I don't suppose you're going to answer my question about why you're going back to First Edition after you complained they were too slow in an earlier post. I'll just drop the whole thing. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

They arent slow with their service, its their shipping zone that takes so long. They are in a 4 day shipping zone vs the F&M in a 1 day shipping zone. But so far i have had no slip ups or anything go wrong with their customer service and getting my orders correct. THey have been on point since day 1.

The freedom allows you to heat press unlimited colors. It has a slight hand to it but it washes well. I rec'd 500 today..

What do you mean by slight hand? And when you say washes well, what do you mean? Is it still screen printed plastisols?

Hand is how smooth the print is.. You barely feel a design on a shirt that has a soft hand.

So its like a cold peel transfer almost? Or is it worse or better than that?

Are the freedoms smooth and soft, or are they more plasticy feeling?

Its a hot peel product. It has a plastic feel with colors that pop feel. I learned that its more suitable for a design that has open areas than a solid design.

Chris, how did things turn out? The order I placed last Monday was completed and shipped on time although they warned me that they are in the process of moving and some jobs may be delayed while they move presses.

I got one of my jobs, and i was never warned. The plant manager called and apologized and offered me something to make up for the lost income i had due to them being tardy on the orders. So i placed another order, and as long as this one is here on time, i will continue to use them in the future.
