High-density and puff heat transfers
Raised effects depend on stencil thickness, ink rheology, repeat passes and cure. High-density and puff are different effects: specify the required edge definition, height and hand feel before choosing mesh and drying conditions.
Production route
High-density and puff require different ink behaviour. Measure raised height at several print positions and compare edge definition after curing.
Equipment for printing the transfer layer; heat pressing and final garment qualification are separate steps.
What to validate before production
- Carrier dimensional stability after each dryer pass
- Layer-to-layer registration across the full web or sheet
- Ink and adhesive compatibility with the intended fabric
- Peel, wash, stretch and abrasion on production samples
Equipment selection
No. Film, ink, adhesive and curing requirements must be checked with real samples before selecting a production configuration.
Frequently asked questions
Can this equipment print every transfer material?
No. Film, ink, adhesive and curing requirements must be checked with real samples before selecting a production configuration.
Does this machine apply the transfer to garments?
These screen printers make the printed transfer layer. Application to the finished product requires a compatible heat press and validated settings.
