Heat transfer film FAQ
Q:Why does the base color of the product or the color of the film become darker after printing?
1) Your product color is too dark,and the white base of the thermal transfer film is not thick, resulting in the product color showing through after printing.You can use 2 or even 3 layers of white on the design artwork.
2)Thicken and deepen the white ink,or use high-concentration white.
Q:How to ensure that the colors of design drawings are more standard?
1) For the electronic draft, the customer confirms the color and size. If there is a 5% difference between the product and the design draft, the customer will be informed in advance.
2) Use Pantone color cards to compare color numbers with customers.
2. Printing
The PET (or other substrate) film is fed into the printing machine. Ink is applied to the engraved cylinder and transferred onto the film in layers (depending on color requirements). Each color is printed separately, with registration marks ensuring alignment.
3. Drying
After printing, the film passes through a drying tunnel (hot air or UV curing). This step evaporates solvents and solidifies the ink to prevent smudging. Proper drying ensures adhesion and color fastness.
4. Cutting
The printed film is cut into rolls or sheets based on customer requirements. Precision slitting machines trim edges and divide the film into desired widths. Some films may be pre-cut into specific label sizes.
5. Quality Inspection
Visual and machine inspections check for defects (misprints, color shifts, scratches, etc.). Adhesion, color accuracy, and durability tests are performed. Only approved films move to the next stage.
6. Packaging & Shipping
The finished heat transfer film is carefully wound onto cores or stacked as sheets. Protective packaging (plastic wrap, carton boxes) prevents damage during transit. Labels with product details (size, material, batch number) are attached before shipping.
This streamlined process ensures high-performance PET heat transfer films for applications like bucket paint bucket heat transfer, apparel labels, and industrial branding.
