Default Transfers - custom or ordered

I'm new to the industry and I'm curious; is it more economical to make you own custom transfers or buy them pre-made?

If your talking injet or laser then it is cheaper to do it yourself, if your talking screenprint plastisol transfersand you have all equipment this would be yes too. I have my plastisol tranfers made at Ace Transfer Company. ..... JB

I offer both. I do the inkjet transfers on a custom basis and it's very cost effective for me. Buying stock transfers is also a good option and I do that as well.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I guess it's best to just start with stock transfers if there is no major cost difference.

Trent they are top choice people to deal with. I have met the owner and his staff. Dave ( the owner) gave me a personal tour and explained the process as we walked around. I was really impressed in thr amount of care and work involved to assure all is done properly. I know yu won't be disapointed.They have great customer service. If they help you succeed it will help them too. ... JB
