Heat TransferA means of transferring a design to a substrate using an intermediate step. In heat transfer printing, a design is printed in reverse (typically by screen printing) on a special release paper using a plastisol-based ink (or other type of sublimable dye)

Dye SublimationA dye-sublimation printer is a computer printer which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage.

Foil TransferMetallic heat transfers can also be made with a vinyl cutter and ‘T-shirt vinyl’ but the laser transfer foil process does it with self-weeding papers that make production much more efficient.
