Need foam front trucker caps

<< < (2/3) > >>

royster13:
The best way to print caps is "pad printing".....And no doubt tying up a t-shirt press to do caps is wrong if that press time can be better used for doing it's intended purpose.....But if you have free press time best to put it to use doing something....

ffokazak:
Cleary you cant dye sub a black hat...

But one stroke of a squeegee on a single head manual can make about 15 plastisol transfers that can be pressed on the hats...

Im not saying don't do it, and I love actions products, just saying that in my opinion... I think methods other than direct printing are easier and we would be unlikely to switch from the current processes we use.

Frog:
As I said, I figured that this would prompt a more general discussion on hat decoration.
I too, use heat seal even though the owner of a single color flat type hat press (that I have never quite figured out. May need to dig out and revisit)

ffokazak:
Exactly.

When a brand new 13$ an hour base level employee can learn to make hats in about ten minutes,  and with two heat press that employee is doing one every 15 seconds.... it makes zero sense to mess with that equation

Sbrem:
we find making transfers to be best. That being said, we printed thousand of trucker hats on a Livingston Champ on a Rototex. I've also used curved screen systems. But as ffokazak said, one squeegee pull is a dozen or more transfers...
