Types of Heat Transfer Printing at Esping

There are a few types of heat transfer printing. Each one is suitable for different fabrics and design styles.

Sublimation Printing

Sublimation works well on dry fit, polyester and quick dry materials. It uses heat to turn the ink into gas, which bonds with the fabric. The result is a bright and colourful design that feels soft and smooth. This method is great for sportswear and activewear.

  • Good place for all your shirt printing needs. I ordered a small quantity and they are the only few vendors in the area that were willing to do the job with a fair price. Service was speedy and quality is good. Recommended local vendor. But the surrounding area is a little tight as there isn't enough parking for visitors.
