Get the scoop on using heat printing to enhance design capabilities and reach new markets in Stahls’ “Project Headwear: How to Heat Press Hats” video. Beginning with a basic overview of headwear options, you’ll learn how hat construction (number of panels, seams, unstructured/structured style, etc.), fabric composition and other elements affect image area, artwork and printability.
You’ll also learn about different types of crowns, cap bills and placement areas, as well as platens and techniques for applications for bill tops and bottoms. On-press demos address creating an optimal printing surface, avoiding heat press marks, scorching, puckering and more.
Other subjects include sourcing transfers and heat and pressure considerations. You’ll even see how to achieve effects like continuing a design from the cap front to bill. Also get ideas for using specialty heat transfer materials to sell to markets from babies to performancewear.
