Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Anyone have any experience with this transfer, recommendations on presses, or supplier information? Just getting started DIY with my own designs. Already did the Cafe Press gig, but am moving on to SpreadShirt (like the flocking, and creating my own vector designs to go with it). I still like the option of doing the printing / pressing from my home studio. Already lease a large format laser printer, so that's why I'm looking for Photo-Trans. Any ideas where to get heat-press jewels or other embellishments (I would place them on the transfer by hand)??
PS - I also own a Universal CO2 laser cutter, can I cut vinyl with it? Or would it melt?

Not really sure about these questions. You might try asking over at groups.yahoo.com/group/Heat_Transfers_For_Desktop_Printers/; there are several people there that do vinyl cutting and I believe some have been using the same paper you are talking about as well, so they should be able to give you some good information.
