What is White Toner Transfer?

White Toner Transfer is a very versatile way to create customized products such as T-Shirts, Workwear, Mugs, Bottles, Signs and more. With Toner Transfer the design or motif is printed with a laser printer on a sensitve coated media often called the A-Sheet or Transfer Sheet.

Laser printers use Toner which is an electromagnetic powder to create the image. Because of the characteristics of Toner it can be used in heat activated transfer.

After printing, a so called B-Sheet or Glue-Sheet is married to the A-Sheet using a heat transfer press. By heat and pressure a chemical reaction between the glue/adhesive on the B-Sheet and the Toner powder on the A-Sheet transfers the adhesive to the print.

This technology is commonly used to produce small to medium runs of T-Shirts, textiles and promotional Items. Read how Ghost White Toner Transfer work below.

1. Print a mirror image of your design

For White Toner Transfer you will print a mirror image of your design on the A-Foil, on the side with the matte finish. If you want to transfer a colored and white design, you have to print it in two steps. Firstly, insert the black toner cartridge and print all colored areas of your design. Secondly, insert the Ghost White Toner cartridge, resinsert the printed A-Foil and print all white areas of your design.

2. Connect and separate A foil and B paper

Having printed your design on the A-Foil, connect the A-Foil to the B-Paper using the heat transfer press. Preheat the press to approx.160° C (320 ° F).
Place the A-Foil on the base plate of the press with the printed side facing upwards. Cover it with the B-Paper, coated side facing downwards. Place a few sheets of copy paper on top of the B-Paper and initiate the pressing procedure. Press the A-Foil and the B-Paper together for approx. 2 minutes.

Separate the B-Paper from the A-Foil directly after the pressing procedure. They must be separated without lifting them from the heated base plate to ensure a complete transfer of the adhesive. Note that once the papers have cooled down too much they cannot be neatly separated from each other.

3. Transfer your design to fabrics etc.

Place a piece of fabric or other material of your choice on the base plate.
Position the A-Foil with your design, print facing downwards, on the fabric and cover it with a Matt Finish Paper. Press it together at 160° C (320 ° F) for approx. 30 seconds.

4. Finishing and fixing of the toner

Let the fabric cool down completely before removing the A-Foil.

After removing the A-Foil, place a sheet of Matt or Glossy Finish Paper on the fabric and press it again for 15 seconds. Thus, you fix the print to the fabric, make it resistant to washing and give it a matte finish.
