 With this method, a full color image is printed
on a digital color laser printer using a special transfer paper. The image
is then transferred to the product (substrate) using a heat press. For some
products (bookmarks, buttons, magnets, luggage tags, name tags), the product
may be laminated instead.
The Digital Heat Transfer process is most economical for small runs and is
the most accurate process to produce a photograph. Although it is not the
quality of screen printing, it may be a more popular alternative depending
on customer requirements.

General Pros/Cons
Great full color and photographic reproduction, often lower
in cost than dye sublimation.
Works well on t-shirts, but may fade somewhat on the shirt
(you can diminish this by washing inside out in cold/warm water - dry on
low). The "photo" t-shirts you buy in the Mall often use this process.
