Cool Waterbased vs Plastisol

I am currently looking at getting tshirt priting done with water based inks.

Im pretty sure I can not apply heat press applied jewels to plastisol printed shirts, am I right?

Can flocking be only done with plastisol printed shirts?

Please HELP!

Hello Paulo and welcome!

You may want to take a look at the More Info section/menu to the left side of this site to find some screenprinters there.

Another option is to place a SERVICE NEEDED post in the TF Classifieds forum as you'll get responses there too.

Good luck and feel free to toss out any more questions.

As in later heat press jewels to a shirt that already has a plastisol print? Yeah, that's likely to cause a problem with the print (although if you can apply it in a different area, cover it with a teflon sheet, etc. you might be okay).

I'm pretty sure it can be done the same way as foil (which means, amongst other methods, you can screenprint an adhesive, then heat press the flock onto the adhesive).

Doesn't look like I have enough posting points to post in the classifieds yet.

Won't be long

You can also try the forums at TSPMB - The Screen Printers Message Board! (lots of screen printers visit those forums and they have a free classifieds area where you can post job requests).
