Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I would like to know if anyone is familiar with the use of flocking (heat transfer) in the T-shirt industry. Basically I'd like to know how much to charge for flocking services. Thankyou for any help in this matter.

for Volume Flock Transfers perhaps consider Screen Printed Flock Transfers. No weeding involved and it may also work out less $$$$.
The Flock is almost the same as "Todays Roll Flock". Basically they are screen printed transfers. A special adhesive similar to what comes in Roll Flock is screen printed on the flock material, so that when you heat press the design on the shirt only where the Adhesive was screened that is what bonds to the shirt. This means you may get away with more detail graphics in your designs too.
Flock is pulverized fibers applied to paper to produce a texturized pattern. It is transferred to apparel via heat transfer process. The designs can be intricate, but the simpler the design the easier the cutting. The finished product has a cloth (Velvety) feel to it.
Best regards,
Flockmaster
Just cut plottet 40 left breast designs in grey flock letters around 10mm had to put pressure of blade to 125 with a flock blade - pain in the backside to weed and took me over 2 hours - got to get your pressure just right on press - too heavy and it beds the flock in to the glue too light and they don't stick - Job looked good when it was done but time consuming over working with normal flex.
