Lightbulb heatpressvinyls? site closed..any alternative?

I use to order from heatpressvinyls.com, I think roger was the guy, but it looks like his site is closed. Any good alternatives? I liked how his vinyls would apply well into the fabrics. I been in the heat press vinyl stuff for about 2 years now. I tried out the spectracut 2 stuff..those were thin, nice for small cuts..but they peeled right off after washes...I would not go back to those. Thermoflex didn't work out well either. My best results were with the heat press vinyl stuff. He also had the puffy type of vinyl too. I should post pics.

There are several places to get heat applied t-shirt vinyl from.

Specialty Graphics Supply sells a few brands in all types of sizes.

Alpha Supply Company has a few different brands

Coastal Business has several brands of vinyl

There's more, but that should get you started with alternatives while the other site is finishing its makeover.

I've used his vinyls before, and I must say that I don't like them as well as Siser or Thermoflex.

If you're looking for another source in California, advantagesignsupply.com carries Siser.

Ya, i noticed his site was down about 3 weeks ago. Losing money..I was trying to buy some from him too!

Look's like he stop selling vinyl and moved onto selling vinyl cutters.

Just to clarify my vinyl source called one day about closing and closed 2 days later since then it has been a scramble to source a new manufacturer.

Look as if now I have found a new source and should be back up and running by the 1st of the year.
