I will never, never, never contact Silver Mtn again. They do not answer emails. They said they would snd me samples as everyone else did and they did not. This is called lousy customer service. I will look into some more of the names you listed but right now it is First Edition and Dowling.

I agree with Lou wholeheartedly with regards to Silver Mountain. I initially wanted to go with them for my transfers but they never answered ANY of my e-mails.

Luckily, suzieh told me about Dowling Graphics. I went with them because of the excellent recommendation but Susan and because they allow oversized ganging. When I contacted them with questions they answered the same day and have been super through the entire process.

You can e-mail them for their prices. For now thought, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send them to you.

I added them to the list above....

It looks like they charge a premium if your artwork contains ganged images.

I'm not sure why that would matter unless they are cutting your images for you for that additional cost for the same sized transfer.

hey Atari, wow.... thanks for the resource list.
Do you know if all these peeps own a factory and manufacture or do they contract it out ?

I know Clarke Dundas from X-it is great guy and his 90's Slix collection was a big hit....

Actually that list is mostly from another thread here.... in the other thread it had some characters after it to designate a couple different things like "C" = "they do custom transfers" etc... but I don't think that where the transfers were made was considered. I think it's pretty much assumed that they are all made in house... ? (I think )

More choices are a good thing.

It makes them compete on quality as well as price



Keep them coming... if you know them, list them.

Only if you inform each and every vendor that you are shopping their prices. At which point you will not get much out of them as they won't continue to try and BEAT another vendors pricing. What you need to do is:

1 pick a few YOU think are decent

2 order some tranfers to sample

3 make up YOUR mind on quality and pricing that is right for YOU
