Transfer printing is the application of a printed media onto your garment, using a heat press. There are a few different types of transfer:
Digital Transfer - The design is digitally printed onto either White (for dark coloured garments) or Clear (for White garments) film. The design is then 'cut' using precision blades and 'weeded' from the film substrate. The design is then ready to be heat-pressed onto the item of clothing.
Pre-Printed Transfers - This is where a 1-colour design is 'cut' from a roll of pre-coloured film , 'weeded' and heat pressed onto garments.
Screen-Transfers - The design is screen printed onto a transfer paper in reverse, then applied to the garment using a heat press.
