Abstract: A heat transfer bonding system and method of use in which heat transfers may be prepared using an interface, printed using a printer in a manner that preserves the spacing that the heat transfer is intended to have on an article to which it will be applied, and applied using a bonding system such as an automated heat press. Various aspects of the heat transfer, such as color, may be customized via the interface. Such a system may allow for the rapid application of customized heat transfers to garments in a manner that allows garment customization systems to be deployed to retail stores such that customers can prepare a customized garment while they wait.

Abstract: A digitally printed heat transfer label and method of manufacture is disclosed. The heat transfer label and method of manufacture provides a more efficient process with less waste. The method comprises providing multiple digitally printed images, each with distinct purposes and each provided in a different area on a substrate to produce a substrate which may be used to replace multiple heat transfer sheets.
