Hello all!
I am wondering if anyone can give me any insight into pre-printed transfers. I am looking to order some, and am unsure who I should buy from. I am in Canada. I have heard that there is a place in Montreal, but have been unsuccessful. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for shipping and handling.
I don't want to get into printing my own yet, I want to get good at the pressing part of it first.
I think most of the big producers are fine.i have used thompson and air waves.i had great luck with both.The big producers are very customer service oriented. ....JB

What kind of transfers are you looking for,
ie. stock designs, or custom, you send in your design and get them printed/shipped back to you...

i am starting with pre-prints myself. about a month ago, i ordered some from Pro World. The transfers were great and they don't have a limit on how much you must order. For me, this gave flexibility to sample a variety of transfers with different themes. Their website is very helpful. They list the pics of the transfer along with the dimensions and whether you should put the transfer on a light or dark shirt. Customer service is great via e-mail. I also read in another post that Pro world is a distributor for other companies. This makes it easy because you don't have to order from multiple sites. I just ordered some more transfers and they should be arriving today. I will be using gildan 5000 ultra soft tees with the transfers. my pricing scheme will be 1 for $12 or 2 for $20. I have a festival i am working this weekend.
I too ordered from Pro World and they are great! The only problem that I have is the customs and brokerage fees that come along with shipping to Canada. a 180.00 order turned to about 250.00 once all was said and done! The transfers are great though! I just wish that there was a way to order them and avoid those extra charges!
