Ok, I just want to know of this is even possible.

On one design to have plastisol, foil, and flock all using my good 'ol Heat Press?

How do I do it?
Can I do it?

Good question, wish I had the answer. I've never tried or even THOUGHT about that to be honest.

Though, that said, I'm interested to find out if it can be done somehow.

My first guess would be that it's going to be a multi-press process. One for plastisol, one for foil and one for flock. But it's a guess.

i've done it with plastisol, flock, and metallic...

I would press the foil, followed by the plastisol and end it with the flock (since its the thickest)

hope this helps.

Alex,

Would all of these be custom ordered transfers, that can be pre-ordered in advance?

for foil & flock i would recommend instagraph.com.. i've tested some of their samples and had great results.

for plastisol transfers.. ace is the most recommended source here.. i've also tested some of their samples and had great results.

i recommend you order samples from both companys and test the product yourself.

goodluck

Hmmmmm...

Ok I have 1 design...I want part flock, part foil, and the rest plastisol.

So I guess that would be 3 different transfers I need.

unless there is a company out there that can put all 3 in 1? i dont think so though.

its going to cost a bit of money, but if its worth it for you, go for it!
