Abstract: Processes for printing designs onto sheer fabric using a heat press are disclosed herein. The processes print realistic tattoo designs that create the illusion that a wearer has a permanent tattoo on his or her skin. The processes may include printing a design on sublimation paper using dye sublimation ink, positioning the sublimation paper on a sheer fabric, and applying a high temperature, high pressure heat press to create a permanently dyed garment. The process may also include other inks such as, but not limited to, optic color ink and ultra-violet florescent ink. Additional embodiments include processes for printing images other than tattoos onto sheer fabrics, e.g., muscle definition, body paint, and branding. The products disclosed herein include hosiery and lingerie having realistic tattoo designs printed thereon.
