Plastisol transfers, how long will they last?

How exactly did they go bad?

When you press them they don't adhere to the shirt...like parts of it will just come off.

I've also had good luck with some pretty old transfers, (usually stored in zip lock bags.)
What I don't like is seeing what looks like an oil stain on the paper, indicating to me that some of the ink's plasticizer has probably leached out, and perhaps is not as supple.

I've seen that on some white transfers that I've made. Sometimes it could even be just a week after I've made one where one will have it and the next in the stack will not. As far as I can tell it has never affected anything.

I order numbers from transfer express. I can't even imagine the amount of time it would take to print my own, cut them, stack, store, only to later run out of a digit and have to reload/reprint. How much time does $100 get at your shop? I waste time with gadget diy projects haha but printing transfer numbers ranks up there with torture.

Well... my guy will print them then either he or the office manager will dust them and then she will cut them and store them.

We are gonna wait till we are slowed down a bit to really get into this.  We are winding down 4 big jobs (3 are already out the door)... so one more to go and things should be more laid back.
