Do they want these to apply themselves?
If so, do they have a real press, or are they the Suzy Homemaker hand iron type?
-
Yes they want to press them themselves, I don't know what equipment they have, but they are a biker club.

If I were you, I'd ask.If only a hand iron, I'd also pass that info on to whoever you use, to make sure that full instructions include that, if indeed they will even work that way.
Otherwise, you know who they will blame.
Been there, done that.

Frog, he said they are a biker club. I'm guessing they have the man power to press the iron down hard enough. ;)
On second thought, why does a biker club have an iron?
-
LOL you notice I'm trying to get out of any blame, I could do them but what you just said makes me want to pass this on, I feel like everytime they screw one up they will be calling me asking for another free transfer since that one didn't work :o, but I will ask them that, good heads up Andy thanks.

.15 to .30 each is pretty cheap for 20 to 30 pieces even with a screen charge. The paper will run them .05 to .15 each depending on what kind they use. And with it being a Biker Club there is a good chance they will be going on black shirts so depending on the color ink they may need dbl hit or even underbased. I would also like to thank 3Deep for not calling them a gang but a club on behalf of the bikers I know and have associated with in the past.

Or, give them the website for FM Expressions, Ace or Transfer Express, and let them go direct. Then, it's not your fault at all.

Thanks all, they just wanted to do stuff local if at all possible, I gave them FM #, but we still might work with them if they don't go that route.
-
For that matter, screening one color transfers yourself is no biggie.
-
printing these is EASY and would take you like 10 minutes.
-
Yes, they are very easy to do, you just need the paper, and maybe get the powdered glue to help make it easier for them to iron. And of course, test it yourself. This is how we do our hats, it really is pretty easy...

I'd recommend the glue, it makes it braindead easy to apply them after the fact. For one colors you dont even have to worry about the paper shrinking in the dryer or lining anything up. Yout just plop the paper down, stroke once, pour on some glue crystals, tap it off, and go.
cure them at 200-220 for about 30 seconds tops.
