Has anyone ever applied inkjet , laserjet, or plastisol transfers to burlap via heat press? Is it even possible? I know most burlap manufacturers print by using some sort of plate but i'm looking for a solution I can do in house in small quantities.
You can press the burlap.I'm just looking to add some character to drawstring shoe bags
My experience and suggestion was related to inkjet and laser transfer. Follow standard temp and time for your brand of transfer.Any suggestions on type of transfer? Plastisol or Inkjet? Have you done it before? If so, what temp & length of time? I realize I need to experiment myself, I just want to start with somewhat of an idea.
Thanks for that info, it's amazing that this thread was posted as I JUST purchased some burlap fabric, and was interested in pressing on it, but wasn't sure if it was possible with a heat press. Now when you say mist the fabric...this is while the transfer is on top? Or prior to placing the transfer image sheet??You can press the burlap.
If you are not getting a good release, try misting the material with water from a sprayer right before you press. This can help the heat transfer penetrate.

no problem. ok I did two tests, one on canvas material (specifically duck cloth) and the other on burlap. I noticed on the burlap material once it was pressed the material almost "meshed" togetherTasha can you take some pics so every one can see what they look like please!
I really like the look of the canvas, I am planning on using that material for some hangtagsfor the type of material I think the look good for using transfer paper on them.
It was JPSSTasha could you let us know what type of transfer paper it was thanks.
Hey David,Ok thanks I am going to get some canvas and try it .
