whats the difference between silicone molding heat transfer and printing thermal transfer

The traditional printing thermal transfer is mainly through the layer-by-layer printing of silicone to form the effect. The printing times of different pattern thicknesses are different. Generally, it takes more than 50 times to get the general thickness, and then you need to apply hot melt glue again. Roast dry to complete the final product.The shape of the pattern surface is limited, and the shape is single.

The silicone molding heat transfer, also named silicone In-mold transfer，silicone thermal tranfer.These two years its very popular, because it can make all kind of shapes products, it depends on the molds, one time can be shape,More three-dimensional. heating pressing production, it reduce the production process, just need put on the mold with liquid silicone and the hot melt adhesive film，then put on the hydraulic machine for pressing, finally finished the products.

Here are some samples of the silicone molding heat transfer:
