Transfer Paper Heat Transfer has been around for a very long time. Specially coated technical papers are printed using laser printers or inkjet printers and then applied to t-shirts or other fabric substrates using a heat press.
The early generations of heat transfer papers are plague with issues of cracking after washing, fading of colour and many other quality issues. These resulted in an opinion in the minds of public that heat transfer prints are not durable, not of good quality and looks ugly.
The opinion of heat transfer paper is further affected by low quality technical papers produced in poor conditions without proper quality controls.
However, in recent years, several reputable brands of heat transfer papers have emerged and improvements are made to heat transfer papers every year. Heat transfer papers are now much more durable and can produce great effects and some even do not have visible polymer windows seen in earlier papers.
