Heat transfer onto leather.

[Bly]

I have some friends who make and sell leather motorcycle gear.

They have bought a cutter and heat press but have no clue about using the right film for leather.

Does anyone have experience or knowledge on a product that works well?
Printable or coloured film.

Thanks in advance.

I can't help with you the printable kinds as when I do full color it is usually embroidery.

But for your items such as cut vinyl, I know you'll need to use the "heat sensitive" types. Leather (like Nylon etc) don't tend to like the higher Heat/Time/Duration settings that you have for your regular shirt vinyl. I tend to like Thermoflex, but I know quite a few people that like Siser for their heat transfer vinyl.

I do think Siser's vinyl is already low enough on the temps that they can be put on leather, but you might want to confirm that. I know with Thermoflex you have to get a specialty one for your nylons and leathers. I would also do two pressings per application as that does give a better "hold" on to the substrate then just one. Especially when you are talking about something that is porous like leather.

Are you looking for a single color or solvent printable material? Either way, I can help just let me know and I'd be happy to send some samples.
