Hello, this is my first post and am interested in this plastisol~I do small pocket logos for a company with thermoflex and cut them on my plotter~it takes "forever" to weed these and I was looking for some other way~I want them to look like they are screen printed but NOT printed on a heat press vinyl (I have tried that) and it looks like a big plastic sticker stuck on the shirt. If I have the ready artwork in Flexi can I get them made somewhere???

Can you elaborate on which techniques might not be possible with plastisol transfers?

This may be a sill question but I was going to try some of this plastisol stuff and was wondering, once you get your transfer is there any cutting involved (aroudn your image? or can you just lay the whole thing down and press?

SORRY NEWBIE!!!!

You just lay and press. Then you simply peel away the entire paper transfer backing and you're done.

Plastisol transfers are made with a standard silkscreen press. So if you are silkscreening now, you already have the machine. All you need now is paper, possibly special ink and some powder stuff, I think.

It's not an easy process, even for an experienced silkscreener. That's why most people farm it out to companies who only do plastisol transfers.

I happened to experiment with Plastisol and create a Design where I had some Mix-Media (my favorite technique), so I created a Vintage Design made in Plastisol then added some foil vinyl transfer and some irregular stitches to experience a 3D look and feeling to this shirt. Now I'm thinking about producing it after a rigorous critique process of course. In other words, Plastisol rules!!!

Plastisol may be overrated! I sent a simple full color design to one of the sites plastisol companies, they wanted $7 per sheet transfer. front back, standard t-shirt size. That did not include shipping. What could be the problem? Anyone know the average cost front back? At the $7 how can a person profit if trying to wholesale them? Seems to me an average wholesale price for a t-shirt is around $5-7.

What are the sizes of your designs?

Since full color is the most expensive design to print (transfer or direct), you can order a higher quantity to bring your per transfer cost down.

Front and back design we expect the back to be about 17 inches x 13 inches. front about 14x 11.
being new we were not exactly sure the shirt size we need but seems the back should go from middle of shoulder blade each size. On XXL it seemed about 17 inches. I am guessing we would want 2 sizes to accomodate the med- large adult also.
Being new maybe you can give feedback on how you know what size to make the transfer. I emailed to them the picture, and said front and back. Maybe there was a missunderstanding.

Actually they said qty did not matter, it was the area I used makes the cost.
