Discuss the many aspects of plastisol (screen printed) heat transfers. Topics include where to buy, how to put them on t-shirts, quality, pictures, stock (pre printed) transfers and more. Read the definition of a plastisol transfer here.
Maybe this could get stickied. This is my list of plastisol transfer vendors with other info such as number of standard colors, turnaround, location, etc. Feel free to send me corrections and I'll keep this up to date. If anyone should be added to the list then send me the necessary info and I'll add them.

Since I hereby anoint you Plastisol Transfer King, you should expand this spreadsheet by including sample costs on 25, 100, 500 transfers in 1, 2, 3, etc. colors.

I already have , well quantities 12, 50 & 144, anyway. I just don't have any intention of posting that information. One thing I've learned while acquiring all that info is that least expensive is relative to what you need.
Some that stand out for having a good combination of speed and price are Howard Sportswear, Silver Mountain and F&M. But some companies are inexpensive for low quantities and expensive for high quantities and vice versa; some are inexpensive for 1-2 color prints and expensive for 5+ color prints and vice versa. If you have a lot of colors in your transfer then companies like Howard or Silver Mountain could really save you money because its easier to avoid custom color fees. I do work shirts and over half of all my transfers are white so F&M fills the bill with their lower prices and quick turnaround. So it really does depend on your needs.
Versatrans is Located in Plymouth ,Mi. My name is Danny and I am the VP at Versatrans, thank you for putting us on your list.
I just recieved an order form Versatrans and I believe they have standardized their sheet size to 11 x 17. BTW their signature product was awesome. I printed a black image on a Gildan Saftey Orange t-shirt (50/50 blend) and was very impressed. As good as if not better than the screen printed shirts they recieved form another printer 2 years ago. I would not hesitate to order their product again.
Last time I went through the list some of the websites no longer existed and I believe some of the phone numbers were dead, but that was months ago and I didn't keep track.
