About screen print transfers

Screen print transfers are a method of printing images or text onto apparel and other fabric surfaces. A screen print transfer printer is used to create custom screen print transfers that can be applied to a variety of materials. The printer uses specialized inks and a printing press to transfer the design to heat-sensitive paper, which is then ironed onto the desired surface. Screen print transfers allow you to create vibrant designs with greater detail than other types of printing methods. With screen print transfers, you can produce multiple copies of your design with ease and accuracy.

Different Types of Screen Print Transfers

Screen printed heat transfers are the most popular and cost-effective way to customize apparel. They are also referred to as plastisol transfers and are a type of adhesive vinyl that is applied with a heat press. Plastisol heat transfers use a thick layer of ink to provide a vibrant and long lasting design, which makes them ideal for sports team jerseys or band merch. Screen print transfers for heat press are also great for adding large, detailed designs to apparel. The second type of screen print transfer is known as water based heat transfer. This type of transfer uses a thin layer of water-based ink which results in a soft and comfortable feel on the garment. It is often used for smaller designs that require precise details and intricate designs. Finally, there is digital transfer paper, which is a special type of paper that is printed with an inkjet printer and then pressed onto the garment with a heat press. Digital transfer paper offers the highest quality of print and is suitable for any fabric type.

Screen Prints Ready to Press

Screen prints ready to press are a great way to quickly and easily customize garments with a heat press. The screen print transfers ready to press are cut from a durable polyurethane material and come pre-coated with a specialty adhesive that helps the transfer bond with the fabric. These ready to press screen print transfers require no setup and can be used immediately. Heat print transfer is the process of applying the pre-cut transfers to the garment using a heat press. The heat activates the adhesive and creates a permanent bond between the fabric and the design, creating a perfect finish every time.
