Heat transfer is the process of applying a design onto a surface using heat and pressure. This can be done using a variety of methods including ironing on a design or using a heat press.
To make a high thickness-0.5mm silicone transfer logo, you will need to use a specialized machine called a silicone ink screen printer. This machine allows you to apply a thick layer of silicone ink onto a transfer paper that can then be applied to your desired surface.
The process for creating a silicone transfer logo is as follows:
1. Create your design using a graphic design software.
2. Use the design to create a stencil that will be used for screen printing.
3. Load the silicone ink onto the screen printer and place the transfer paper onto the machine.
4. Use the machine to apply the silicone ink onto the paper, creating a thick transfer.
5. Peel off the transfer paper and apply the transfer onto your desired surface.
6.Screen printing steps:Glue-crosslinker-clear silicone ink-color silicone ink-glossy or matte;Matte or glossy transfer paper-color silicone ink-clear silicone ink-crosslinker-glue or hot melt powder.
Please use 120 mesh,65-75° rubber squeegee,table oven or conveyer oven.
During screen printing,please touch the ink layer to check if it's surface dry.You only start new screen printing after surface dry.Othewise,the silicone logo will delaminate during wash process.
The tool for screen printing silicone ink is mesh plate,squeegee,flatbed or semi-automatic screen printing machine,conveyer oven,or dryer.When you prepare these tool well,you can make high quality heat transfers.It's superb soft hand feel.
Overall, heat transfer and silicone ink screen printing are great ways to create customized designs on a variety of surfaces. With the right equipment and materials, you can create high-quality logos and designs with ease.
