Default Printing on Plastic

I am a newbie,Any help will be greatly appreciated
what is the best Transfer paper to print on PVC substrate
material?
Can you use a sublimation transfer paper,if so which is the best one out there?
I know the best method would be to screen print directly
but the image sometimes can be so complex for a small order wondering there is a cheaper alternative to print directly on the substrate
I would really appreciate any comment or information

PVC would melt using sublimation as you have to heat press. I sublimate onto nylon bags and umbrellas. I dont know of any easier way. I would also be interested if there is.

You would need to test. Some materials like that will work, others will melt. Yet others will work
at a lower temp say 350 degrees F.

What is the name of the material?
