Heat transfer clothing has become popular in Europe and America, becoming popular casual clothing. Because of its simple printing process and easy operation, the materials needed are economical and easy to obtain, and it can be widely printed on various substrates, such as knitted T-shirts, denim, plush, toys, shoes, backpacks, and all kinds of nylon Cap and so on. It can be transferred to the fabric with a heat press machine, which can be used in industry and civilian use. Heat transfer can be divided into foam heat transfer, offset heat transfer, penetration heat transfer, colorful bead heat transfer, laser heat transfer, flocking heat transfer, reflective heat transfer, gold and silver heat transfer and water-based heat transfer.

Penetrating heat transfer: The ink layer is thin, breathable, clear and delicate, and the overall effect is natural and realistic.

Offset heat transfer: fine patterns, exquisite effects, offset photo effects, can maintain the original charm and artistic charm.

Water-based heat transfer: suitable for all kinds of fabrics, with good water resistance and flexibility.

Gold and silver heat transfer: golden light and shiny, suitable for knitting T-shirts and backpacks. The heat transfer originated in the United States and has a long history and tradition. Because of its simple printing process and easy operation,

2. The principle and application of heat transfer

Heat transfer technology is widely used in the printing industry, and clothing hot stamping and metal photos also use heat transfer. Heat transfer technology is easy to learn but difficult to master, and misunderstandings arise due to lack of understanding.

The theory of heat transfer is actually very simple: output the image on transfer paper, and transfer it to different materials with appropriate temperature and pressure. It seems simple, but it is not! Many heat transfer shops have a high failure rate and have not been able to find it. The reason is that you can keep the bad prints for your own use, but after a long period of operation, you may be able to open the "T-shirt printing failure exhibition".

It is very simple to print the heat transfer locally, but the large area is uniform and does not fall off. It depends on the technology. The transfer interface of the heat transfer is very important, that is, the processing technology of the heat transfer paper. The high club pattern is blurred or burnt. And some heat transfer shops bought a 1,000 yuan heat transfer machine, and the printing has been uneven or the quality is unstable. In fact, the heat transfer heating system is different. Is the temperature uniform? Is the pressure just right? It is related to the quality of heat transfer. A good heat transfer machine can solve the problems of different pressure and material thickness at one time. Our company has DTF INK on sale, welcome to contact us.
