“There are none of the traditional set-up requirements or costs,” explains Matt Regan, CDigital senior vice president.

Step 1: Artwork
Because the entire process of heat transfer machine is digital, producing the artwork for the digital heat transfers is quick and easy. Simply send the artwork to the printer who will finalize the design before sending it to a high speed digital printer.

Step 2: Printing
The artwork is printed onto the underside of a polyester film using a five-color dry toner. The opposite side of the film is then coated with an adhesive formulated to adhere to your specific product, whether it’s a promotional pen, water bottle, travel mug, or whatever. Then the film is cut to the required dimensions for your product, wound on cores, and shipped directly to you.

Step 3: Decorating
The printed rolls can be loaded directly into a heat transfer machine at which time the operator sets the specific application parameters for the blank part. Then the substrate is loaded onto a nesting fixture and then transfer is applied using heat and pressure.

Repeat.

The decorated parts are dry and are ready to be packaged almost immediately after application. Glass and ceramic products, however, will require a post bake after application.
