The Process of Laser Transfer Printing

How does Laser Transfer Printing Works?

Laser transfer printing is best suited for cotton, polyester and poly-cotton blends, as these materials can withstand the high heat. Such items provide an excellent canvas for bold & creative designs, making them perfect for promotional merchandise and personal customisation.

Printing Your Design

Use our graphic design software to tailor the image to specific dimensions and colours.

Print the design on the Laser transfer paper using a laser printer. Mirror the design horizontally to ensure the correct appearance on the substrate.

garmentprinting

Aligning the Transfer Paper

Place the printed transfer paper face-down on the t-shirt, aligning it as desired.

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry and free from any oils or debris. This step is crucial in achieving a clean and smooth transfer.

Heat Press Application

Place the transfer film onto the substrate with the printed side facing down.

Press the transfer onto the t-shirt using a heat press set to the recommended temperature (around 265°F) and pressure for 30 seconds.

Cooling and Peeling

Let the temperature get set.

Allow the t-shirt to cool completely, at least 5 minutes, before removing the transfer paper. Be careful to peel the paper off slowly and diagonally.

Colour Vibrancy

Final Press for Colour Enhancement

For best color vibrancy, do a final press of the t-shirt at 265°F for 20 seconds. Stretch the design slightly while on the press to prevent cracking.

Understanding the Two-Step Process

Special Process for Dark Fabrics

Laser Dark is a two-step process. The initial print is transferred to a clear "B" paper, which is then applied to the garment. This allows for printing on dark fabrics without a background.

Compatibility and Materials

The process works with laser printers and the Laser Dark transfer paper. It produces vibrant, durable prints for t-shirts, tote bags and other textiles.

Achieving Optimal Results

Optimising Print Settings

Proper temperature, pressure, and cooling time are important for achieving the best results when using Laser Transfers. Experimenting with settings may be required to get the perfect print. After the paper is peeled off, some processes might require stretching the substrate slightly while it’s warm to ensure the print is flexible and to prevent cracking.

Advantages of Laser Transfer Printing

Eco-Friendly Options

Modern laser transfer printing technologies offer eco-friendly paper and ink choices, reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional printing methods.

Minimal Setup Required

Unlike screen printing, laser transfer printing does not require extensive setup or cleanup, making it ideal for quick jobs and reducing overall production costs.

Precision in Detail

Laser printers are capable of incredibly precise details, surpassing other printing methods, especially beneficial for intricate logos and fine text.

Flexibility in Design Changes

Making design changes in laser transfer printing is straightforward. It only requires altering the digital file, allowing for last-minute adjustments without additional costs.

No Color Limitations

Laser transfer allows for printing in a full range of colours at no extra charge, which is not always the case with other printing techniques that charge per colour.

Versatility Across Materials

This method can be used on various fabrics, including synthetics and cotton blends, allowing for diverse applications in custom casual and professional apparel.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Prints created through laser transfer are known for their durability and resistance to washing, ensuring designs remain vibrant over time.

Quick and Efficient

The process is relatively quick, allowing for rapid production and turnaround, which is perfect for meeting tight deadlines or printing on the spot at events.

Potential Limitations of Laser Transfer Printing

What are the Possible Drawbacks?

  • Not good for bulk orders in terms of cost-effectiveness, due to the labor needs of the process.
  • Because of the cutting process, vinyl transfers are not the best choice for designs with rough, transparent or jagged lines.
  • Available color choices are limited to the stock of vinyl that we have. Because of this, color matches are not always possible.
  • Designs have to be supplied in vector format or converted before they can be cut.
  • Artwork must be supplied in or converted to a vector format before cutting can take place.
  • Artwork approvals are only provided for orders of 15 units and over.

Certain Hues can look different on a Computer Screen and on Print

Some Colors can look Different in Real Life

There aren't many things our incredible DTG process cannot achieve! However, when choosing the colors for your artwork, it’s important to note that they may look different on a real product than what you see on your computer monitor. Even if you have calibrated your monitor to a specific color profile, there are various factors that influence the final appearance of colors on a printed product. Because of this, we can’t guarantee color accuracy 100%.

Our printers will convert your submitted print file from RGB to CMYK color space. This color conversion process changes the color gamut, or range of colors that can be expressed. You must be very cautious when using bright neon and pastel RGB values in your print files. Some examples include hot pinks, lime greens, construction orange, highlighter yellow, Easter egg shades, etc. You should also consider other factors like fabric material, garment color, and whether your print will require a white under base layer when choosing colors.

If color accuracy is important to you, we suggest ordering our pre-made color swatches on a sample product. You can use those swatches to decide which RGB values best compare to the desired results when printed on a physical product.
