Default Using plastisol transfers with screen print

Hey everyone! I have a question that I know probably has been discussed but I can't find it. I have a fairly large job that is 5 color front full chest logo and 1 color back. My question is we are going to use plastisol transfers on the front and screen the back, should screen first ( with the possibility of offsetting) or do the transfer first? This is our first run with plastisol transfers but using them would be needed as we only have a 4 color press and I do not want to run 500 + shirts through twice and try to keep Reg. Any help or advice would be helpful. Thanks!

I would do the transfers first. Otherwise, the heat press may cause ghosting issues on the press (and then to subsequent shirts) from the back design.

Thanks Joe! I was leaning that way but wanted to get some input from some experienced screeners. Thanks again!
