coils give off irregular / uneven heat

Have you ever had issues with your ink on your shirts? My brother's flash dryer is coil and he has been using it for three years with no issues so far. I am looking for one for myself and am not sure if it would matter to a garage type operation which one I get.

Nick, I live in northern minnesota and i am doing some vinyl cutting, garment and want to do some decals,, for cars,,
i am afraid if these are applied like most are, when they scrap the snow off there window, the decal will come off as well...
should i just put in instructions to wipe over the window in the area where decal is, and not use ice scraper?

Would you choose screen printing over heat transfer?

Call me a rookie, but can't the decal be done in reverse and placed inside the window?

Nope not choosing transfer over screen, i am doing it all, i do not want my clients to have to go anywhere else,, greedy,, yahhhhhhhhhhh


about the decal,, i really want to make them for inside,, clings too...
so they last,, but i might be selling to others as well outside my area,, and then they would want them on the outside,, i am sure,,
i really want to go to wallmart and go touch eveyones windows to see where they are placing them,,,,lol
