The water-based inks heat transfer is a technique that uses those inks that are made with water, hence its name, as an alternative to traditional inks such as plastisols. Therefore, this type of heat transfer is considered a more environmentally friendly alternative. Increasingly, all the companies that prefer to bet on ecological solutions are opting for this type of transfer.
As for the materials on which the water-based heat transfer can be applied, it is suitable both for garments whose composition is 100% cotton and those that are combined with polyester or other synthetic fibers. For those that are made of 100% polyester, it is recommended to apply an anti-migration layer. This type of heat transfer is the one used for professional sports kits and is produced on a transparent polyester sheet.
