IV. Technical Workflow: UV TPU Heat Transfer Solution

Step 1: Artwork Preparation

Utilize professional design software to create high-resolution logos. Supports CMYK, White, and Varnish (Spot UV) modes to reproduce ultra-fine lines and smooth color gradients.

Step 2: Direct UV Printing

Place the TPU film on the platform. The UV ink cures instantly under specialized LED-UV lights, ensuring zero waiting time and excellent adhesion.

Note: Specialized flexible UV inks are mandatory to prevent cracking when the garment is flexed.

Step 3: Heat Transfer Integration

Transfer the printed TPU film onto the fabric using a heat press machine (approx. 150-160°C for 15-20 seconds). The TPU bond is industrial-strength and permanent.

Step 4: Finished Product

Peel away the carrier film to reveal a 3D embossed logo with vibrant colors, a soft flexible touch, and a premium finish.
