*** If you need a transfer printing URGENTLY, please send us a direct message and we'll give you our latest timings, availability and prices for a priority order ***
*** Transfers pictures are ONLY EXAMPLES to show the process (more info about the photos further down), this listing is to print your own custom artwork to transfers for you to apply yourself ***
This process is far superior to cad cut vinyl or plotter cut HTV. The level of intricacy and detail attainable with this process is far beyond any vinyl as no weeding is required at all. As you can see from the listing photos, that kind of design would take some one hours to weed and thus wouldn't be competitively priced.
Essentially, you get ready to press transfers for use with a good quality branded heat press. Cheap and budget presses may not produce reliable or consistent results which we cannot be held responsible for. A good quality heat press is ESSENTIAL to apply our transfers. A domestic iron with no ability to apply pressure will NOT WORK properly. We cannot be held responsible for improper application of our transfers. We will provide an application chart with your purchase detailing the time, temperature and pressure required for your chosen range of substrates.
We provide this service for professional or semi-professional people and businesses that don't have a White Toner print facility but would like to add low cost short run transfers to their line-up. These are especially cost effective when you fit multiple images or designs onto a page as our pricing is simply per page, either A4 or A3.
We're also providing this service with users in mind that are interested in purchasing a white toner laser printer and wish to see how their designs look and feel once applied to the substrate of their choice. This also enables such users to understand some of the process and how the transfers are applied to their garments and other substrates and how they hold up under washing, drying and ironing. Though for this listing, as it's designed for hard surfaces such as wood, metal & glass, hopefully you won't need to do a wash test :)
The transfer pictured is just an example to show how your printed transfer would look when applied to a sheet of standard black card.
Please note, it's recommended that you press using a 1mm thick silicone pad or mat for mugs and a 2.5 or 3mm silicon pad for other hard surfaces. It also helps to use a contact thermometer to be sure your surface is at the exact temperatures required for a good quality transfer.
Full details and pressing instructions will be provided on purchase.
* ARTWORK PREPARATION
- Provide your artwork as a PNG, PDF, SVG, TIFF or AI
- Vector artwork must have all fonts and shapes converted to curves
- Minimum of 300dpi (lower resolutions will be scaled up)
- Please leave at least a 10mm margin/border around the whole page to allow for the peeling and trimming process
- Fit whatever you want on the page, the price stays the same
- Ideally important parts of the design should NOT be less than 1mm thick, some tiny dots may not transfer
- If possible, convert all artwork to CMY composite black C=100%, M=100%, Y=100%.
* INFORMATION REGARDING THE PICTURES FOR THIS LISTING
- Colours are 100% CMY and show the vibrancy on a black card
- The smallest detail in the design measures less than 1mm thick and can include lots of tiny holes and fine lines with tight curves.
- These were printed on an A4 sheet and applied to an A3 standard black card.
- Ruler added in some shots to show the level of detail, using a mm and centimetre scale.
* COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFORMATION
- We will not print ANY items that infringe on someone else's copyright, trademark or intellectual property. This is illegal.
- Fair use and parody designs will be accepted if we are happy that they don't infringe. You are ultimately responsible for the artwork you create and anything that is deemed too close to the original or a brand conflict will be refunded and cancelled.
- Don't take this personally, please get in touch if you feel your artwork is genuine and should be reconsidered. There are significant numbers of fraudsters in this business cashing in off the back of Disney or Warner Brothers' IP and we will NOT do this under any circumstances.
- We are a professional outfit and operate legitimately. Our prices may well be higher than our competition but we produce the best colour reproduction, definition and detail (that's possible from the artwork provided) and do not profit from ripping off other people's designs.
