The zip, seams and reinforced areas of a softshell bodywarmer can interfere with the pressing process. This TH4 Academy tutorial shows you how to prepare the garment and successfully apply a TopQuadri® DTF transfer .
On a softshell bodywarmer, the zip, seams and reinforced areas may prevent the heat press from applying even pressure. To avoid defects, prepare the garment, choose the printing area carefully and position the transfer precisely.
Then proceed with the heat press and remove the film. This method will help you save time and ensure a clean, professional finish. Ready to apply, the TopQuadri® DTF transfer makes for clean, simple and quick personalisation.

FAQ
Start by preparing the softshell bodywarmer and choose the printing area, taking into account the zip, seams and reinforced areas. Next, position the TopQuadri® DTF transfer, heat press at 135 °C for 15 seconds at medium pressure, then peel off the film whilst still hot to achieve a clean, professional finish.
The zip, seams and various areas of extra fabric can prevent the press from applying even pressure. This unevenness increases the risk of defects during application. Proper preparation of the softshell bodywarmer and precise positioning of the transfer ensure that the pressure is distributed more evenly.
Choose an area, taking into account the seams, the zip and the extra fabric of the softshell bodywarmer. The aim is to enable the press to apply as even a pressure as possible to the transfer, in order to minimise defects and achieve a clean result.
