Heat Printing Synthetic Fabrics

OVERVIEW

ABOUT:

Archived Webinar: Performance wear, jackets and bags begin the list of items comprised of synthetic fabrics that decorators want to image. These items result in some of the largest profit per item returns, and continue to pace the industry in customer demand. However, dye migration, stretch-ability, special coatings, repellents, odd shapes and heat sensitivity give decorators headaches across a wide variety of SKUs where predictability and consistency is tough to come by. Learn about technologies available for imaging with heat printing and the strengths of each for synthetics (including sublimation, print/cut, heat transfer film, screen printed transfers); proven techniques to test items prior to printing an entire job; and surefire strategies for loading and printing items made of synthetics.
