Cad Cut or Plastisol Transfers?

[Prosperi-Tees]

On 100% poly green mesh jerseys. They want a gold/yellow color. Will plastisol transfers work with the holes? I am thinking of ordering them from Transfer Express. Or I could Cad Cut them but would block the holes defeating the purpose of the holes.

Is there someone on the west coast that does them? I need them by friday at the latest.

Wellington House in Oregon does most of the Stahls stuff out here on the left coast. They can do either.
Friday is still pushing it though.

It's probably too late for Friday delivery. When we're used their transfers on mesh, some of the holes fill in, and some don't...

How about printing these things? Do you lay down a sheet of paper or something on your platen or do you just clean them after each print?

[Frog]

A sheet of transfer paper (or baking parchment) that makes the trip through the dryer with the shirt is a pretty common way

Butcher paper is awesome for this.  For years we printed porthole mesh football jerseys used for practice this way.  Depending on what sport this is for, you will want an athletic ink formula.

We print these all the time. Not my favorite thing to do, but it works. We normally use transfer numbers also. It works, but we have put an extra teflon sheet between the 2 meshes so they don't transfer over. Takes forever. I hate basketball season, but luckily we don't do them often.

Its for a baseball team. Is athletic formula the only that will work?

Oh, those are way easier. We use One Stroke Athletic Gold and that stuff has the consistency of clay, no joke. It is like cement, but it has excellent bleed resistance. Most of the ink we use is all athletic since that is really all we ever do. I like to use those cotton test squares on the pallets when we do mesh.
