@@rpbvid Hey Roosevelt! Nope no adhesive powder or additives in my ink. It's just a straight plastisol. If you can get your gel temp just right and not over cure it, it will release from the transfer paper without any problems. I have used Rutland / Union / Apex / Wilflex inks for this. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
Awesome! Keep safe! I’m in the same boat suppliers have shut down as of Thursday! I feel your pain. Keep safe - keep creating and I really appreciate your comment 👍

superteeprints Thanks ST, that’s awesome to hear a pity about the suppliers closing hey, but understandable. That’s great you tried the foil, I super super happy you gave it a go. Send me a DM when you try the transfer, if you get a chance.

In the sates, Tennessee.. We are running FB & IG ads to people who are in the uniform world. Construction, lawn care and such.. about the only ones ordering. :)
Across the water in Ireland, we just went in to lockdown last night. I have a delivery expected on Monday for the last job for a while, so need to coordinate that delivery under lockdown. Other than that, it'll be cleaning and organising. I might print some new shop shirts with what stock i have in. Mind yourself over there.
Oh wow, didn’t realise you were so close! 😀. Are suppliers closing down too, like here? Seems like all delivery services are thriving here. Ooooh maybe we should have a print collaboration! Stay Safe John, appreciate all your comments!
@@KeeponCreatingTV Yes, just a stone's throw away. My suppliers are your suppliers, I had to order from a more expensive and limited local supplier. I'd say they've closed up at this point now too but my stuff is in transit. I am down for any collabs, just shout and keep up the vids, learning loads.
I aspire to this way of life. To be able to make a living designing and making cool stuff with no boss… I enjoyed the video man, very cool.. I’ve no idea where all the dislikes occurred from.. apparently you can’t please everyone 🤷♂️
I want to make custom $uicide boy$ patches so bad, no one sells the ones I want and making them is so complicated. I’m so sad. Thank you for this video tho!! Blessings💕
Hello from Greece.It's the first time i see someone creating plastisol transfers without some sort of Powder! What ink you used? Flash it for how many seconds ? (140 Celsius?)
@@KeeponCreatingTV I WILL HAVE TO DO ALOT OF TRIAL AND ERROR GIVEN THAT I DONT HAVE TEMP GUN, FLASH DRYER, TRANSFER PAPERS OR A CONVEYOR DRYER. I WILL HAVE TO USE PARCHMENT PAPER AND THE HOVER FUNCTION OF MY HEATPRESS. WISH ME LUCK. I NEED TO TRY THIS FOR MY BRAND.
Great channel Mike, shout out from Houston, TX, USA. We want to start making plastisol transfers and I noticed no Adhesive powder was used to help the transfer. But can you help with what all information you placed on the design? Liked and subscribed to your channel. Stay safe!
Hey Cez!, thanks for the comment man! That's Awesome, absolutely love hearing where you all are. Keep Safe! Yup, No Adhesive powder. You can use it but make sure it's very very fine other wise it blurs the print when you press it. If you can can your gel temp right, your cruizing! What information are you looking for in the size, the wash instructions? Let me know!
Can you do a video on how you setup the print board? Not many good videos on how to make it. Also have you used the board to print shirts or only for transfers? Thanks!!!
Hey There! Sure Can, i'll plan something out and out it together! ;-). You can print a design onto the board it's just keeping it flat when printing. Almost best pratice to place something thin like a very thin piece of wood / ply on the inside of the shirt with some glue tack to hold it in place whilst printing.
Hey Tim, I wanted to mention you in the video for the Share, but bru I have no idea how to say your surname 😉. I really like the wood version, I Bought the 'ergonomic' squeegees but actually found my hands got sore from them… Which do you prefer? Thanks for the comment!
My T Shirt Printers I haven’t tried the aluminum squeegees yet, but I am going to order one and try it out. My name is pronounced like this: Mackle-Henny
Wow, really around the world. Just stay safe Art. Nope didn't use any adhesion powder. I find that if the powder isn't milled right, when pressing it blurs the print. Do you use powder?
@@KeeponCreatingTV i never do any plastisol transfer so i will test your method. thanks my friend for all the great videos. keep safe, this will pass and we will be back working again.
