READY Textile Transfer – Your creativity tool for personalised textile prints
Would you like to embellish your clothes with unique designs and are you looking for a simple way to express your creativity on textiles? READY textile transfers offer you a wide range of options for printing personalised designs onto a wide variety of textiles. In this article, you’ll learn all about the benefits, limitations and different applications of the READY textile transfer categories: Premium, Polyester and Paper.
What is the READY textile transfer?
READY textile transfer is a modern printing process that enables you to produce professional-quality textile prints, even in small batches. You can choose from three different categories: Premium, Polyester and Paper. Each category has its own specific characteristics and areas of application to best meet your individual needs.
The benefits of the READY textile transfer
- Versatile design options: The READY textile transfer allows you to print full-colour, professional designs, including effects such as colour gradients and transparency.
- Easy to use: The transfer comes cut out on a transparent backing film (for Premium), a backing film (for polyester) or a paper backing (for paper). It is applied to the fabric simply by using a heat press.
- High-quality results: The READY Premium range delivers matt, high-quality prints, whilst the READY Polyester range produces glossy prints with a soft feel.
- Small runs: The READY textile transfer is perfect for small runs, allowing you to fulfil individual requests quickly.
- Durability: The printed designs are hard-wearing and withstand many washes without losing any quality.
The limitations of READY textile transfers
- Problems with Pantone colours: Due to the CMYK printing process, it is difficult to achieve exact Pantone colours.
- Thin lines and fonts: Very thin lines or small fonts smaller than 2 pt (1 mm) may not be clearly legible.
The areas of application for the READY textile transfer categories
READY Premium: Its matt finish and superb feel make the READY Premium textile transfer ideal for high-quality branded clothing and promotional items.
READY Polyester: Its glossy finish and supple feel make it perfect for sports and leisurewear, as well as merchandising items.
READY Paper: This cost-effective option is ideal for small runs of personalised gifts, school uniforms or special occasions.
How is the READY textile transfer carried out?
To get your own READY textile transfers, design your own custom motif in DIN A3 format and save it as a vector file. Upload your design to the YOW! shop and select the desired category and print run. The finished transfers will be dispatched within 5 working days. They are then applied to the fabric using a heat press. (In this blog post, you can find out which type of heat press is right for you!)
Pressing and washing instructions
- Pressing conditions: The optimum temperature for applying the READY textile transfer is 150 °C for 12 seconds at medium pressure. For READY paper, the transfer should be peeled off whilst cold, whilst for READY Premium and polyester, peeling off whilst warm is recommended.
- Washing instructions: To ensure the designs last as long as possible, the printed garment should be washed inside out. Spin at a maximum of 1,000 rpm and tumble dry at a moderate temperature up to a maximum of 60 °C. When ironing the inside of the garment, the temperature should not exceed 150 °C. Dry cleaning is not recommended.
