Heat Print Transfer: What You Need to Know

When designing your artwork for a heat print transfer, there are several important things to keep in mind to ensure that your design turns out perfectly. First and foremost, only use white ink if it represents white ink on a colored background. It's also crucial to use spot colors when creating your artwork.

Vector Files: What You Need to Know

All vector files will be evaluated to determine if they are print-ready. If not, please indicate the exact size you would like them changed to. Non-vector artwork is subject to a special art charge, so it's best to ensure that your files are in the correct format.

Acceptable File Types

We accept Adobe Photoshop non-flattened files and vector files such as Adobe Illustrator. It's also important to note that our attention to detail and customer service will give you the best heat transfers whenever you order.

Choosing the Right Formula

When choosing a formula, we recommend using our Polyester Athletic Formula Custom Transfers if you want to print on 100% polyester blended performance or moisture-wicking fabrics. However, our Cotton Soft Formula is not designed for use on these types of fabrics and may not adhere properly.

Applying Heat Transfers

Our heat transfers are easy to apply on 100% cotton or 50/50 cotton/polyester blend T-shirts and apparel. If you don't see the color you need from our stock transfer inks, you can choose a custom Pantone number and we will match it for you.

Quality Guarantee

At 'Best Heat Transfers', we use premium coated release paper to ensure that your transfers print perfectly every time. We also offer a huge selection of stock ink colors to choose from. Our heat transfers usually outlast the garments when applied correctly, and our inks are durable with a very soft feel to the touch.

Custom Designs

We can send in your designs or have a member of our graphic artwork department create something just for you. Our heat transfers are custom made to your specifications, and with over 30 years experience in the screen printing business, we know that plastisol transfer paper gives you the best results. We use plastisol ink because quality matters when you want to print your logo or design.
