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 when you logo t shirts, 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 T Shirt transfer ink.
