Re: the longest lasting heat transfers? i dont have a pic
but here are some urls of serial killer brand shirts/images
http://www.conspiracyinc.com/MafiaT-...rialKiller.htm http://www.wellcoolstuff.com/Merchan...gory_Code=SKTS
the wellcoolstuff site shows close up pics of the images/transfers on the actual shirts
the company went out of business cuz of trademark issues
amazin shirts
they werent heat transfers
and they definitely were not silk screens
the "transfers" were really thick
so thick that it could be felt
the images had a thick vinyl/plastic/rubber feel to them
i have no idea how they did it
thank you for takin the time to help me out

Re: the longest lasting heat transfers? Sounds like an opaque heat transfer, possibly with a glossy overlay. CoastalBusiness sells some like that.

Re: the longest lasting heat transfers? We do similar transfers where I work. Its on a big sticker machine that prints and cuts white vinyl. We have a transfer material that gets printed on and die cut. Then you weed it like you would with vinyl and lay on a transfer (release) paper. Seperate the transfer from the backing paper and its off to the heat press. Very durable material.
