Transfer Printing, often known as Transfer or Vinyl Transfer is a process where a thin film of vinyl is cut to shape by a digital plotter and then bound into the garment with heat and high pressure. It gives very bright and crisp results but has to be applied one colour at a time.
Transfer Printing is ideal for short runs because there are no setup cost that you get for other processes like embroidery or screen printing.
