Default Stock transfers , is there a difference

Hi, I just got a huge notebook with 6 stock transfer catalogs in it from Pro world. I don't quite understand how Pro world can use Xit, Impulse wear, Wide Side, dowling graphics, and air waves catalogs for us to order from Pro world. Are the transfers from these companies or does Pro world print their own version of the transfer? If so is the transfer the same quality as the original company? Basicly what I want to know is if I order say 6 styles of transfers from Xit and the same ones from Proworld will the transfers be exactly the same?

Pro-World sells all the big transfer companys gear under one roof. One stop shopping for lack of a better term. The transfers are all the same quality from the various print houses.

Thanks, Moto, I was hopping that was what it was so when people on the forum compare transfers they are comparing custom transfers they have had made? Right?

We order a lot of transfers from Pro World and have never had a problem. Good quality and shipping. Seem to be the same. I always look to keep the number of vendors I use to a minimum.

Not always...some are comparing customs from various transfer printers and some are comparing stock transfers from the larger print houses. I have purchased hundreds of different designs from Pro-World representing all the better known transfer makers. I have had two designs that just would not print correctly. I also had one design made for lites and darks that just doesnt work well on darks. The three designs are Amerilicious, Gothic Tribal Butterfly and the Anarchy symbol.
All the other designs have printed perfectly and I never worry if they are going to work or not.

Thanks too, I have the gothic trible butterfly and tried it on a pink shirt and it looks good but I have not tried a black shirt yet. I was not sure how well you could see it on black anyway. Thanks all for the info.
