Transfer Express Numbers...

[Maff]

We use pre cut vinyl numbers from Stahls. They have many options for all different types of materials. Never had any issues....

Ditto here, have had numerous problems in the last few months with certain new number packs either not adhering properly or very very low opacity.

Pierre, didn't you say someone from there was coming to these boards to address this, its real, that's why people keep coming forward.

Lot's of issues recently.  We've used them for years without much to complain about but within the last year the product has gotten so bad I'm ready to bail on them.  I think the vinyl cut numbers might be our next option.  We have so many numbers that have huge chunks missing and opacity has been a real issue for poly garments.  Seems like the issues we have would disappear with the cut material, whether it's actually vinyl or some other material. 

A couple months back we had an issue with white bella t's, a high end shirt with a very tight, smooth weave.  The numbers would not adhere no matter how long, how hot, or how much pressure.

I reached out to their publicist and forwarded the link. 'have not heard anything back.

2 freakin years ive been dealing with these issues. Do not seem to have a problem with the numbers releasing on 100% poly, but damn when i put it on a 50/50 its just crap.

Ive called all the time about this.

Ive been using them since i started about 10 years ago. No problems with anything until about 2 years ago. I called to see if they changed something and they said no..

They said its my heat press, ummmmm  not its not.

[dirkdiggler]

they are lying, and yes they did change something, about a year or 2 ago they changed the name of whatever they call the different kinds of numbers, they said it was only a name change, but the problems started happening shortly after.  They should have to pay for all the jerseys that get ruined and the business we lose because you never know how they will look until its to late.  Used to be AWESOME!  But now its junk.

[dirkdiggler]

its pretty obvious that they are not going to address these issues, I will show up at their booth in Nashville with a stack of the SHITE numbers and have them apply them right there on the floor with a crowd watching.  Trust me, this will happen!  Anyone coming to Nashville that wants to join me, let me know.  The more the better.

You can add me to the list of "unhappy".  Placed the number 13 on a jersey, the 1 was so thin and the the 3 was fine, looked pretty stupid on the shirt.

lol this is such a good idea.  If they have like half a dozen shops show up throughout the day all making a scene about their shitty numbers I bet it would get at least some attention...

Just received this from them.




Hi

We haven’t had any issues and haven’t changed anything.  Could the shirt be sublimated?  If so you would need sub block numbers.      Let me know what you are numbering and I can help


 Thank You

That is a piss poor response right there........ Looks like we might need to start making printed numbers LOL

Hi

We have not changed anything but you do need to get the right product for the job.   We can help, if using sublimated polyester like dirkdiggler is using, the shirts are changing and we do have different products for the new shirt types, but it is not goof proof.


 Thank You

If it is 100% polyester have you tried  Elasti Prints which are specifically made for this material and apply at a lower temperature to   I can send you a white sample, I think it will work better.  As polyester has got more popular the material is changing to achieve low cost points.    We developed Elasti Prints and Sub Block for this purpose.


 Thank You

in there defense, they are trying to give me answers, but the issue is opacity.   Every printer here with these problems knows that.  I have a stack of numbers to show them and I will.  Again, just seeking solutions, not problems.
