Default comparsions of vinyl

I am looking to purchase a new roll of heat transfer vinyl.
I am looking to get a white roll this time.
I used up my spectracut II (yellow). I didn't really like the way it weeded at times.

I am looking at the following vinyls.
Multicut (joto)
Hotmark (richards supply)
Thermaflex (speciality graphics)

Looks like the Hotmark and Thermaflux Plus run about the same price.
Mulitcut is like 10 bucks more.

Looking to get feedback on them and if anyone has used all 3 brands and has some comparison on them.

Thanks
Mark

You should be able to get samples from most of the distributors, just contact them.

samples I have gotten are really small squared ones and can't do much with them.
I have something I want to do with our softball shirts so want to get one ordered. Leaning towards the multicut right now.

thanks
Mark

You've probably seen that at Specialty you can order just a foot at a time.

I highly recommend Thermoflex plus.

We tried some Hotmark, and altho some people love it, we found that it puckered really badly, even on pre-shrunk shirts.

You might also try Roger's (plan b's) vinyl. His link is in his signature in his post in this thread.

Try eco film from imprintables. It is easier to weed and somewhat sticky allowing for small mistakes to be fixed.
