5.4 Powder Application and Curing
Immediately after printing, evenly apply the hot melt adhesive powder over the wet ink on the film. Gently shake off any excess powder. Cure the film using a heat press or curing oven according to the powder manufacturer's instructions. This melts the adhesive powder onto the ink, preparing it for transfer.
5.5 열전달
Once cured, the film is ready for heat transfer. Place the film onto your desired garment (T-shirt, hoodie, etc.) and apply heat and pressure using a heat press. Follow the specific temperature, time, and pressure settings recommended for your film and garment type. After pressing, peel the film (hot or cold peel, depending on film type) to reveal the transferred design.
