T-Shirt Forums - View Single Post - Best company to make custom photo transfers

bdeville · August 21st, 2007

I have been printing my own heat transfers for about a year now. I've been using mostly dark shirts and Coastal's Jet Dark transfer paper.

Now I have an order for 500 shirts for a non profit group and I need to find a company that can print color photo transfers for me. I think this will be more cost effective, correct me if I'm wrong. They will be on white 50/50 or cotton t shirts and will probabaly want a one color information image on the other side, which I was planning to have made as well.

I see all these companies that make plastisol transfers, do they also make photo transfers? I have contacted First Edition and their machine is broken, I've emailed Dowling and Silver Mountain to ask for information. I don't see that either one does this on their web site, but I thought I'd ask.

Does anyone have good reliable resources?
Or if I should print them myself, who had the best transfer paper for white? I've actually been using Office Max's because I don't do many white shirts.

Thanks for your help.
