Default Plastisol Transfers

Just had a thought, (Uh oh....)
What if I pre-print some of my Obama designs on transfer paper and iron them on later as I need them. I'm driving myself crazy trying to keep the right amounts and sizes available in stock. I try to print 5-20 dozen at a time. I have 4 or 5 designs. I have a lot of sizes- like small, that dont move. I cant guess what sizes are going to sell when. and I'm Buying way too many blanks also.
Does anyone print their own transfers and have good results with them? How much is the paper? Where can you get it?
Thanks.

yes, but you gotta print it backwards...

your underbase would actually need to be printed last instead of first

I don't know if you are limited to how many colors you can use, as i've not done it myself

I would imagine if you quickly flash the ink between layers just enuff to gel it, you might be ok, but Iwould imagine an intense image may not hold...

again, i've never done it, someone better qualified might be able to answer this
