2. Heat press printing method
Heat press printing or HPP involves the use of special material called the transfer paper on which a design is printed. The process is actually quite simple; the paper with the design is placed where you want your print. Follow this article to know the details of printing heat transfer paper.
A prescribed amount of heat and pressure is applied on top of the paper causing the dye to transfer onto the fabric when it softens though not into a liquid but more into a kind of thick paste that absorbs into the fabric. The transfer paper is then lifted leaving behind the print.
Advantages:
The print is relatively durable and looks great on fabrics on the lighter side of the spectrum.
The technology is easily available and affordable for both domestic and commercial use. It is particularly ideal in this context for large scale production of fabrics including t-shirts.
There is a variety of transfer papers that allow for both domestic printing using an iron box to mass production using a heat press machine.
It is definitely not messy given you will not be dealing with liquid ink.
It does not require a lot of space to do your printing.
