There are several methods for adding them
to transfers, depending on the type of transfer and the type of powder.
Finely ground adhesive powders can be mixed with the ink before
printing, generally 10-15% powder by weight. This is the usual method
with puff transfers and for transfers which will be foiled.
More often
the adhesive powder is applied to the surface of the transfer after
printing. The most common is to
fill a box large enough to hold a transfer with adhesive powder an inch
or so deep.
After printing the transfer, pass the paper through the box,
scooping it under the powder in such a manner that the entire printed
surface of the transfer is covered with the adhesive powder. Shake the
excess powder back into the box as you lift the transfer out, then gel
the transfer.
You can also fill a large salt shaker with adhesive powder
and shake it onto the transfer, coating the ink thoroughly. Remember to
shake the excess powder off the transfer back into a box for re-use
before passing the transfer through the dryer.
