After hot stamping, the HTV heat transfer vinyl has the characteristics of high cover, no deformation after high temperature hot stamping, and easy to engrave, cut, and discharge waste. Widely used in textiles, laser and electroplating effects can be added. So how to use HTV heat transfer vinyl correctly?
First, understand the HTV heat transfer vinyl
The HTV heat transfer vinyl is to pre-print the pattern on the surface of the PET film. Under the combined action of heating and pressure, the image and text are separated from the carrier film, and the special printing film attached to the surface of the substrate is firmly transferred.
Second, use heat transfer film
1. Printable lettering film
setp1. Design a good pattern on the computer
step2. Use a color printer to engrave the pattern
step3. Tear off the extra part of the group
step4. Pattern display
step5. Ironing the pattern
step5. Composite positioning film
2. Spot color lettering film
setp1. Design a good pattern on the computer
step2. The cutting plotter cuts the pattern
step3. Tear off the extra part of the group
step4. The pattern is transferred to the fabric
step5. Tear off the film after cooling
step5. Finished product display
3. Heat transfer
setp1. Heat transfer finished product
step2. Cut the heat transfer
step3. Put the heat transfer on the substrate
step4. Transfer the heat transfer
step5. Tear off the release film after ironing
step5. Finished product display
Third, Matters needing attention for thermal transfer film
When hot stamping, pay attention to the “three principles” of hot stamping. The three principles of hot stamping refer to the three commonplace elements of temperature, pressure, and time. Temperature plays the role of hot melt adhesive dissolution and adhesion, pressure facilitates the fusion of the lettering film and the substrate, and time promotes the dissolution, fusion and solidification of the adhesive on the lettering film. In addition, the choice of heat press machine is also crucial. Sharpening the knife does not accidentally chop wood. Heat transfer machines, plotters, and inkjet printers are also one of the reasons for the effect of the lettering film. The tearing of the lettering film is divided into cold tearing and hot tearing. Different tearing methods will cause operation errors and affect the hot stamping effect.
