Best Heat Transfer Vinyl

[quixotica 0]

Hello,

Can anyone reccomend a good heat transfer vinyl to use for making shirts? I have tried using enduratex hotmark 70 and enduratex firstmark. both of which seem to wrinke and peel after a few washes. the vinyl would be for large numbers on the back of comapany baseball team shirts and similar such projects. thanks!

Multicut from www.jotopaper.com is the best I have found.  Well that and thermoflex plus, but multicut comes in 20 inch width where thermoflex is only 15 wide.

Is thermoflex plus durable? As soon as I get a heat press I'm going to start making shirts too. I want stuff that will stay on the shirt for years, not a couple washing cycles.

It is the industry leader I'd say.  It will outlast the shirt if properly pressed, is what people say.  Honestly I have only been doing shirts for about 6 months, but the ones I have did for myself look as good as the day I pressed 'em.  But like I said earlier multicut is my choice of brands now, since it is as good as thermoflex and comes in 20 width.  Heat transfer vinyl is so expensive, that extra 5 inches makes a huge difference to me.  I do alot of 9 inch wide transfers so multicut I can get 2 transfers on the 20 inch, where thermoflex I can only get 1.

Thanks, I'll look into both.

Thanks! I ordered some thermoflex plus, hopefully this will work out better than my last attempts.

If you follow the directions and your press is good you won't have any problems at all.

Rodger. I bought mine for like $866 delivered. It is a 16 X 20 and a name brand, or a private label name brand. I got the largest name brand I could afford with out a lot of bells and whistles. I would suggest you get the biggest and best you can afford.

I have the USCutter heat press and although it is cheaper than others it works fine for me, with exception of the timer that came with it. I just use my own timer now.  I also use eco film from imprintables, but just recently received a sample of the Siser EZ weed from USCutter and was very pleased with it.
