Anyone have any recommendations where to shop to get custom transfers made? I'm printing on t-shirts and some other types of mostly cotton shirt wear.

Thanks,
Thomas

I would suggest you look at places such as Versatrans, Transfer Express, etc. You can also do a search using the necessary search criteria and you'll find many posts already addressing this topic.

What kind of transfers??

 

[thomhee]

I use to get my transfers from 1st street graphics, but haven't used them in a long time. I have been doing all my business using someone that has been using DTG, but now I'm going back to transfers because I think they look just as good and are much more cost effective. I just looked up one of my old 1st street invoices and it doesn't say what kind of transfers they are, but I'm guessing plastisol. I thought the quality was very very good and never had a problem with the transfers.

I'm looking for somewhere that will do anywhere from 10 to 30 transfers of each design. I have quite a few designs that I am looking to get done.

Does anyone know what is best for what I am doing? Sublimation or plastisol or inkjet?

 

[plan b]

What type of art you doing?? if you have a lot of colors then plastisol would not be cost effective,, I think first street only does plastisol,,

sublimation can only be done on polyester material which is what is used in sports etc... this process is only for light colors,,, so with more information maybe we can help

Plastisol transfers give you the same durability as printing directly to the garment (check out Versatranz or First-edition). We have a lot of experience create and using plastisol transfers. They work great.

Sublimation would only work on light polyester garments.

Inkjet arguably has quality and longevity issues.

All my print is going on shirts with 80% cotton or more. Almost all of my artwork is under 4 colors.

You can see most of my designs on funny-tshirts.com if you need to get a better idea.

Plastisol is the only way to go then

Do you perfer verstran or transfer express or have you ever used transfer express. They are the only company that I have use on custom transfers

 

[italiagreen]

How uch does that cost, roughly and are you using a custom design?

 

[Ruby MHarvey]

I use their designs and I send them my art work to make custome designs, the cost depends on how many transfers you are gettiing. Thier prices on their designs have been less that vestrans, from what I see on vestrans website.
