Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I have also used Wild Side transfers and yes they are very good. The ones I have used so far have all been hot peel and your fingers take a beating with the heat. If you aren't fast, and I mean fast, it will not peel right. The wash and wear test is also quite satisfactory. If you process the product properly, you won't have any coming back for a refund.

Fast meaning, just grab the edge and pull it off in one fast smooth motion? I have done hot peels from several companies, First edition, Transfer Express, Versatranz and it is just peel it as soon as the press lifts. Is it like that? Are they touchy? Do you think I will mess a few up?
If you have experience with the others, I'm sure you will do just fine. There is always a chance that you will mess one or two up for a variety of reasons; temp, pressure, forgot to prepress, hesitation, etc. It is always good to have a few more transfers and t-shirts on hand than you need for each job just in case. If you don't mess up, then you have an extra t-shirt or two to play around with when coming up with your own designs.

Reason: misspelling
If the majority of the design is white and some transfers are all white....less dwell renders it more opaque. Really depends on the design and how its printed. This is really only when printing on darks.
I just got my heat press this past week at the Atlanta ISS show (had a great time) and I am chomping at the bit to get started. Do you think "Wild Side Transfer" is a good co. to start with? Any other transfer companys you like. I would like some really nice, bold and to the point christian transfers.
I would start with companies like Art- Brands, Pro-World and Boo Z for the largest selection of different style transfers. These companies sell the transfers produced by the major transfer makers including Wildside.

David,
Have you had any experience with Wildside when it comes to custom designed transfers?
