Default Vintage 70's transfers

Hello there. Just wondering if anyone can help. I bought a selection of vintage 70's transfers from the States & have had a few issues with printing them. I normally make plastisol one colour transfers which I print onto baking paper. I then print these onto the shirts for 30 seconds at 180 degrees and peel after about 30 seconds. The vintage shirts don't take at this setting. I'm wondering if I need to cold peel them? I'm talking about the type of transfers that have a white backing, then the colours, then the top paper. Anyone assist in that? Maybe the fact that they are 30 years old might be working against them?

Thanks

James

Lot of transfer from back then where cold peel and I do use old one from 70,80..

Some times when they wont peel spray some water on them or put in the wash and the paper will come off hope this helps...

Thank you very much. I've tried a few more today and indeed the cold peel technique seems to work fine. Only the really old ones play up.
