The Rise of Jumbo Prints
Jumbo prints have taken the clothing industry by storm over the past two years, especially in the streetwear segment. These oversized graphics are all about making bold statements, whether it’s showcasing impressive artwork, collaborations, or unique designs. SupaDTF is the perfect solution for achieving these standout prints with ease and quality.
Getting Started: What You Need
For this tutorial, SupaSerg uses a heavyweight cotton streetwear style shirt and a jumbo SupaDTF transfer. One crucial tool he highlights is heat tape, essential for keeping the transfer in place without leaving residue, even at high temperatures.
Pre-Pressing the Garment
Before applying the transfer, SupaSerg pre-presses the shirt to remove moisture and ensure a smooth print surface. This step is vital for proper adhesion and helps eliminate any wrinkles or creases that could affect the final print.
Placing and Securing the Transfer
After pre-pressing, it’s time to place the transfer. SupaSerg emphasizes the importance of perfect placement, ensuring even margins on all sides. Using heat tape, he secures the transfer at the top and bottom and at the corners to keep it stable during the pressing process.
Pressing in Sections
Given the large size of jumbo transfers, they often exceed the dimensions of standard heat presses. SupaSerg demonstrates how to press the transfer in sections. For example, with a 22x24 sheet and a smaller heat press, he presses one section at a time. After pressing the first half, he carefully peels only the pressed area before repositioning the transfer to press the remaining sections.
Achieving the Perfect Press
SupaSerg uses a heat press set at 320°F for 15 seconds with heavy pressure. He highlights the importance of ensuring seams hang off the sides to avoid uneven pressing. This meticulous approach guarantees a flawless finish and proper adhesion of the SupaDTF transfer.
The Final Result
The outcome is a vibrant, high-quality jumbo print that perfectly captures the bold streetwear aesthetic. SupaSerg’s methodical approach, combined with the superior quality of SupaDTF transfers, makes it easy to achieve professional results that stand out in any collection.
