Default Re: possible to do low opacity plastisol transfers?

haven't done much plastisol transfers but one trick for making a print low opacity/transparent is to print all solids as a halftone. try 80% black
This allows the ground color to show through abit. At 55lpi an 80% black halftone dot isn't too noticeable.
