How Its done
An image is printed or copied onto a specially coated transfer paper. The printed paper is then placed face down on the fabric and both are placed in heat press, the fabric and transfer are pressed for appx 20sec. Both the paper and the garment are then removed from the heat press left to cool, then the paper peeled off the fabric leaving the printed image behind.
