GENERAL INFORMATION---TERMS & CONDITIONS

All transfers are sold wholesale only, for resale on printed products.

Heat Transfers                  Inkjet Paper                Blank  Shirts

  • APPLICATION OF TRANSFERS

These transfers are to be applied by a heat press, transfer machine on material which is a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend or 100% cotton.  Most transfers, with the exception of some glitter designs,  are printed at 380 - 395 degrees for 8 - 10 seconds, then peeled hot. When the time is up, release and lift up the handle right away.  Peel the transfer paper immediately.  On 100% cotton, it may require printing for 13 to 14 seconds.  This is a general guide, printing times and degrees may vary according to the transfer, the material being printed on, and the machine being used.  Most of printing is about time, temperature, and pressure.  It is a combination of all three.  Usually if you have the time and temperature within the recommended settings,  and you are having trouble with only part of the transfer staying on the shirt, you need to increase the pressure to firm pressure.  Make sure your pad is in good shape and the rubber is not torn and edges worn down.   To look at transfer designs, please go to the "Product" page and click on the different categories.

We  will soon be updating the transfer designs with size of the transfer, and the color of shirt that they can be printed on.  Sizes are not absolute, most are within the inch.   Lights will go on white, pastels, such as pink, light blue, ash, light yellows, etc.  Darks will go on black, navy, forest green, royal, etc.  Light or darks will print on most all colors.  These are general guidelines and there will be some variations to the above.  In some cases, transfers that are designed to be printed on lights or darks will have black text on them, or even part of the design that will not show up on dark shirts.  Please use judgment and discretion when printing.  Please be aware that the ink colors used in manufacturing transfers may vary with each batch printed, and the shading or color may vary from the catalog or website picture.

Some designs will have copyright or a watermark visible.  These will not be on the actual transfer.

  • PRICING

We have a 3 tier pricing schedule.  The price listed in the transfer pages on this website are per piece, per design, for an even dozen of that transfer.  For 6 - 11 pieces of a transfer, add 20 cents per piece, for 1 - 5 pieces of a transfer, add 40 cents per piece.   For example, if the price to the right of the transfer is $1.00, that is $12.00 for a dozen.  6 - 11 pieces would be $1.20 each, 1 - 5 would be $1.40 each.  Transfers may not be combined to get the dozen price.  Prices are subject to change without notice.  We reserve the right to correct typographical errors.

                                                                       These policies will help to keep our costs down, which enables us to keep our prices as low as possible.
