During the first and second week of the lesson, Prof Galina let us explore the different types of heat transfer method.

“Wet” and “Dry”

(Heat Transfer)

A means of transferring a design to a substrate using an intermediate step.

How does heat transfer go about:

• In heat transfer printing, a design is printed in reverse (typically by screen printing) on a special release paper using a plastisol-based ink (or another type of sublimable dye).
• The printed image is then placed against the desired substrate (commonly a fabric, such as a T-shirt) and subjected to high temperature (commonly 375ºF) and pressure for a short period of time.

 

Short Tutorial by Galina:

Turn the temperature to the kind of material that we will be using

Wood can be use for heat transfer too.

Needs to let it cool down, for few seconds before we peel it out.
