The majority of garment films available to customers will heat apply to common fabrics such as cotton, polyester and poly cotton  without any issues.

I often receive calls from customers who are having issues after pressing their transfers. One of the main problems is an adhesive outline around the logo, which is caused by too much pressure on the heatpress.

The most common software is Corel Draw, with most customers saying the same thing - that they buy this software based on its price. This design package is excellent and has a whole host of design features suitable for creating your vectored artwork for cutting and printing.

Some of the most common garments to be used with the heatseal process are sportswear. A wide variety of fabrics exist in this category, such as cotton, polyester, polyamide and nylon.

There are always daily problems that garment decorators come up against, but for the majority there are easy solutions.

If there are two fabrics that customers need help with they are nylon and fleece and questions often arise about what products you can use and how to go about pressing onto these types of fabrics.
