Heat Transfer Material for Fabrics Guide

Choosing the right Heat Transfer Material is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your business.  Knowing which materials will work on the fabrics you are applying to is just as important. 

I’ve created a chart to help you determine what fabrics our various Spectra Heat Transfer Materials are made for.  I also added the file below into the Box on the left toolbar.  Different screen resolutions may make this appear differently then it should.

  2. Good question Ernesto. There are a few differences in the materials. For starters, the Eco-Film is a bit thinner than the Spectra Cut, giving it a softer hand and making it light weight. Eco-Film is also a better option for multi-color applications because of the ease of use, flexible application instructions and the ability to hot peel (time saving). The 60 colors that are available in Eco-Film are unmatched.

    Spectra Cut is a fine alternative for a less expensive material option. As long as you are ok with a bit of a thicker transfer (not always a bad thing), cold peel and a few other things that keep it from being quite as good of a material, the Spectra Cut will work fine.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
