Whether you want to add foil to your current heat printing services or take it to the next level and expand into multicolor or mixed media applications, a new video from Stahls’ TV has the info you need to succeed. Following a review of the fundamental principles of using heat transfer foil with a walk-through of the process, this archived recording of a recent live class explores a range of basic to advanced applications.

Step-by-step demonstrations include one-color foil printing; applying a left-chest foil print to a tri-blend; creating multicolor foil finishes, including distressed and predictable patterns; using a nonstick cover sheet as a blockout to produce a pattern; foiling oversize garments and more.

You’ll learn how to do multicolor foil printing both for discrete graphic elements and for artwork where the foil is integrated into the design. The video also discusses the ins and outs of mixing various types of transfer media, such as flock.

The demos are packed with tips and techniques for using foil on various fabrics and garment styles. Other information addresses  artwork, design placement, material print order, pressing and peeling to maximize quality and production flow.

There’s even a cost comparison of foil vs. nonfoil printing and profits, along with marketing and sales tips. See the Stahls’ TV video “Heat Transfer Foil—A Guide to Success” at goo.gl/3LJw5Q.  MORE INFO
