What Is Heat Transfer Printing?
Heat transfer printing is a broad category that covers any process where a pre-printed design is transferred onto a substrate using heat and pressure. Instead of printing directly onto the fabric, the design is first created on a transfer material and then applied using a heat press machine.
Several printing technologies belong to the heat transfer printing family, including HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl), plastisol transfers, white-toner transfers, DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers, and sublimation transfers. Each method is suitable for different materials and applications.
How Does Heat Transfer Printing Work?
The process is easy to understand:
- Design your artwork using graphic design software.
- Print or prepare the design on the appropriate transfer material.
- Place the transfer onto the fabric or product.
- Apply heat and pressure with a Kongkim heat press machine.
- Peel or remove the carrier film when the transfer is complete.
Within seconds, the design is permanently bonded to the product with bright colors and clear details.
