Types of Printing

c)    Heat Transfer – Laser transfer
Heat transfer can be used to print custom printed graphic designs and photographs on 100% cotton and cotton-blended T-shirts (50/50) and other fiber materials.

The basic concept is very simple. A standard inkjet printer and regular inks are used to print on heat transfer paper. The heat transfer paper has a film on it and this is the side that is printed on. After printing, the transfer is placed on the shirt and both are heated in a heat press with medium to high pressure. When the heating cycle ends, the head of the press is lifted and the transfer is complete. Laser transfer is good for printing on shirts for short term uses as it is not as lasting as vinyl transfer. This kind of print can last for 10 to 20 washes. The cost of laser transfer will depend on the size and shape of your designs.

d)   Heat Transfer – vinyl transfer
The transfer is put on a shirt and heated in a heat press, the ink becomes soft and sticky. When the heat is removed, the ink is stuck on the shirt so tightly that the paper back is easily removed and nothing remains on the shirt except the image.

Vinyl transfer can be last for 50 to 100 washes. The cost of laser transfer will depend on the size and shape of your designs
