Matt / gloss heat transfers

Combination of Matte and Glossy Heat Transfer

The principal method to create these transfers is based on a glossy silicone varnish and our water-based inks.

  • Print the glossy design on a matte polyester foil using our glossy silicone varnish 514.840LV
  • The glossy silicone layer should remain adhered to the polyester foil during the transfer process.
  • The dried silicone surface acts as a glossy release layer
  • After printing and drying the silicone varnish, it is necessary to use a water-based primer, SEBATRANS 111.840V8  This step is crucial because directly overprinting the silicone varnish with water-based colors is extremely difficult without a primer.
  • On top of the primer 111.840V8, we recommend printing further with SEBATRANS NC inks + adhesive to finish the transfer.
