Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Does anyone know of a way to remove a heat transfer logo from something like a soccer jersey? I would love to remove the huge sponsor logo from the front of the jersey. Anyone know of a way to do it?
if the transfer is a metalic or glittery then it simply needs to be heated again at 165'c for about 15 secs with teflon paper on top. but if it is only normal vynal i have only foung one thing that might be able to remove it and its risky and may dammage the top!!
anyway.. the only thing i have found is the liquid that is found inside a glow stick! Seems strange i no but i make alot of t-shirts for friend and one night at a rave we got covered in the stuff next day my transfers started falling off hope this was a help.
lmao At a rave doesnt the paint peel off the walls as well as most clothes? Glow stick juice? You will probably need some sort of applicator such as a wet pacifier or the butt end of a burned out roman candle.
did anybody actually try the suggested methods of removing the heat transfer prints? did it work? coz i have some mistakes in the prints of one of my jackets and i would like to remove them too.
anyone have an answer on how to remove heated transfers?? i screwed up on a bag and would like to get it taken off but don't want to screw the bag up either.
If you are looking to remove heat transfer paper, like inkjet dark paper, like Ironall Dark or Jetwear Dark, you can place a plain white piece of paper over the image area, re-heat the paper and image, and peel the white paper, it may take some time, but it is said to remove opaque heat transfer paper. It may leave a smudge, but if you are applying another image in it's place, it will be covered up.
If you are trying to remove shirt vinyl, I'd recommend Tsaver based on what I've read on the forums: Order T-Saver

Luis! Thank you for that link. I looked at those products. There are a few there. Is one of them for shirt vinyl? Thanks. (I couldn't decifer which might be for shirt vinyl.)
It looked like those might be awesome products for removing vinyl other than shirt vinyl, which is always a good link to have. Just today, I was reading posts by wildpat, and he said he used brake fluid on a polycarbonate sign, first to remove paint, then a second app to remove the vinyl. I think he said the stuff was on there like 20 yrs or so. He said everything else he looked at said it would harm the plastic, but the brake fluid worked like a charm. How odd, I thought. That was one I tossed under the cap for a keeper.
Well, those products in your link made me think of the brake fluid posts... but was still wondering if one of those products is for shirt vinyl. Then I will wonder how the Tsaver stacks up against it.
Man, it is good to be back.

The Stahls product is definitely for vinyl and then some. The company has been selling that since '90's. It is easy to use, works very well without hurting the fabric.

I purchased some Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K) from Home Depot, applied it to a rag and the graphics rubbed right off. To ensure the safety of the garment however, it is likely best to first test the chemical on an inconspicuous spot.

Not sure on the light papers, if plain paper will work. You might try it - if the shirt is ruined or unwanted anyway. I can't really remember anyone having any luck other than adding more design or more fabric over the top to cover. Sorry, I wish I could remember something better than that for you. Otherwise, I personally haven't tried to removed JPSS. I either make it right, or use it for testing if it's screwed up. Best wishes...
