Default Imageclip - how soon do I need to press the transfers?

Based on all of the information on this forum, I am looking into printing transfers using my Xerox Phaser 6100 onto Imageclip paper.

My designs are usually very small, and I could likely fit many onto a single sheet of paper. To make this paper cost effective for me, I was wondering if I could gang my images onto a single sheet of transfer paper, cut out those images, and then print them to shirts as I needed them.

How long can I wait between printing from my CLP and doing the first press onto the polymer paper? From finished paper to the shirts?

Thanks!!

You can certainly gang the design in one sheet. I do it all the time. I have a batch that I printed, pressed and peeled (first step) that were kept in a zip lock bag that were good when I pressed them on the shirts. A member thought that Imageclip have a shelf life even before the two papers are pressed and peeled (first step) because he may had a bad batch from the vendor. He sent some papers to be analyzed by the manufacturer. The member has not reported the result yet.

Here is a testimonial from another member: color laser printer and imageclip tips / hints/ secrets / cheats

Really the best way to find out is by first hand experience. Buy a small quantity and experiment with it. Like I do in any transfers that I have tried I buy the least amount that a vendor will sell. Sometimes the vendor will send it to free of charge. Try it and if it doesn't work out it is no big loss. Otherwise the more I ask around the more I doubt the product and I will never get started. That is how I look at it.
