Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Yes, no problem with applying heat transfers to bamboo. If you're using 100%, be careful not to scorch it but blended should not be easy to scorch.
I've attached a picture of a transfer that Mark (DAGuide) from the Paper Ranch heat pressed onto a green, 100% bamboo swatch. He did this during this year's June Printwear Show in Charlotte, NC.
The bamboo swatch is wrinkled because I've washed it and haven't ironed it. However, the transfer still held it's color very well. Looks pretty much the same as the day he did it.
I use my dtg on bamboo and the results have been amazing, I would think you could do transfers also as I use the heat press to cure the ink on my shirts and dont have any problem with it.

What transfer are the lightest weight to keep the bamboo from gaining too much weight. We are printing bandanas and woudl love for them to stay light and breathable.
The lightest weight ones would be the papers for light garments, their the softest hand, Opaque for darks are pretty thick ... I dont use these often but have tried JPSS and Paropy(from Joto Papers) for lights and am pretty happy with the results ...this forum is full of opinions on different papers..if you search.
Have fun.
