Generally heat transfer prints take around 2-3 working days to complete. Smaller text and images do not work well as they have a small surface area to adhere to the garment and may require a outline or block around them so that they adhere to the fabic. Heat transfer prints require a computer generated artwork to print from, a cutting line must then be created in order for the print to be cut out. Heat transfers are printed with a large format printer using solvent based inks, then they are cut out with the machine, lined up to the fabric and pressed into place with a high temperature heat press.Our digitally printed heat transfers are printed full colour with eco solvent inks onto a quality textile vinyl. Screen printing is long lasting and permanent, the print price is calculated on the colour of the garment used (white garments are cheaper to print), the number of prints positions on the garment and the number of colours in each print, In short Screen printing is ideal for bulk printingĪ heat transfer is a digital print that is printed on a special vinyl and pressed onto the fabric with a heat press. We also print and supply a vast range of clothing items from leading promo suppliers such as t-shirts, golf shirts, work wear, hoodies, bags and caps, but we do welcome our customers to supply their own garments if they prefer. We complete our screen printing manually using only waterbased textile inks (which are kinder to the environment) and we have the ability to print from one to six spot colours as well as full colour. The process involves exact pressures, specialized water based printing inks, and heat curing to result in a long lasting print. The printer will transfer the inks through the screen to the garment with a squeegee to achieve the desired print result. Screen-printing is a traditional print process where a design or logo is printed directly onto the fabric or garment by way of a mesh screen. ![]()
