Default Transfering on to XXL shirts with a 15" X 15" press

Hey guys.....I am about to make a purchase on a heat press and I just do not have enough to get a quality 16 x 20. I know that I will be doing some XXL and a few XXXL items, but not nearly the amount as I will do in the smaller sizes. My question is will I be able to do these on this press. I know that it may take a little more time, but just wanting to be sure that it can be done. Our logos are relatively simple designs.
Thanks
Git-Bit

The size of the garment is irrelevant. Any excess garment will simply hang off the sides of the press. With a 15X15 press, that is the maximum size your design transfer can be .

You may apply any size design to any size shirt with a 15x15 press. On the oversize designs you just use an easy two step process.

Ditto ... I've used my 15x15 to press up to a 5X t-shirt !! Not a problem.

Ed, how would I transfer a plastisol transfer that is larger than the press? Can you provide details on the 2 step process?

Not a problem we have a small 15" press and press designs larger than 15 on sizes > 4xl. Place transfer center, press. Then move shirt over and press the outer two edges. Works every time, not a problem... just slower than standard 15 x 15 single press.
