We do customer transfers, which at least to me, is the best route

Hello I will use a tranfer, if you are using different colors, or a one or two color I would screen print them. Latonya

We are currently using Trans~4~Jet Heat Transfer Paper that can be bought from Discovery Lancer in Toronto. But we are also just starting out and those are the first type we have used. I am sure that there are other, more readily accessible types that would work for tote bags. We are doing black bags with silkscreening, and natural bags with a combination of heat transfers and silkscreening depending on the complexity of the design.
Good Luck

Hi Wes. You will find from reading some of the threads on here, that very few of the transfer papers mentioned on this forum, are actually available in the UK.

You could try xpres.co.uk, or novachrome.

Hope this helps.

Hi Wes,

There is a UK member Deniseg who does really nice tote bags, she uses Duracotton printed on a laser printer. Check out her previous postings, should give you an idea how she do's it.
