Default Heat transfer on towels

Can you use a heat transfer on terrycloth towels?

are they digital transfers ? if so they may not work due to the fabric un-even density.

Material transfers that would glue them selfs to the fabric may work.

Conde has towels with a poly area for dye sub. They are nice towels, but only a small strip is printable.

We have a couple customers who print the microfiber towels for bowling teams. I have not seen the finished product personally, but pics sent to me show pretty good results.

I ask that our customer give us a fabric sample when it comes to odd things like this. I mean, not that bowling items are odd, but the fabric you're transfering to is.

I would ask for a sample towel to test, first.

Side note.

I've seen terry towels printed with the Brother DTG. It wasn't to bad. Texture will always be an issue. The design looks better if it has fewer moving parts...er... not as detailed.

I got a towell that was screened and after a few washes it began to fade. The design is now completely gone. My point is check for durability before you market your product.

Default Re: Heat transfer on towels

I just received from Best Blanks, a Teflon Pad protector and it was all crumbled up. I called them to report this and all I got from them was there was no way that it can be shipped flat without crinkles in it. They rolled it up and it looks like the pad went through the war. Said there was nothing they could do about it and won't help me.

1. Is this normal to receive a pad like this - and -
2. Will all these crinkles affect my clothing/heat transfer quality look?

Help,
Kathleen
