Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Hi people, i was wondering how one can get the shiny gold text effect transfered onto a t-shirt. Is there a special transfer paper, or do i have to use another method of transfer?
That is either screen printed plastisol transfers or metallic vinyl.

yea actually i just bought that spectra foil....exactly how do i use it ....it would be WAAAY APPRECIATIVE if you could just give me a step by step on how to use the spectra foil (im a total newbie at heat pressing)....i actually called imprintables a few times and left my number but they have horrible customer service ..thanks so much...you would be a great help
Foil is the about the same as regular heat press vinyl. It is a little tougher to cut, you will need more down pressure on your blade. I also used a 60 deg. blade.
Your roll of foil came with a page of instructions on the time/temp/pressure. Follow them and you should be OK.
If you haven't pressed any vinyl before, read some of the good posts like this one from Rodney.
