Re: 100% cotton or cotton and polyester ? which is better for heat press We use both, it depends on the customer. PersonallyI prefer 100% cotton.

Re: 100% cotton or cotton and polyester ? which is better for heat press I like 50/50 for vinyl applications. I can use either for plastisol transfers but 50/50 doesnt wrinkle out of the dryer.

Re: 100% cotton or cotton and polyester ? which is better for heat press For transfers 50/50 works best. but it's always better to screen on 100% cotton than transfer
