HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING | HOW IT WORKS

Heat transfer printing is the name given to any kind of printing that utilizes heat to bind a design to a fabric or material. The design is printed out onto a material covered with heat-reactive adhesive, called transfer or sublimation paper. When a heat press is applied to the transfer paper, the adhesive responds to the heat and sticks to the surface area of the fabric beneath, creating a printed textile or fabric.

Heat transfer printing is easy, as well as cost effective, so it’s excellent for smaller sized batches of customized printing. It can additionally be used to transfer detailed photographic designs, which screen printing cannot do. It’s important to note that heat transfers are not the same as Iron-Ons. Iron-Ons are usually done at home, and do not offer the high quality or lasting durability that professional Heat Transfer Printing does.

BENEFITS OF HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING

All printing techniques have different benefits to offer. Heat transfer printing is widely used as it creates long lasting, heat resistant, adhesive and water-resistant designs. Additionally, the colours created in the image are high resolution with bright and vibrant colours. Transferring your print to the material using heat allows you to put a high quality, crisp image on a t-shirt or other materials.

WHEN TO USE HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING

Heat transfer can be the most effective method of printing in certain circumstances as it produces high-quality, photo-realistic and colourful images when carried out correctly by a specialist. Due to the realistic photographic images, heat transfer is a preferred method when transferring photo images onto a garment or an object. Heat transfer also works well if the image will be exposed to the elements often, as the design won’t be damaged or discolour. It can also be an optimal printing technique to use with objects including mugs as the wax image will not be washed off in the water. Heat transfer is also frequently used to print names or numbers onto sports uniforms.
