Custom heat transfers from Best Heat Transfers are screen printed with plastisol ink on a special release paper. Custom heat transfers using plastisol inks give you the flexibility of printing on t-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags and more.
There are several advantages when considering custom plastisol heat transfers
Custom heat transfers are printed as spot color inks as well as CMYK aka four color process inks such as Aqua Color HD formula. You can choose from several stock ink colors without incurring any extra charges for custom ink mixing. Plastisol transfer inks can be custom mixed to match a specific pantone ink color, however the color matching may look different on your fabric due to garment dye migration. To help stop the dye migration problem, you can choose a different plastisol transfer formula such as Polyester Athletic Formula heat transfers. This formula adds a special dye blocking adhesive which keeps the dye in your fabric from bleeding through the plastisol transfer ink.
