Question Does anyone really print GOOD 4-color process heat transfers for DARK garments?

I'm looking for custom transfers for dark garments. We used to use iron-ons 10-15 years ago. Some were very easy and looked great. Many were impossible and the rest worked sometimes. We gave up. (I still have $1000 worth of 10 year old transfers in boxes in the back.)

FYI, we do custom screenprinting and embroidery along with ASI. We quit offering process on dark shirts as it is too time consuming and usually no one is happy. Our orders are often 36-100 pieces.

I've contacted several vendors and samples are on their way, but I thought I'd reach out to all of you. Most of the info I read on the forum is months/years old. Thanks all!

Shirley
