I have just used light transfer paper that has a weedable backing. Might want to give that a try first.

Question re. hot melt adhesive film for foil application to garment
1 - 20 of 36 Posts
I have not used this transfer paper yet,, but I am expiermenting with foil right now,,
I believe the object,,, of the transfer paper being printed and then foil overlay, is having ink behind it,,
foil is thin,, foil will crack and fail over time, when you have ink under it, the shirt will still look great.
If you do just the adheasive when it cracks,, there will be no image under it,, to conceal and let the shirt still look good,
Usually foils are applied over screenprinting,, plastisol prints,, which it adheres too.
I will try the ink jet paper and see how it works ,, here are some pics of screened adheasive and then foil over the cured adheasive,,

I tried this with light transfer paper (TTC 3.1 from MagicTouch).
I'm not sure why or how, but it's not come out properly. The area with toner has covered well but there's lots of residue too... any ideas what went wrong?
There's also been some adv with the company in China i'm speaking to, they are sending me some samples to test.
The material is a 2 layer adhesive film. Communication between us is slightly confusing but it seems the 2nd layer is a double sided heat activated adhesive and the 1st layer is a carrier.
They also confirmed it is the same material that is used in embroidery as the bonding agent when applying pre-made badges, works with both woven and non-woven materials that include leather etc.
The only set back is the MOQ, the material size is 60cm x 91m x 1mm (pretty much the size of a standard vinyl roll for wide format cutters). They require a minimum 300 rolls.
I'm unsure of the exact price per roll but it would look to be somewhere around £25, not bad at all considering it's 91 metres! equivilant to £0.04p per square metre cost.
Would anyone in the UK be interested in this product?

Using the Image Jet Lite/red grid paper...
Do you print & cut the image, press and then foil?
Or just cut the image(no ink involved), press and then press foil?
Here is a video of a hot melt adhesive film from a company in Canada.

It looks really cool.
I wonder if it really works?
Here is what I have learned
When i screen foil adheasive to a garment i am screening a plastisol adheasive.
ok So most premade transers from Like Ed at Pro World sell plastisol transfers,,, right
ok so why cant i take a simple plastisol transfer press it, and then apply foil and press,,,,
guess what you can,,,,,,, woohoooooo
It works like a dream,, anywhere the transfer is on your garment or bag,, will get foiled if you set the foil over,,,
so if you dont want a full foiled look cut up pieces where you do want it,, and put it on the shirt,,
try it,,,
here are some pics,,
most of us screen printers print under the foils, as the foil will peel over a period of time,,,
but if you have print or something under it ,, it looks almost vintage,,,
Do not put foil products in a hot dryer, the color will turn,,,,

Looks cool.
I had never thought of foiling over plas-transfers.
Thanks for the info.
What I would like to try is some of the "cut-able" hot melt adhesive paper...like in the video above.
So I can create my own images and cut them easily on my cutter.
(It looks cool and I would like to see if it will work)
