🖼️ What Is Heat Transfer Printing?
Heat transfer printing is a popular method used to apply images, logos, and text onto fabrics—especially T-shirts. It involves transferring a printed design onto the fabric using heat and pressure, resulting in vibrant, durable prints.
🛠️ Inside the Process: Step-by-Step
In our video, you’ll get a front-row seat to each part of the process:
1. Design Creation
Everything starts with a digital design—created in software like Photoshop or Illustrator. This image is then prepped for printing on a special transfer sheet.
2. Transfer Printing
The design is printed in reverse (mirror image) onto a heat transfer film using a high-resolution printer with heat-sensitive inks.
3. Heat Press Setup
A blank T-shirt is laid flat on a heat press machine. The transfer sheet is placed on top of the shirt in the exact desired position.
4. Heat & Pressure Application
The heat press applies intense heat (usually around 180–200°C) and firm pressure for 10–20 seconds, bonding the ink from the sheet onto the fabric.
5. Peeling & Final Touch
Once cooled slightly, the transfer sheet is peeled off, revealing a vibrant, permanent design on the shirt. Some finishing touches may include curing or trimming.
