Artwork Lines & Spaces
 
Because these are screen print process iron-on transfers and in most cases they will be printing on clothing garments and not on paper, we recommend your artwork lines and spaces be 48 points minimum size. The reason is to ensure the lines are thick enough to adhere (glue) to the fabric, and the spaces are wide enough because screen printing inks do expand a little. View our Line and Space Size Recommendations below.

Q: what is an Order Job Sheet? 
 

A Job Specifications Sheet (Spec-Sheet) is what we need to start pre-production for all Custom Transfer Jobs or for Providing Price Quotes.

Q: I need 25 sheets large size, can I gang?
 

Yes, with Design Ganging you can group designs within each job sheet using the same job colors. 

We do recommend clients leave about 1 inch (2.5cm) between designs.  

The 25 qty is possible but it will raise your cost per sheet very high.

You are better off spending a little more and start with the 50 sheet quantity.

It is also important to inform us of:

the artwork color quantity, since our prices are based on the sheet size, colors per sheet and total sheet quantity.

Transfer Prices are based on the Sheet / Art Size and on the artwork colors per sheet. 

Transfer Prices ARE NOT based on how many designs can FIT inside the transfer sheet aka as Gang Sheet.

 

Q: What is a Gang Sheet ?

 

In the Custom Printing Trade, Design Ganging or Gang Sheet means grouping various designs within a certain Sheet Size. Often these Gang Designs are cut OFF the Gang Sheet to be printed individually on shirts etc.

For this reason it is important to leave squared-off space between designs in the Gang Sheet Layout in order to make it easy to cut them off the Gang Sheet and to apply. 

 

Q: Do they need to be cut around the design? do they wash off?

 

There is NO CUTTING AROUND THE DESIGN OR EDGES of your image design, ONLY the design prints on the shirt.

 

Q: Are Plastisol transfers the best to apply with a heat press?

 

These plastisol transfers can be applied with a heat press or home iron.

The heat press is required with plastisol transfers and other transfer types when printing Large Size Graphic Designs, or when printing large quantities of t-shirts for example. 

 

Q: How many times can each be use? Can they be stored?

 

They can only be used one time.

Actually a good and perfect application is when all of the ink come off the transfer paper after they have been applied.

Plastisol Transfers have a long shelf life in normal environmental conditions and can be used up as needed for a long time.

Do not expose them to high temperatures  and direct sunlight or extreme cold for a long period of time. 

 

Q: Can you do white color designs on dark shirt colors?

 

Yes, to print on all colors is one one the best features.

We ship Custom Plastisol transfers worldwide to all friendly nations.

On average, a package under 2 kilos Via priority mail with tracking number,  is delivered 5-10 days to most countries after it come out of production and shipped out from our facility.

It is important to account the transit time, holidays and other issues that may arise to ensure on time delivery to complete the project.

Fast 1-2 day shipping via Fedex and other overnight service may end up costing more than the transfers made. 

 

Q: What is the minimum sheet quantity per custom order? 

 

Our minimum for custom plastisol job order starts at 50 sheets makes the overall cost per transfer very good. 

We recommend a 50 sheet quantity per custom job. Custom job means 50 sheets of the exact same artwork on the sheet.
