Hello All!
I am relatively new to pressing transfers to shirts and other aparel. I am using plastisol transfers because my research and advice received pointed to plastisol transfers being the best for dark colors.
I have found that the transfers feel haevy or plastic. Personally I don't like it so I can imagine my customers won't either. Can you offer some advice please?

Thanks!

I have sold 10s of thousands of plastisol transfer shirts over the past decades.....So your idea that your clients will not like them is not consistent with my experience.....If the designs are liked by your clients they will buy them....

I use F&M Expressions Freedom Cotton transfers and recommend that you give them a try if you find your current transfers "heavy." They do have a plastic/rubbery feel (that has been my experience with all plastisol transfers), but they are very lightweight, and my customers love them.

Chip. I would suggest trying some that are produced by a company that specializes in custom transfers. Those that we offer are similar to the feel of a direct screen print.

I am using Insta-Graphics right now. My concern is I am doing something wrong. They look great but feel like the old t-shirts from the 70's. lol

I was putting this out there because I'm not sure if I may be doing something wrong. The designs look great but the feel, to me, is heavy.

Dude Royster13 already gave you his "real world" advice. You're basically creating a problem that for all purposes may not exist. Wait for feedback from a real world "customer". Not your family, friend, etc. Then if "they" the paying customer has a problem, then you could proceed with re-thinking using Insta-Graphics.

Until then, press on!! Literally.

In most cases they will be heavier than direct screen printing.....Although as time passes and inks get better, the difference is far less noticeable than transfers from decades ago....
