Advantages and disadvantages of Heat Transfer Printing

Advantage:

Ability to achieve high-resolution patterns on different types of materials, suitable for detailed designs.
The production process is relatively simple, suitable for small batch customized production.
Partial heat transfer printing can be achieved, and only the required areas are decorated.

Disadvantages:

The durability is lower than silk screen and water transfer printing, and the graphics may wear out with time and use.
For some specialty materials, thermal transfer printing may require additional preprocessing steps.
Not very suitable for large area printing.
