Default Litho Transfers

With all the post I have read, I barely read anything on lithographic transfers. I recently helped someone out, by heat pressing some for a VBS. I didn't have a chance to see how they lasted through washing and daily rigors. I was wondering whether they are any good or not. I've heard 70's horror stories of course (and I wore my Star Wars ones ), but I was wondering if anything has changed or improved over the years. Of course they are rubbery and thick, but I was wondering if they hold up over time.

Default Re: Litho Transfers

I guess quality could be the reason why.
As with any any full color photo type graphics printed on knits, they will need gentle maintnance in the wash and wear i think.

Along with high minimums.
