Our flagship transfer,
wash after wash.
Press-ready transfers with the richest, most durable finish we make — printed by us, pressed by you, whenever you're ready. True Pantone colours, special effects, and excellent value on repeat runs.
What is a screen printing transfer?
It's a ready-to-press print on a carrier film — your design screen-printed in real inks, finished and waiting for a heat press. You get the rich colour and durability of screen printing without running a print line yourself.
Own a press? Order the transfers on their own and apply them whenever you like — onto whatever garment you stock, in whatever quantity you need.
Position, press, peel
Works with any heat press — no screens, no setup and no curing line on your side. The hard part is already done.
Why printers choose it
The transfer we reach for when the result has to look sharp and survive years of wear.
Best value at scale
An excellent price-to-quality ratio — especially on larger and repeat runs.
True Pantone colours
Colours defined in Pantone, plus fluorescent and metallic special effects.
Built to last
A high ink deposit means the print shrugs off mechanical wear, wash after wash.
Easy to apply
Press-ready film: position, press and peel with any heat press — no setup on your side.
The honest picture
Where screen printing transfer shines — and the few trade-offs worth knowing before you order.
Advantages
- Vivid, accurate colour
- Pantone-matched spot colours, with metallic, fluorescent and even raised 3D effects on top.
- Long-lasting
- A high ink deposit survives years of washing and wear — at least 30 washes, depending on type.
- Great value per piece
- An excellent price-to-quality ratio versus DTF — and the more you order, the better it gets.
- Easy to press
- Apply with any heat press: position, press, peel. No screens or curing line needed on your side.
Good to know
- Softness
- A transfer needs textile adhesive as well as ink, so it's a touch less soft than direct screen printing. We offer many types, but none fully match the hand-feel of direct print.
- Texture
- Unlike direct printing, a transfer can't fully carry the textile's texture through into the print.
- Ironing resistance
- You can't iron directly over the print — that's only possible with water-based or silicone direct printing.

How to press it
We screen-print and finish each transfer; you press it onto your textiles whenever you're ready — no minimums on your side, no waste.
1. We print your transfer
Each colour is pushed through a stencil onto a coated sheet and fixed in a drying tunnel — then shipped to you ready to press.
2. You press it on
Position the transfer and press it onto your textile with even, full-surface heat.
3. You peel the film
Peel away the carrier film, leaving only your crisp, vivid print behind.
4. You lock it in
A second press boosts wash fastness and durability for years of use.

Frequently asked questions
The process is very similar to classic screen printing. It starts with creating a stencil using a UV-photosensitive emulsion, through which colour is applied onto a coated polyester sheet. Each colour is fixed in a drying tunnel. After the final colour, textile adhesive is applied and final fixation takes place. The transfer is then ready to apply to textiles.
We apply our transfers on industrial membrane presses, which ensure even pressing across the whole surface. After pressing, we peel off the transfer film and re-press the print to increase its durability and fastness.
Lifespan depends on the chosen transfer type. The most basic type lasts at least 30 washes at 40 °C, though slight cracks may appear. If you need highly durable heat transfers, contact us and we'll choose the right type for your needs.
It depends on the dryer. Cheaper dryers blow air that's too hot into the drum, causing irreversible damage to the print. More expensive dryers usually don't have this problem. In general we don't recommend tumble-drying printed textiles, as drying also damages the textile itself.
No, the iron would damage the print. We recommend ironing from the reverse side. If you need a directly-ironable print, we recommend direct water-based printing or sublimation.
Yes — many customers order transfers from us, which we ship to them, and press them themselves.
Yes. Customers with smaller runs and specific placement requirements can order a transfer and press it at our premises — so they don't have to invest in presses and accessories. For 12 € excl. VAT per hour you can use our presses, with full servicing included.
The final price depends on the textile type, print placement and whether it's a repeat order with pre-made transfers or a one-off. The rough pressing price range is from 0.17 € to 1.80 € excl. VAT per print.
We currently price every order individually. To find out the price, create an order online or contact us via the contact form.
A screen-printing heat transfer provides much higher quality. Its disadvantages are a higher price for small quantities and colour limitations (price rises with the number of colours). Its advantages are a higher ink deposit — so mechanical wear has less impact — and the option to produce a specific transfer type. A DTF transfer combines one colour and one adhesive, covering a wide range of textiles, but it's unusable on specific materials such as umbrellas.
Dye migration is when the garment's own dye seeps into the pressed print and tints it — typically a white print on a red jersey slowly turns pink. Polyester is coloured with disperse dyes that activate above roughly 130 °C, when the fibres release them to the surface. Transfers are pressed hotter than that, so on coloured polyester the effect can't be avoided — but it can be blocked with an antimigration (blocker) layer printed under your colours.
Risk by material:
- Softshell — the highest-risk fabric. Microfibres have a huge surface area and elastane fibres don't hold their dye even at normal press temperature. Speckled, mould-like stains appear in the print within days.
- Sports jerseys and performance tees — usually sublimation-dyed, with loose pigment sitting right on the fibre surface. Discolouration shows fastest — within hours to days, often straight after pressing.
- Reflective vests and jackets (hi-vis) — fluorescent dyes are particularly strong migrators; light print areas quickly tint yellow or orange.
- Regular dyed polyester (fleece, windbreakers, winter jackets, backpacks) — disperse pigments are larger and migrate more slowly; tinting shows over a few weeks.
- White polyester and cotton — safe. White textiles carry no dye to migrate, and cotton isn't dyed with disperse dyes at all.
The antimigration layer works like a sponge — it traps the released dye before it reaches your colours. We recommend it on any coloured polyester, including light shades. On white textiles and cotton it's unnecessary. If you're unsure about a material, send us a sample and we'll test it. See also which textiles suit DTF.
Yes — in screen printing, colours are most often defined as Pantone.
Yes. When producing transfers we can use special inks such as fluorescent or metallic. We can also produce a 3D transfer combining additional effects.
