 Re: probleming pressing the proworldinc. transfer help!
When I first started pressing plastisol transfers I was very frustrated because they weren't turning out right either. Some of the transfer ink would stay on the paper and I ended up with a lot of new shirts in my own wordrobe 'cause I couldn't sell them.
What's working best now is prepressing the shirt for 6-8 seconds. I set the hot split transfers at 390 and press for 8-10 seconds. I let it cool after pressing the transfer for about 6-10 seconds and then start to peel away the paper. After all the paper is removed, I then repress the shirt with a teflon sheet for 8 more seconds to make sure the entire image is applied to the shirt. This does give it a waxy, glossy look, but I like it and it makes the shirt look good. In addition, the glossy look does disapate after being washed.
I've noticed that transfers from X-it with red ink on them can be the biggest problems and stick to the paper.
Hope that helps - Ryan
