Roland’s polyester transfer mask, HeatSoft™ PGM-PTM, is a transfer tape for printed and cut graphics produced with HeatSoft™ ESM-HTM2 media and Eco-Sol MAX ink onto a fabric garment. The HeatSoft™ transfer mask is designed to lift the graphic from its backing liner sheet without removing ink off of the printed surface and intended to release shortly after pressing, making the process efficient and easy. The transfer mask also allows for the graphic to remain dimensionally stable, keeps separate components positioned relative to one another and acts as a protective barrier from the heat press used to affix the graphic onto the garment.

Applications:
The HeatSoft™ PGM-PTM is used to transfer a full-color printed and cut graphic on HeatSoft™ ESM-HTM2 for garment decoration. Using a t-shirt (clamshell) heat press, the product will transfer the graphic permanently to the garment employing 275º Fahrenheit (135º Celsius) for duration of 15 seconds. After allowing the graphic to cool down for 3-5 seconds, the heat transfer mask can be removed without distorting the appliqué. Depending on handling by the user, the heat transfer mask can be reused multiple times.
