I don't want any seam interruption, unless it is really minimal.

What techniques would I use to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any ideas

I think first of all the transfer type would need to be (or make it easier) the kind that allows it to print as a Hot - or - Cold peel (plastisol). Then, print each part seperate.

As you print over sections that are already printed, use a teflon sheet to protect it and remove the teflon cold.

Over seams, there will always be a minor defect with inks...not as much with vinyls etc.

give it a try on scrap fabric first.
