Digital transfers for darks?

(1/3) > >>

mk162:
Who does really good digital transfers?  I have a customer that wants to do them as he goes, and this is the best option if we can find a good way

Frog:
There are products out there that have you print ink jet or laser, right reading onto a white sheet that then gets trimmed. Awkward on odd shapes, good idea to print shirt color outline to help with the trim.
Myself, I have been unhappy with the adhesion to the shirt, but thousands of folks use 'em successfully.

For odd shapes, if you can handle a little more hand, cad-color is the way to go.

Otherwise, does the design require digital? If not, folks like Ace make some nice plastisol transfers.

mk162:
These are odd shapes, and I haven't been impressed with what I have seen.  It would work better if I had a dark shirt DTG, but I don't.

Frog:
I forgot to mention a product from Neenah, which, though I have a sample, have not tried yet. It is one of their two-part Image Clip products which essentially just sticks an adhesive on the printed area, solving the trimming issue.
I suggest you look at Paper Ranch or Coastal or Neenah itself for a sample.
