Title: Glossy finish plastisol
Post by: Sbrem on November 01, 2021, 01:43:03 PM
So years ago, when I first started, we used to have a "glossy" finishing sheet for transfers, which, as the name suggests, put a glossy finish on transfers. Fast forward to today, and I'm looking one that would work on plastisol prints already on a shirt. Anyone?
Also, I'm thinking of adding a Knight DKP Twin shuttle to a DK press I have, does anyone have any experience with one of those, good or bad? It seems we are doing more and more transfer work, and anything that speeds it up is a good thing...

The teflon sheets seem to add a bit of gloss. (while the brown kraft paper cover sheet dulls a bit)

You can print a clear base on top of the design. I use HD clear.
