Transfers all day, even with lasers trying to line this up and print with HSA inks on a two ply garment would be a burden.

I think you'd pay a premium with Supacolor, as this has to be at least 1300 + pieces correct?

I'd get a sample from APEX which is closer to you anyhow, https://www.apextransfers.com/ultra-ink.php which can do gang sheets and they'll individual cut them for you as well.  Come on clear PET so easy to line up over the existing mark

I also suggest http://www.bestrims.com.hk/index.php or Qingyi https://heatransfer.en.alibaba.com/product/60723727558-807576297/QingYi_custom_offset_heat_transfer_sticker_for_clothing.html?spm=a2700.shop_plgr.41413.11.67543fa6qrHkNK or https://cstarintl.com these are all from China and will be lower cost but your timeline may not allow.

From SUPA at 4" x 4" you'd be looking at $1+ for 1000+ and Apex would be around .75 cents for the same thing, less as you do more, I like the feel of the Apex Transfer over SUPA.  I think Transfer Express would be much more expensive than both than all these options here.

It's a fix, just do a rolling delivery and save the garments, the original manufacturer should be paying you for it anyhow, saving them from having to redo the whole thing, shipping, time, ect.  I wouldn't buy more equipment to achieve this, just figure out how many a single person can produce per hour on 2 presses and give them a realistic timeline, don't make their problem your problem, be the solution.

We have two test transfers in the customers hands now, one from APEX and the other from FM expressions. They already shot down the digital print, these are very high end garments and they want the classic plastisol print.

You are close it is over 2K pcs. There is no band aiding anything it has to be the same logo that goes back on. All they are allowing me is to increase the size 5% and increase the outline slightly. It will be a slow careful process.

Money is ZERO issue ZERO. What ever it costs it costs, the manu is paying for it. Even if they come back and say their HSA testing works the client still does not want it. The garments are in the US already, the summer is half way through. They want these back on the shelfs as soon as is reasonable.

A number of years ago, we printed on some sort of styrofoam (but not actual styrofoam) for displays for Reebok, and getting the ink to stick was pretty much impossible, until a vendor that sold screen and pad printing supplies sent us a sample of a primer, clear of course, and that made it happen. They were in the Northeast, possibly Imtran, though they may have had a different name then.

How about any transfer have a colour border the same color as the fabric, maybe sell it to them as a tone on tone hi light feature
