Heat pressed numbers....
whitewater:
ok..thanks guys..
I just saw that someone had maybe vinyl numbers and they looked alot better then the ones I use...Maybe I'll watch the heat more closely....

I use the stahls a lot , die cut thermofilm without any problems. I sell to marketing companies and offer them white and black numbers in stock at all times. Colours are charged out higher and I really push the team packs. Intrestingly 90% of my orders are B&W. I really couldn't see the value in printing numbers and the time involved cleaning screens for colour changes , the videos I have seen don't look that quick, Ironing usually takes less than a minute a shirt and then your done no cleanup. also those machines take up alot of space.

I hate cutting my own numbers. I'd rather order the packs and be done.

I was told years ago that they were cut with a CNC water jet...even on the twill...how it cuts and does not make anything wet...was explained by how fast the water jet was traveling.
Ripcord:
I use Thermo Film too. I used to print numbers before I got a heat press and I still print them if someone wants a color I don't have and the job is a rush...Or if someone wants something cute like 1/2 or 420 for their number (I've actually done both of those...)
mk162:
Try thermo-grip, it's a lot better for pesky fabrics and I find hold better to cotton as well. It's better than stocking both in most cases.
