Our range of transfer paper for screen printing is aimed at graphic workshops that produce transfers by industrial screen printing and/or in combination with offset printing.
It is a range of siliconised or plastic paper substrates that can be printed by screen printing and offset with different types of inks: plastisol, vellic, polyurethane, acrylic, grease, etc., water-based or solvent-based.
Once the transfer is finished, the textile garment is decorated with a heat press. The type of paper, combined with the special inks, allows the hot peel or cool peel to obtain different ink finishes: gloss, matt, satin or embossing. Types of transfer systems:
HOT PEEL TRANSFER
Use Texopaque OP ink (optionally you can add 3-5% of the expandable base OP417) with 21-62 mesh (or up to 120 mesh if a white ink or adhesive base is applied afterwards).
Cure until dry to touch. Approximately over 110°C for 15-30 seconds depending on the heat source.
If dilution is necessary use up to 5% Flow Thinner OP591.
Recommended transfer paper Transfer Paper C (PT603)
180-190 ° C, 10-15 seconds, high pressure,
When using an adhesive, 160-180 ° C is recommended.
Important: peel off the paper while the transfer is hot.
OP451 White and OP452 Clear adhesives can be used to overprint Texopaque OP to give better adhesion to synthetic fabrics or to reduce the transfer temperature to 160-180 ° C.Maximum adhesion on synthetic garments can be achieved using PT 605 (Powder-T Adhesive). To use this process, print the plastisol ink as recommended, dust the back of the wet ink with the adhesive powder before curing. Vacuum/shake to remove excess.
Due to the variable nature of synthetic coatings, prints should be fully tested for suitability before starting production.
A flatbed transfer press is recommended. It is important to avoid excessive curing, especially with multicolours, as adhesion and transfer properties may be affected.
COLD PEEL TRANSFER
Use Texopaque OP ink with mesh 21-62 (or up to 120 if an ink or adhesive white primer is applied afterwards).
Cure until dry to touch. Approximately over 110º C for 15-30 seconds depending on the heat source.
If dilution is necessary use up to 5% Flow Thinner OP591.
Recommended transfer paper Transfer Paper B (PT615)
180-190 ° C, 10-15 seconds, high pressure,
When using an adhesive, 160-180 ° C is recommended.
Important: peel off the paper once it has cooled down.

XTA05 Adhesive Transparent room temperature or forced air drying. Designed for overprinting solvent based inks such as PY or NB.It is suggested to apply with 21 to 43 thread mesh.Drying at room temperature (24 hours) or with hot air from Jet or IR up to 80º.
Transfer to the substrate is recommended between 180 to 200º C between 15-20 seconds, with high pressure flat bed transfer plates (60 psi).
Compatibility testing is recommended in all scenarios, especially when working with synthetic garments.
There are papers of different weights to provide dimensional stability while printing different colours on the machine and also with different chemical silicone treatments, seeking a balance between the correct fixation of the ink to the paper during the process and the good final transfer to the fabric.
The usual presentation of this material is in sheets of 1000 x 700 mm. Although we can supply it in other formats on request.
This type of paper has a finish that retains some of the ink on the substrate if it is removed at high temperature. When this ink film is laminated, the remaining ink film on the garment has a non-glossy appearance.
For these cases it is recommended to use a polyester transfer paper. As it is a film, it is more dimensionally stable and is not affected by heat or humidity. This allows better centring of the printed colours.
Yes, we have a special paper to work with water-based or solvent-based inks that dry at room temperature or with hot air. There are also adhesives that do not require heat to be fixed to the paper.
Yes, we have paper and polyester to produce transfers combined with other printing techniques.
