Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc. Two-sided transfers??

Two-sided transfers?? Is it possible to put a heat transfer on both sides of a t-shirt? Is there a heat resistant pad or material that can be inserted inside the shirt so the second transfer doesn't compromise the quality of the first one?
Basically, I want to sandwich something inside the t-shirt so no heat (or very little) gets to the bottom where original transfer is. Thanks for your help!!

Re: Two-sided transfers?? You might be able to use a teflon sheet. I might have heard someone using a mousepad as well.

Re: Two-sided transfers?? A teflon pillow will work great. And use a teflon sheet under your shirt, between the shirt and the bottom platen.

Re: Two-sided transfers?? Thanks for the info. Do any t-shirt press companies make teflon products or do I need to find one elsewhere?

Re: Two-sided transfers?? We press two sided plastisol transfers all the time. You need a teflon lower platon skirt. Just flip the tee and press away.
