In this blog, Rum from Supacolor and Wyatt from AS Colour team up to show you how to create stunning printed caps using AS Colour Surf Caps and Supacolor Headwear transfers. Let's dive into their expert tutorial.
Introducing AS Colour Surf Caps
Wyatt introduces the AS Colour Surf Cap, a 100% nylon unstructured five-panel cap known for its versatility and moisture resistance. Designed for various lifestyles from casual wear to outdoor activities like boating and fishing, this cap has a unique mesh liner visor that enhances its aesthetic appeal while maintaining a comfortable fit.
Choosing and Preparing Designs
Rum discusses the collaboration with graphic designer John Bannon to create captivating designs like "Support Your Local Print Shop." These designs are perfect for showcasing the capabilities of Supacolor transfers on AS Colour's Surf Caps.
Setting Up Your Heat Press
Rum sets the heat press to 300°F and adjusts the pressure to medium. He emphasizes the importance of using even pressure and avoiding contact between the cap's lid and the press's top to prevent marks.
Applying Supacolor Headwear Transfers
For the first cap, they choose a white design with orange accents, perfectly complementing the black Surf Cap. Rum demonstrates finding the transfer's midpoint using Supacolor's trimmed edges and aligns it with AS Colour's helpful center seam marker on the cap.
Pressing the Caps
After aligning the design, Rum presses the cap for about 10 seconds at 300°F. He showcases Supacolor's quick and easy peel-off process, ensuring a smooth application without any post-press adjustments needed.
Printing on Different AS Colour Caps
Moving on to a black Surf Cap with a vibrant orange design, they discuss color theory and complementary color choices. Wyatt assists in adjusting the cap on the press to ensure a tight fit and optimal transfer application over the cap's seam.
Exploring Other AS Colour Caps
They highlight the versatility of Supacolor Headwear transfers by switching to AS Colour's Nylon Icon Cap. This cap features a special seam that Supacolor transfers are designed to adhere to seamlessly, ensuring durability and longevity of the print.
Creating professionally printed caps with AS Colour Surf Caps and Supacolor Headwear transfers is both straightforward and rewarding. Whether for promotional purposes or personal style statements, Supacolor's reliability and AS Colour's quality caps make for a winning combination in custom apparel.
