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!

Kelvin . . . here's a couple of pic's using JPSS

JPSS works great on the white . . but as you see on the yellow cap . . I needed to trim "much closer"

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.

Thank you JB . . . I lost a sister to BC . .*sigh*~ . . .

BC items are (at times) really hard to find at a reasonable price ---- so I have a section in my store . . designated to awareness items...

I even have a 7 foot pink ribbon in my shop . .

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.

Thanks for your time.

When using JPSS on a hat, do you heat-press it like a normal t-shirt (using a normal heat press)?
