A digital transfer is a way of producing full colour designs, which are too complex to be screen printed, for application onto garments, caps or bags via a heat process.
The required image is printed onto white transfer paper. This is then cut out with a plotter, which is a machine that cuts through paper following an outline drawn in Adobe Illustrator.
The transfer paper is then placed onto the object. The correct amount of heat & pressure is then applied. This is a precise process which ensures there is no damage to the surface of the product. The image then adheres permanently to the object.
