What is the difference between Heat Transfers and Hot Stamping. Both require heat, pressure, and dwell (time) to apply an image to a product, but where each differs is in the image itself. Hot stamping images are generally one color, created by the art in the die, while heat transfers are pre-printed images using silkscreen printing, offset printing or digital printing. As a result, heat transfers can be one color or multicolor. What are the Benefits of Heat transfers vs Hot stamping, Silkscreen printing or Pad printing: • Heat transfer is a Environmental friendly, dry process, unlike silk screen printing, pad printing and similar methods. • There are no storage problems: flammable materials, strong odors or ink mixing. • The product can be handled immediately after printing. There is no dry time. • High quality images! • Heat transfer is a ONE-step process, without pre-treatment and reducing the number of process steps required to apply a multi-color graphic. • Reduction in the set-up time between jobs. • Heat transfers can be used to decorate a wide range of materials including wood, glass and plastics like ABS, PE, TPE, PP, EVA, Tritan, Surlyn, PET, POM, GREEN and BIO plastics and many more.
