Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc. Do I really need the teflon sheet?

Do I really need the teflon sheet?
I got some transfer paper from milford paper, and Im about to just use the sheet that goes over the artwork onto a black t-shirt. Do I still need a teflon sheet?

Re: Do I really need the teflon sheet? It is best. Its possible the heat and pressure will cook the art sheet to that transfer. I believe something along these lines will happen without the use of a Teflon sheet.

Re: Do I really need the teflon sheet? it will also alter the texture of your print, feel more screenprinty in my opinion

Re: Do I really need the teflon sheet? my heat plate has a marking form not using a teflon sheet so I have learned my lesson, it is a necessity for the longevity of your equipment.

Re: Do I really need the teflon sheet? I use a teflon sheet for the protection of the heat press and the garment. It is a cheap insurance policy. good luck..... JB
