Our advanced Vinyl Cutting Workshop explored using multiple colours for vinyl cut decals as well as for heat transfers for clothing.
The process is all about registering the multiple colours. We created registration marks for both the decals and the heat transfers.
With the decals, the multi-colours are applied to the transfer paper first, and then the final decal with both colours (or more) is applied to the final object.
For the heat transfer, we applied masking tape to each registration mark, and then heat transfer the first colour to the fabric. Then the next layer was lined up to the registration marks and heat transferred, followed by the 3rd layer or colour. the registration marks that were attached to the fabric by the tape, was then peeled off.
