The heat transfer foil is a technique that is characterized by being visually shiny, and whose effect is achieved by applying a double print. The final result obtained bears a certain similarity to the metallic technique, but the foil is available in a wider variety of colors, including holographic. It can be applied on clothes and other textiles in all kinds of colors. A really original finish!

Design and printing foil heat transfer at JMB
The heat transfer foil is one of the techniques that we work at JMB, with 50x70cm sheets complemented by 0.3 x 30 meter rolls. First the transfer paper is applied and then, in a second printing, the foil paper.
As for the temperature at which it works, it is around 175ºC and 180ºC, with an extraction of the paper in hot and the foil in cold. The printing time is only 7 seconds for the transfer and 3 seconds for the foil sheet. In a very short time you will have all your designs finished! Contact JMB if you need more details about this colorful technique.
