•••••••••• UV DTF INSTRUCTIONS ••••••••••
Our UV DTF Transfers do not require any special equipment for application.
We recommend following the below steps to ensure proper adhesion:
  1. Clean your cup to ensure there are no oils present on the surface
  2. Allow the cup to dry completely
  3. Apply pressure to the transfer sheet by using a small squeege with a felt end or a credit card and running it over the design to ensure a good adhesion to the transfer tape
  4. Remove the white carrier sheet
  5. Place the design on the cup and press the design firmly to the glass as you pull the clear transfer tape away from the design
  6. Once the design has been placed on the glass and the transfer tape has been removed, apply pressure to the design on the glass by rubbing your palms over the glass to ensure good adhesion

These glasses are not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged in water.  You can remove the design from the glass by soaking the glass in hot soapy water (I use dial).

•••••••••• PERMANENT VINYL INSTRUCTIONS ••••••••••
Our permanent vinyl transfers do not require any special equipment for application.

  3. Weed the vinyl to remove the blank vinyl around the design
  4. Pull the backing from the transfer tape 
  5. Place the transfer tape on top of the weeded design
  6. Use a squeege with a felt end or a credit card and apply pressure by running it over the top of the transfer tape to ensure a good adhesion to the transfer tape

  10. Once the design has been placed on the cup and the transfer tape has been removed, apply pressure to the design on the cup by rubbing your palms over the cup to ensure good adhesion

Our permanent vinyl is waterproof and UV resistent, however I do recommend not submerging in water or washing in the dishwasher to ensure continued vibrancy.  Wait 48 hours from application to wash cup.
