Summary

During this wildcard week, I explored heat press, a digital fabrication method that uses heat and pressure to transfer designs into materials. For my project, I created a custom design and applied it into a T-shirt using a heat press machine. This project helped me gain experience in design preparation and operating heat press equipment

For design

For my project, I downloaded an image from pinterest This is the link I used to download the picture from pinterest link of photo and traced it in Coreldraw to create a vector design that would be easier to print using DTF printing. After preparing the design, I applied it into a T-shirt using a heat press machine

I started by importing the photo I downloaded from Pinterest into Coreldraw and traced the image to create a vector design for printing on transfer paper using a DTF printer

And set the design size to 20 cm in width because I am going to use it for an XL T-shirt.

And save it as a PDF file
