Hello, I just registered and hope to become part of the community! I'm opening a retail t-shirt website and I have a couple quick questions before I start.

I got a little ahead of myself and made the website and got everything ready and now im learning how to do transfers before I start. All of my transfers are from ProWorld (www.proworldinc.com). I already bought my heat press.

My questions is do these transfers from pro world need to be trimmed before i press them, or do these only transfer the ink and not the clear plasticy stuff? I am hoping that they do not need to be trimmed, but if they do can someone give me some advice on trimming, or point me to a good post about trimming? Thanks a lot!

I believe ProWorld do a few different types of transfers, but if they're the plastisol transfers they don't need to be trimmed.

That is what I dont know, if they are plastisol or not, they really dont say on there anywhere. They dont give to much info about if they need to be trimmed or not. Anyone know?

Has anyone personally used many of the proworld transfers that could give me any more info?

Got my answer from proworld, there is no backing just ink. They didnt say if its plastisol or not... But I would have to assume it is if only the ink is transferred. Thanks for the help!

I've used a bunch of them, and no trimming on any. A heads up, I've found their transfer instruction times to be too short. I've had much better results by adding an extra 10 seconds to all of their press times.

Same thing here, I'll just add another 6-8 seconds to get good results with them.

they don't need to be trimmed but make sure you read the application instructions before pressing them. Some have puffy areas to them that require a different time and temp. some are hot peel and some are cold.

We use them all the time. I probably have two hundred in my inventory right now.
