It depends on what you are going to do. Vinyl is good for small runs that contain a few colors (1-3). You can't do any shading or such to the art. If you need to do higher quantity runs, it is probably better to go with plastisol.

Plastisol is screen printed transfer tha you can have made and apply them with a heatpress. These are popular because you get thee look and feel of screened printing with the ability to make alot or just a few at a time.You can learn more at Ace Transfer Company . Good luck. ....... JB

They can make transfers from your own designs as well.
