Check out our art specification above for more information on this. We prefer vector PDF, but we can accept other files if they are prepared correctly. For best results, use our downloadable templates, also found above, and follow the instructions contained in them.

Supacolor’s default print process is CMYK (actually, we run a six-color process that gives Supacolor transfers more range in the color spectrum). We have the ability to Pantone (PMS) color match. All you need to do is indicate the colors in your order. We do not print RGB files.

Follow our art specifications as best as you can. If you are still not sure, submit your order to us anyways. We will review your order and notify you if there are any issues. HeatPressNation and Supacolor will work with you to make sure that we help you print the best transfers possible.

Supacolor does not provide art proofs as a part of its ordering process. Our goal is to produce your Supacolor as quickly as possible. Our process is very accurate. As long as you upload great artwork, we’ll make great transfers.

Supacolor is available for purchase through the HeatPressNation website. Customers are asked to enter the orders online to expedite the processing of the job and to minimize mistakes.

Supacolor is priced based on transfer type, size and quantity.

• Step 1: Choose the transfer that works best for the fabric you want to print on.

Yes. To print one transfer with multiple designs, or a single design needed in more than one size, select our Supagang [SG] transfer type.

We have taken the complexity out of ordering heat transfers: no more calculations, hidden fees or rush charges. Like most other HeatPressNation products, Supacolor custom transfers have FREE ground shipping.

You will need to know what fabric you will be printing on to determine which Supacolor transfer (Wearable, Blocker, Soft Shell Blocker, Promotional) you should order. We will also need to know the color of the fabric. If you do not know the exact color, you can tell us if it is a light or dark colored fabric.

The minimum order quantity is 10 pieces per design. You cannot split the minimum between multiple designs or accommodate more than one design within a print area.

You can print unlimited colors and gradients with Supacolor. We do not charge by the color. The price is the same whether you print one color or a million.

Supacolor is a professional-grade heat transfer that is designed to work with heat presses that clamp down to provide pressure. Our transfers can work with both an air operated heat press or a manual heat press.

Important: Supacolor is not designed to be pressed with a domestic iron.

Pressing instructions can be found in the Instructions tab in each Supacolor transfers respective product description.

Not all heat presses are created equal!

If you are using a Manual Press and are having issues they may be due to insufficient pressure. Pressure should be firm to very firm pressure. The trick is to find the firmest pressure without the possibility of damaging the fabric. Each press is unique!

Test with our sample kit (or extras that come with regular orders) to find your sweet spot.

Much less frequent are problems are related to heat or timing.
