Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
When you talk about "not having the box show" it sounds like you plan to use some type of iron on tranfer sheet, and not actual cut heat press vinyl designs? If that is the case, then you most likely will want to get a cutter that can contour cut around your printed designs to remove the excess sheet material, or have plastisol transfers made, as they do not leave the "box". There are tons of different tranfer papers out there, so maybe some other Forum members who use them a lot can give you a heads up on the best paper to avoid cracking and/or fading. Good luck.
I'm talking about either vinyl or inkjet transfers.
I'm still debating but I really dont want my transfers to look cheap and tacky because I will be doing it live and I want the product to come out good.
The key to successfully applying transfers is
1. time - how long the transfer is applied.
2. temperature on heat press
3. pressure, too much bad, too light bad
when you have that down, you have a transfer that lasts a long time.
CJ, the box that you refer to when using transfer paper is the carrier that allows the ink to be transferred onto the garment. There are papers available that leave extremely little residue and it virtually disappears with washings, and will not crack or fade. The quality also depends a great deal on the ink that is used, the fabric content, and the color of the garment.
