This is a ready-to-press DTF transfer, a printed film, not a finished garment. You'll need your own blank shirt, hoodie, tote, or other heat-press-safe item to apply it to.
Press at 320°F for 15 seconds, cold peel.
Books Are My Therapy leans into a simple truth a lot of readers live by — a good book is cheaper than therapy and just as effective. This illustrated design pairs a hand-drawn look with soft, readable type, built for shirts, totes, and cozy reading-nook merch.
The transfer is printed using DTF (direct-to-film) technology on a single sheet of film, with white ink built into the print so colors stay vivid on both dark and light garments. Each order is one individual transfer — not a gang sheet — so you get exactly the design you ordered.
It's available in five sizes, 4" through 12". The smallest size suits a chest pocket or sleeve placement; the largest fills a full tee or sweatshirt front comfortably.
Press it at 320°F for 15 seconds with a home or commercial heat press, using medium-firm, even pressure across the full design. Because this is a cold-peel transfer, wait until the film has cooled before removing it for the cleanest finish.
For longevity, wash pressed garments inside out on a cold, gentle cycle, and skip the iron directly over the design. Handled this way, DTF prints hold their color and texture through regular wear and washing.
Because the wording is generic to reading and self-care rather than tied to any single genre, this design works across romance, fantasy, and general-fiction shops alike.
