What is a Blanket Transfer?

A blanket transfer is a specialized tool used in printmaking and textile applications. It serves as a medium that allows designs to be transferred onto fabrics through heat and pressure. By using a transfer blanket, you can achieve vibrant colors and sharp details, making it a favorite choice among professionals. It is designed to withstand high temperatures, ensuring durability during multiple uses. Because of its effectiveness, many businesses rely on blanket transfers for their printing processes.

How Blanket Transfers Work

Blanket transfers work by utilizing heat from a heat press to transfer designs from a carrier paper onto fabric. The blanket itself provides a cushioned effect, which helps in evenly distributing pressure during the transfer process. This ensures that the entire design adheres properly and reduces the chances of imperfections. So, when you pick a high-quality blanket transfer, you can trust that it will deliver exceptional results time after time.

Choosing the Right Blanket Transfer

When selecting a blanket transfer, consider the type of fabrics you will be using. Different materials may require specific temperatures and pressures for optimal transfer results. It's crucial to choose a transfer blanket that is compatible with your heat transfer project. Additionally, check the thickness and material of the blanket, as these factors can affect the quality of the final print. This careful selection process ensures that you achieve the best possible outcomes for your custom designs.
