Heat Print Technology is a low investment, easy to learn, decorating method.
Designs are applied to a substrate – like a T-shirt, bag, hat, performance wear, and much more – with heat and pressure from a heat press. Heat printing has been around for decades but has recently become more mainstream as the decorating method of choice for many decorators.
When choosing a decorating method it’s important to know what item you’re decorating, what finish you need to provide, and how quickly you’ll need to turn it around. Heat Print Technology offers advantages in these key areas over other methods like screen printing or embroidery.
