Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
hi
i have just brought a cap press and i was wondering if i need special transfer paper.i use ironall light/dark at the moment for my t shirts can i also use this for my caps.
I would recommend you either use plastisol transfers or vinyl. If you must use ironall just be aware that when the hat gets sweaty the design will look really bad. At least that has been my experience using ironall on hats. The ironall darks works better. But I have personnally switched to vinyl and plastisol for hats. Hope this helps!

I don't see a reason why you can't use them on caps. It is even advantagious to press them on caps because caps are very seldom washed if ever.
I would not recommend lights on 6 or 8 panel type because of the stitch somewhere where the transfer would be.
I use digital transfer on caps when orders come up.

hi
that was great guys.i have brought a new epson r1900 printer and will be using ironall paper but where can but the ink from.some people on here say refills are good on t shirt is this true as i will hopefully be selling a lot of t shirt etc and need to find the best ink i can but at the cheapest price.if you do use refills what do i need to do to my printer as it will only be used for transfers not normal printing.
JPSS works great on the white . . but as you see on the yellow cap . . I needed to trim "much closer"

Hi Diane,
Just wondering if you have an opinion on weather someone could use jpss for bandanas. or would I have to screen print those. I only have 1/2 of my set up right now and would like to also have bandanas at the event I am doing.
