, the whole shebang. Even if you’ve never touched a DTF transfer before, you’ll be set up for success.

6. Can I use a Cricut press or an iron at home to apply Cheetah samples?
We highly recommend a legitimate heat press for the best results. Cricut presses might work, but it’s kinda hit or miss. Home irons do not offer the same pressure and optimal temperature there’s just not enough even heat and pressure to achieve a solid bond.

7. Are the samples as good as your usual DTF prints?
Absolutely. Same printers, same ink, same film. No shortcuts. The idea is you get an authentic taste of what you’ll get if you order big, color, stretch, all that good stuff.

8. How long do these sample transfers last if I don’t use them right away?
We offer the best free sample pack for DTF that does not expire or spoil within a few months. As long as you store them in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, they should last for approximately six months. Don’t let them get humid or hot, and keep them flat so they don’t curl up. 

9. Do I need to press it again after removing the film?
Yes, a quick second press is essential. It helps the design stick and softens it up—plus, it’ll last longer. Use a Teflon or parchment sheet over the design during the final press to ensure a smooth, non-stick finish. 

10. Can I order more than one DTF sample pack?
We cap it at one free premium dtf transfer sample pack per person, so everyone gets a shot. If you need more, just run a small gang sheet order with your art. That way, you can test both the print quality and your custom designs. Win-win.
