Default help with vinyl selection pls!

Are there any recommendations for vinyls that peel of easily and don't have to use a knife to remove the cut material (i,e, plotting text and have to remove the insides of letters like Os and P's etc...
I am looking to be able to quickly and cost effectively plot and press one time "text" on shirts/tops. (Or was that due to the pressure setting of the knife?)

I looked at one vinyl and it was too shiny, there are more matte finish ones I presume right?

I am trying to get the transfer to go into the fabric as much as possible - any suggestions - mostly just need black and white colors & need to stretch and wash good.

Thanks!!

I suggest you look at the eco film product and the multi cut product. They are both great and look good when pressed. The multi cut will come in wider rolls for the samr money. ... JB

LOL I wished there was a vinyl that didn't need to be weeded. You may want to look at plastisol transfers if you're doing multiple copies of the same transfer. If not, then I recommend Multicut from www.jotopaper.com as it has a matte finish.
