am trying to press a plastisol transfer of a logo design above the bottom seams on the sleeve of a short sleeve shirt. the logo design was ganged on the sheet of transfers along with another design of the same color. pressed the other design above the pocket with no problems, very opaque gold ink on black tee. trying to press the gold on the sleeve however (centered, so there is the vertical seam running up the back half of the sleeve) the transfer doesn't 'lay down' as opaque. i think it's because of the interference with that back seam. do they make teflon pillows this size, to fit in the sleeve? or do i need to forego all this mess and just get a cap press? -thanks.

If you have a mouse pad you can trim it size to put inside the sleeve as a cushion.

Stahls sells teflon pillow. That is what I use.

just wanted to say thanks. ed-proworlded used the mousepad idea and it worked great. i think that and the fact that placing the pad in the sleeve raised the shirt to give it more pressure helped as well. thanks again!
