Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Our heat press lets us slide the shirt on one side at a time, My guess is don't use a shorter time as that's what you need to adhere. With cold peel it shouldn't matter.
Yes you can apply heat pressed vinyl to both sides of a garmet with no problems, you can actually apply more then 1 layer to each side. Just be sure and use a teflon sheet or parchment paper to protect the first layer of vinyl.

Dave is 100% right and with cold peel vinyl the extra dwell time on one side won't matter. If I were doing 2 sided designs , I would switch to a hot peel vinyl to increase your production. .... JB
I used a cold peel vinyl to do alot of 2 sided shirts. I did a test on a shirt though and right after I pressed the first color of a 2 color design I very slowly peeled the backing off. It worked great. I then pressed the 2nd color and let it cool for a couple seconds and then peeled agian. Great results.
I then pressed the back of the shirt with a one color design and peeled backing after a short cooldown and all went well.
several washs later I couldn't tell it from new.
Hope this helps
