Loved the detailed video. Thank you for taking all this effort to teach us. God bless you and your team abundantly always 🙂🙏🏼❤️

Thanks for supporting our products and buying the supplies. We've explored options but, haven't found the right concoction of adhesive quite yet. We don't want to put a product on the market that could back fire on our customers.

Best video I have found online about Plastisol Heat Transfers. I love how everything is explain clearly. You have made my brain hungry for more learning. Thank you so much for sharing.

If you don't want a lot of build up then you should just print your design directly to a shirt using standard screen printing method. Regardless of mesh size you'll still need a thick stencil of emulsion to make this proccess work. Although, I will add that when you heat press the t-shirt at the end it does flatten out the design and make the ink fee a bit softer.

I use this method for my ebay business and it's great!! I get everything from ryonet. The only bad thing is after printing over 100 transfers a day it gets really dusty. Wish you guys had an ink that wouldn't need the powder.

Ive learned that re-heatpressing for 2-3 seconds without the transfer paper but with a teflon sheet instead removes all excess adhesion powder residue.

Nice video. We do enjoy using the Ryopaque inks in our shop. Works better on a lot of shirts instead of having to setup another screen with a white under base.

[Ryonet]

Mark the screen and at the top of each section write 4 minutes, 6, 8 and 10. Produce a piece of art with type, shapes and even some halftones and place it in the 4 minute section, cover the remaining 3 sections with the black sheet; expose for 4 minutes.After the initial exposure move your art and sheet to the next section, covering the 4 minute section with a light safe sheet as well, you only want the 6 minute section exposed to your light source.

Our pleasure. We mention in the video that there are multiple ways of accomplishing plastisol heat transfers, with that said we just suggest this method because, we have the most experience and highest consistency of success applying this method. Perhaps you should try buying the products listed above in the description and let us know your results. We'd love to see how your theory works out for you. Keep us posted.

Its a good explanation as i was only learning the photoresist process never thought about special transfer paper just onto fabrics. But i guess once you got it transferred onto a screen you could transfer onto anything metal, glass, plastics, ...etc as long as you have the proper paints, sealers, ...etc for the type of object. Because the screen is the stencil at that point.

Honestly wash tests we've done have shown that plastisol heat transfers last less time. Although the ink is the same you're throwing the Adhesive powder in the mix. The adhesive powder is what makes the plastisol re-stick to the t-shirt. When the adhesive powder breaks down in the wash the plastisol losses it's bind to the t-shirt. When you screen print directly to the t-shirt there's no adhesive required for the ink to stick to the t-shirt.

I did see another video about storing the transfer paper in a plastic air tight container. Then adding a couple of salt bags, the ones you get in a new sneaker box. That way they will last longer.

Willflex makes great inks, so I wouldn't doubt so. Super good brand. We just prefer the adhesive powder so we don't have to mix inks before we put it on the screen.

Great Video Ryan! Looking forward to make Transfers with ur Products! Thanks!!!

[FictionFigure]

Great video man!  You should do a video on screen printing skateboards if you can.  

[mihumus]

Nice explanation, thanks for sharing!

There's a lot of factors that go into an exact number. Around 10-20 washes. Have you tried our R20 Water-based inks??? Great water-based ink!
