Workflow and equipment to plan for
Plan for suitable PET film, transfer ink, adhesive powder, curing equipment and a heat press. Curing and pressing settings depend on the consumables and garment.
The sheet lists cotton, polyester and other application materials. Test the actual item before production, particularly heat-sensitive fabrics and coated surfaces.
Have the dryer or oven, heat press, RIP licence and starter consumables itemised in your quotation. Rated print speeds describe the stated modes, rather than finished-garment output.
