Transcreens,
Supacolour Transfer &
Vinyl Heat Transfers
Transcreens/Heat Transfer
Your logo's are screenprinted in reverse onto a transfer paper that has a wax coating, this allows the print to transfer onto the garments once heat pressed, then we peel the paper off to reveal the finished print. Transcreens are very strong & Durable, they are great for workwear, headwear & wet weather gear.
Supacolour Heat Transfer
Supacolour is a game-changer in the digital heat transfer world. It’s a technologically innovative way to produce digital transfers, it uses a hybrid of water-based and digital inks to give a print with amazing colour brightness and vibrancy, tonal gradients and the ability to render photo-real images. It also has a much softer feel than traditional digital transfers or vinyl transfers.
​
With Supacolour, you have the ability to print very fine lines and detail that would be difficult with traditional digital transfers. This allows us to replicate your logo to a higher finish without the need for any additional block colours underneath to attain the same level of detail.
​
Another great thing about Supacolour, there are no colour limitations, you can have as many colours in your artwork as you like and it doesn’t affect the price. There is a minimum order quantity of 20 units and we price Supacolour according to the size of the artwork e.g. 60mm x 60mm, 100mm x 100mm, A5, A4 and A3.
​
Vinyl Heat Transfer
Vinyl heat transfers are logos or text, that are contour cut in a plotter/cutter. We use polyester sheets that have a glue backing that melts when heat pressed.
These sheets come in a wide range of colours, this heat transfer method is perfect for one off single colour prints, individual names/team names & numbers.
