Red face Does Anyone Know What This Rubber Material Is On T-shirts?

HI FORUM FRIENDS!

I bought a shirt from a local store... and i was curious when i felt the material of the print.
It was a transfer... very very rubbery material.

It was a rubber like material that was heat adhered on... (I know because i peeled it off! )

Does anyone know what i am talking about?

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Sounds like it might of been a puff transfer. They can have that feel to them. Most transfer suppliers like pro-world and boo-z have puff.

Sounds like heatpress vinyl actually. Anyone who has ever weeded the stuff certainly can see a similarity between it and very thin latex.
