Vinyl transfers can be made by using a special heat transfer vinyl and a  vinyl plotter. The plotter cuts out the heat transfer vinyl, the background of the vinyl is peeled, and the vinyl is transferred onto a shirt using a heat press.  Vinyl transfers are great for custom shirts, names, and numbers and will work on light AND dark shirts. 4. Sublimation Heat Transfers. Sublimation transfers are printed by using an Epson Sublimation Printer and a special sublimation ink.  A sublimation ink actually turns into a gas under a heat press. Sublimation can only occur on polyester fabric or polyester coated items.  The polymer opens under heat and receives the gas, as soon as heat is released, sublimation is complete and the ink is permanently impressed on the item.
