Hi to everyone!

I am new to this forum, what a great place! I am new to the transfer business, and just received my plastisol transfers from my supplier... very excited I must add! Now I have applied heat transfers before and I have a stahl press, the problem I'm experiencing is in this product I picked up yesterday. I mucked around and fiddled with pressure and time, and am pleased with the general results, my only concern is where the supplier has outlined my images with white so they could be applied to any color garment, the black that borders that white seems to bleed. These are hot peels so I have tried a few things... waiting a few extra seconds.... rubbing down the transfer gently...removing qicker...removing slower....pressure up...pressure down, you get the idea

. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Thanks in advance to all!

Hi I was told to set to 375 for 6-10 seconds with medium to heavy pressure

....hummmm, hard to tell what the problem is since you tried almost everything.

the only time i had problems with transfers lately was due to a little too much, time, heat, pressure.

Most hot peels you need to peel it quick. You should also be able to peel them cold with some types.

Try a little less of everything and see how it turns out.

remove all the moisture from the shirt before you apply.
