Deliver a premium, eco-friendly product with our water based transfers, offering an incredibly soft hand feel that is perfect for sustainable fashion brands.
These high-quality transfers are printed with water-based inks that provide intense colors, excellent opacity, and a professional appearance even on dark textiles. One of the greatest advantages of water-based inks is their ecological acceptability. No harmful chemical agents are used during the printing process. This means:
Water based transfer is an excellent choice for companies that want to combine quality with environmental responsibility.
Despite being water-based, the inks are exceptionally vibrant and highly opaque – even on dark materials. The print appears strong, high-contrast, and visually refined. An additional blocker layer can be applied upon request to prevent pigment migration from polyester fabrics (for example, softshell materials) into the transfer.
Another advantage of these transfers is the lower application temperature, between 145 °C and 160 °C. This makes them particularly suitable for printing on more sensitive and technically demanding materials that do not tolerate high temperatures well. Lower temperature means:
Water based transfer is suitable for printing on:
Transfer parameters:
Water based transfer combines sustainability, technical precision, and premium visual impact – without compromise.
Choosing the right heat transfer solution depends on the material, production process, and desired finish. Our team provides expert technical guidance to help you select the most suitable transfer technology for your application.

Absolutely. Their non-toxic, chemical-free formulation makes them the safest choice for infant apparel and children’s wear.
Water-based transfers can be applied at lower temperatures, typically between 145 °C and 160 °C, which reduces stress on the fabric and makes them suitable for more delicate or technical materials.
Yes, we use a specialized eco-friendly white underbase that guarantees bright, opaque colors even on dark garments.
Most premium water-based transfers are cool peel or warm peel to ensure the delicate eco-ink settles perfectly into the fabric.
Wash inside out on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid harsh bleaches and tumble drying.
Sustainable brands choose water-based transfers because they eliminate harmful PVCs and plastics, utilizing eco-friendly pigments that meet strict environmental compliance while maintaining premium retail quality.
They can be used on a wide variety of textiles, including cotton, cotton blends, polyester, and many other fabric types.
Traditional plastisol contains PVC resins and plasticizers which require chemical solvents to clean. Water-based transfers use natural solvents (water), drastically reducing toxic runoff, carbon footprint, and workplace hazards.
Water-based transfers combine sustainability, high print quality, excellent coverage, and lower transfer temperatures, making them a versatile and responsible choice for modern textile printing.