Hi Mike! Thanks sooo much for this video - I've just found it and it's so helpful! Do I detect a bit of a Kiwi accent in there?? ( I'm an Aussie) I'm going to have a play with this way of printing. I know I'll have an order soon for a handful of hoodies with white printing. I'm a bit of an amateur still with screenprinting... to print these hoodies the heat transfer way do I need to do anything special to make white come out better on dark green hoodies? (Sorry this question is so long)
Hey Julie! Nice to hear from you. I'm a South African, in the UK so maybe it's made my accent a little lighter haha… You'll need to double up on your white ink, so print flash print as you would if you where printing a dark garment colour. You'll need the opacity of the ink otherwise the green will show through the thin layer of white ink. :-) Thanks for comment!
Hey James! Just straight normal plastisol ink, no powder. The trick is getting the gel temp right, once you have this dialed in your off! I have used powder in the past but it tends to blur the print edge if the powder isn't fine enough. Stay Safe - Keep Creating! Thanks for the question! 🤘
Hello. Great video. I'm a screen printer by trade and just wanted to know about what mesh grade is recommended for fine print and mesh grade for block colours? Ty.
200 mesh im using for transfers. But isnt a rule for it. You need a good coat for best results. Im using polyamide powder. May be late coment but hope may help someone.
For single colour prints, not really. For multi colour better quality paper can help with less warping of the paper. When you heat the paper it can shrink and warp. So better quality can help for multi colour.
Great video! do you have a link or the actual brand and name of the the paper you are using to print the plastisol transfers on this video? i search for "the hot split transfer paper " but doesn't not show me anything. also was that just regular plastisol ink you used to print the transfer with? i also didn't see you dip the wet plastisol transfer into that white powder they use before gelling the ink.
Thanks LFE. I’ll have to try search for the actual brand name. I bought 1000 sheets of the stuff years back and have made a dent in them haha. You can step up so many prints they actually become pretty costs effective. I just use normal plastisol ink with no powder. I found the powder I had makes the image sawtoothed when heat pressed. I’ve done loads of wash tests and this method works 100%. Get the gel temp right and bam you’re off! I do have a link to my over run paper in the description but will try track down the supplier 😉
@@KeeponCreatingTV i couldn't find the link to the paper you're using on this video for transferring plastisol in the description section. if you can link that would rule. also i know you mention putting the paper through the belt dryer for shrinkage but what if you dont have one of those only a flash dryer. how long do you have to let say flash dry the paper before printing
Here we go: mytshirtprinters.co.uk/product-category/transfers/ i'll still look for the supplied. Same applies to shrinking paper under the flash, I would just pop a few sheets under for 10-15 seconds not to warp them, just to drive moisture out and let them shrink a little.
@@KeeponCreatingTV Thanks you for the reply and the link, i have to figure out what the transfer paper you're using is called here in America. they have so many different types is confusing. and most of those transfer papers are to be used with the powder and not like you used it print gel and then press it on garment.
There is another version of paper where it is slightly transparent, but give the exact results as this paper. Remember it’s just carrying the ink, so it’s still transparent 👍
You could try grease proof for single colour prints. That may work. If you sent me a message with which option you would like I can work out postage and sent you a pay link 😉
You can but it makes for a more shiny finish if you use parchment paper you’ll get a more matte finish - I’d guess he used Teflon for demonstration and because you won’t really notice a “shine” on such a small graphic

@@KeeponCreatingTV you have to use higher mesh. The ink layer is too thick, and when you press it will distort the edges- especially on small details.
Nice! Those turned out awesome. What mesh did you use? What size was the printed tag?
Hey El, That was a 43T and the size was 70mm wide (2.75 inch). Thanks for the question!

Does it matter the brand of heat transfer paper??
For single colour prints, not really. For multi colour better quality paper can help with less warping of the paper. When you heat the paper it can shrink and warp. So better quality can help for multi colour.
Hi buddy, can I use baking sheets for the transfer?
You can, but be careful with the heat as they tend to curl quiet quickly.
