Where do you buy your custom plastisol transfers?

Why did you go with this company over the others?

What other companies have you tried?



Just for reference, here's a the list of suppliers...INTERNATIONAL

I didn't notice any peculiarities about the designs at all. Once I transferred the designs to the tshirts, they looked exactly as I had envisioned it, no glue lines, strange hazes, imperfections or anything. I guess I didn't have any of the problems others encountered.

Has anyone had issues with ordering from a company that's out of state etc. and having the plastisol transfers shipped? I'm presuming most shops keep the transfers & blanks on hand and press as the orders come in so there's no delay in shipping to the end customer.

I was hoping to find someone local (Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex) to order from but like the recommendations I see in this thread.

Just starting out and wanting to sell by word of mouth, local advertising and hopefully get a web site up, my original thought was to deal in person with someone instead of over the web. I'm open to ordering from someone's who's not in my back yard though!

Thanks for all the help!

Ok, I think I understand the answer. . . So don't worry about dealing out of state because shops that do transfers will be consistent. (Except the occasional goof.)

I'm ok with the occasional error, that's just part of anything. Long as I can get good recommendations from this site or other customers etc. That's what I'm looking for, not perfection. Thanks!

I met these guys at ISS Long Beach the past 2 years and have used them for my transfers: Horizon Products: Custom Heat Transfers Low Minimum Quick Turnaround Horizon Transfers. They are very friendly, but, best to send artwork via email, then follow-up with a phone call. I've always been pleased with turnaround times, and they bend over backwards for you. I even needed something overnight from a messup on my end and they drove to a train station for me so I could get my package before I'd even see a UPS or FedEx truck and get started right away fixing my issue. I've only had one job go bad, so I'm not too worried about that. I used to use VersaTrans, but the shipping times plus their standard turnaround times for a CA based company made things take too long, unless I expediated freight every time. Got too pricie for me.

I have been talking with Frank at Silver Mountain. He has been great! He sent the samples as promised. My first order was printed in 1 days and every single transfer worked great. Just sent him a 2nd order. So far, I'm very pleased.

Hey everyone,
We are a small shop that has been providing custom screen printed transfers for years in Miami. We ship all over, and we'll be happy to send samples of our Super Tranz - they can be applied to cotton and poly-cotton blends shirts, jerseys, nylon, polyester mesh, canvas, all kinds of bags, bathing suits, umbrellas, caps and even paper bags.

I haven't had time to upload a price sheet as, like many of us, I wear so many hats around here LOL but we do have a contract rate and a regular rate, no screen fees and a 12 transfer minimum. Call me or email me! ;)

LOL Royce you would be right except I had this great guy re-design my website for his community service hours and now the whole process is so confusing to me! The way he has it set-up template wise isn't as intuitive as I'd like it to be and I don't know Dreamweaver....any help greatly appreciated!!

My first experience with Silver Mountain was a horrible one. After beginning to work with them on a rush job that someone else failed to get done for me I sent partial artwork on Tuesday, started preparing vector art on the other part to save him some time, then we had to shut down for hurricane Isaac and could not return to work until Thursday. I sent the artwork first thing Thursday am and explained why I could not get the artwork to him because of us being shut down and out of power and asked if he could possibly get it done and sent to me Friday since I was already 1 week behind on delivering the order to my customer. Here is part of his rude response:

David, Your explanation has nothing to do with you wanting this tomorrow. We had tornandos all thru april/may this year.....I told you specically
in my response to you tuesday that we could vector and have them out friday/monday at the latest. Had you let us do that, we would be on that schedule...
you choose another route that got the vectored images fully today(btw,i wouldve had them done yesterday and had screens waiting for friday to print because we were
running ahead of schedule for a change) as it is....i believe you'd be a p.i.a customer i'd would be better off not getting involved with you... good luck in your future endeavors....

How's that for a first impression?? I then contacted Dowling Graphics, Diane was especially helpful and professional and went out of her way to help me. Thanks Dowling!!!

I have learned (and re-learned) to watch what you say -- and write. It often becomes your own P.I.A. ;)

But, that being said, I probably should tell some of my clients to bugger-off. They are really time-wasters, asking for quote after quote after quote -- and then purchasing from some internet site -- or not buying at all! OR, finally okaying the order -- and now it's a RUSH JOB and they whine about paying extra!

Once again, I just want to say that I have placed about a dozen orders with Frank at Silver Mountain, and he's been very nice, helpful and has always gotten my jobs done correctly and when he said he would (which is usually the next day!).

It's crazy that I have to order from Kentucky when I'm in Northern California, but I haven't heard of a company that can match Silver Mtn's prices and has a good reputation. That's what started this thread in the first place.
