what is a plastisol (silk screen printed) heat transfer: a definition

There are several reasons for using transfers, they are economical in small-medium size orders, they reduce spoilage (bad prints don't make it to the shirt), transfers are quicker to produce and some people either don't have room for screenprinting equipment or don't want the hassle. Personally I love screenprinting but I don't like running a screenprinting business so I use transfers, larger orders can be subbed out. There are also certain items like hats, hoodies and jackets that are just easier to heat transfer than they are to screenprint. Even when I worked in a screenprinting shop, about 5% of all our orders were printed as transfers then pressed on. Misprint a hoodie and there is $10-15 dollars down the drain. Nylon jackets are worse.
