Default Glitter and Crystal Transfer

I have a general question about glitter and crystal transfers. I have seen a couple to do both. First, can you apply glitter to the transfer paper and then heat press it to leave glitter on shirt? Second, can I have my design sent to someone who can apply the rhinestones to appropriate places on my transfer paper? Because if I plan on doing a lot of t shirts with the same style or print, applying rhinestones to each transfer paper will be very time consuming. Remember I am new at this so take it easy on me if I am asking something ridiculous! thanks

Hi Andy and John,

I use a screen printer who also screens glitter and other products such as; puff printing, glow in the dark, metalic inks, gloss print etc....

Not sure about the rhienstones, but this printer will only sell to industry re-distributors or approved end users.

I might be able to help you out if you PM me.

Are you in Australia Andy?

Cheers

JD

It's very time consuming for anyone who gets involved with this, so outsourcing it might only raise the price of your product!

You can do this with 2 transfers - a regular plastisol and a rhinestone one. Leave space in your design for the stones and you should be good to go.

See the thread mentioned earlier. I outline the steps necessary to create a rhinestone transfer.

No John. I am in Ohio. I am so happy that you replied to my post. I have been away for a little bit but am grateful for the info you have provided me with. What is PM? I am sorry I don't know that. Oh by the way I want to do all of the things you mentioned on my t shirt. I love puffy paint, glow in the darks, gloss print, metallics, ets.
