A specialized material allows the transfer of printed designs onto fabric using heat. It combines the versatility of inkjet printing with the durability and adherence of heat transfer vinyl. As an example, imagine customizing a t-shirt with a full-color photograph printed directly onto this material, then permanently affixed to the fabric via heat application.
This method offers significant advantages in customization and personalization. It allows for intricate, multi-colored designs that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional cut vinyl. The process expands design possibilities and enables on-demand creation of unique apparel and accessories. Historically, achieving such detailed transfers required more complex and expensive methods, making this a more accessible and cost-effective solution for hobbyists and small businesses.
Further discussion will explore the different types available, the required equipment and software, best practices for printing and application, and considerations for durability and washability. Understanding these aspects is crucial for successful and long-lasting results in garment decoration and related applications.
