Default Vinyl Tranfers

Anyone use these?

This is the main reason why I bought my heatpress but after looking around I noticed there are many different brands/prices out there. Any warnings or recomendations on a brand/company?

The spectra line and thermoflex plus heatpress vinyls will give you zero problems. I use vinyl everyday and love the results.

Default Re: Vinyl Tranfers

Thanx Moto ..

I was looking into signwarehouse (where i get my standard Vinyl) materials and neither of them names are listed, glad I asked the question.

Now where should I get it? I googled the names but being new to the business I am not sure which is good.

Should i be getting my standard vinyl somewhere else also? Do not see anyone mention signwarehouse when referring places.

thank you

signwarehouse is a common vinyl source as is ordways. I purchase locally through graphic solutions group. Josh at imprintables warehouse can help you with the spectra brand heatpress vinyls.

Default Re: Vinyl Tranfers

I do have a good vinyl software program but as I am new to this I thought maybe getting the designs was easier. I also do embroidery and you can buy millions of designs already done for about $2 each so I thought maybe vinyl was the same way. I will check out your suggestions.

Thanks

I use Hotmark 70 from SignWarehouse for my shirts. Love it. Haven't had any problems at all.

I use vinyl from Twill USA, it has a sticky mylar that helps hold the design while weeding and it is seems to be less expensive than Thermoflex and other brands.

They are a small company and adding new colors and other things often. Check then out.

I started off using SpectraCut II, but didn't care much for it. It's very difficult to weed and also very difficult to peel after applying. I then tried the ThermoFlex and loved it. Very easy to weed and and easy to peel. If you try both you will notice a big difference. The Thermolflex also seems to have a softer feel once applied.
