What Is A Screen Printed Transfer? | Plastisol Ink Heat Transfers Explained

New to heat printing t-shirts with a heat press? Maybe you're looking to upgrade from your Cricut and Heat Transfer Vinyl? Or, maybe you saw someone printing transfers on Tik Tok that looked too easy to be true?

Well, you're in the right place, because today we're diving into what is a screen printed transfer. At Transfer Express, we've been the leading supplier of Custom Screen Printed Transfers for over 30 years.

Screen Printed Plastisol Transfers are the easiest way to print t-shirts. Not only do they use the same plastisol flexible and durable inks traditionally used to print onto t-shirts, but they take 90% of the work and learning curve out of starting your own t-shirt business- from home, a dorm room, a basement or even a closet!

How do you align the t-shirts to make sure the images are the same on all shirts? Example using a middle chest image

[everyoneisonsteroids]

I was wondering if there is a fool proof method to get transfers to actually last as long as real direct to garment screen printing. We have had a lot of problems in the past with transfers coming off after washing. We have found that it is pretty easy to run into problems with a not so focused heat press operator. A way to run transfers trough the conveyor after pressing to really bake them onto the shirt would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does it feel a little rubber or is it in the shirt like regular sp

where would i get a sheet the size of a skateboard

What about garments like Maroon, Red, and Royal blue cotton that normally take two passes of white? If I apply a screen print transfer to any of those color shirts dye migration will set in. I checked the site to do 25 full-color transfers. If they are screen printed I do not know because it asked me about a white outlinie? But at 9.00 per print that is exactly what my profit is to do each shirt screen printed. I see no way to make money in this manner. I can not double the customer's cost. So how does this work for a screen printer when they are looking for relief when too busy to set up a 5 color job? How does anyone make money using this service if you charge their profit. I am not trying to be a jerk, it is a legitimate question.

[goodnessodunayo]

[ValleGirlBeauty]

But how are the transfers actually made - I know what it looks like when it’s going on shirts but what does the set up/machine look like to actually make the transfers?

[alexrivera]

Can we use the Goof Proof Screen Printed Transfers on 95-100% polyester?

[dustyroadsdecor]

If you order an existing graphic do you still need to pay for the setup fee since it’s already been done?

[Cigarprop]

I have some Goof Proof prints from you and I was wondering if there was a limit to how many times they can be pressed.
I need to be able to press one image and peel it to line up a second image that will go slightly above the first one.
I know I will need to cover the first image to protect it when I press a second time.
Then I need to do this a third time.
So the first image will have been pressed 3 times when all is said and done.
Will that first image be ok?
This is for a custom run of shirts that a client wants. They wanted to combine several of my designs into one.

Would this cover a design on the unsold T-shirt? I helped out with fundraising and we have 75 shirts left. I was thinking of making a new design to cover the old ones. Let me know.

[marthatrujillo]

Do I need a certain heat press machine for screen print transfer?

[nvibnxy]

Does these transfer feel like a screen print or more of a vinyl feel.

[giftedhands]
