photomom 0 Posted April 24, 2009 I have ordered a heat press and am going to start experimenting with shirts. I have been reading LOTS of posts here. What is perferred...sisser or thermoflex? And why? Are they equals? Thanks in advance. Dianne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renegade 2 Posted April 25, 2009 Siser is thinner, but a bit more shiny. I like them both really, but tend to buy Thermoflex more because I can buy it in the 19" width and the Siser Easy weed only comes in 15". Might want to look at some alignment tools (I use Tee Square It! from www.heatpressessentials.com), pressing pads (kinda like mouse pads), good scissors (I like teflon Fiskars), misc. cutting tools, maybe some silicone parchment paper and/or teflon sheets. Also, if you order vinyl, be sure to ask for swatch cards so you'll have samples of the colors to use as reference for what you are ordering and generally handy to have. I have a set of Siser, Thermoflex, & Multicut. Just a note, you didn't mention Multicut from www.jotopaper.com, but its my favorite. Its similar to Thermoflex and comes in 20" width, but has more of a matte finish than the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
