Thank you

we can do them but they blow moosenuts. . . ;) they feel like rubber on the shirt. Specialty Materials is the product we have in stock, PITA to work worth too. . .but we can run off a few if needed.

i talked to Homer one time about making digital transfers.  my customer never finalized the order so I didnt get to order any but I'd say check with him.

Ace transfers might be able to help.  Their printed transfers are great.

Only since Homer doesn't like his.

For digital, I run my own inkjet transfers. They work great. I only do ones that work on white or light, and remember that you probably want five panel hats rather than the more common six

Hmmm, never heard that one. I would assume that would be in the same category of sorrier than a wino's ass.

I think yours beat him out.  But that's just me.   :-\

Hey gang
Thanks for the help.
Homer, I need a shirt load so the PITA material probably will not work. Interested in the moosenuts thing though, I may be in love or I could be depending on how the moosenuts thing goes. ::)

Andy, crap I never thought of that,  one of the jobs I have is light colored so off to Staples for transferpaper...thank you that will work!

gonna call Ace , Stalhs is OK but they are SNOOTY and stuck up and don't like my stupid questions, they really need some customer service training.
Trans Exp I know is a Stahls co but much nicer people  except they screwed up my last order 100+ pieces, they ADDED background in the art that nobody wanted then I had to proove they did it...... in their defense they did fix the problem once I helped them understand they were the problem.   
Thanks all for the help.

respectfully
mooseman

Hey Mooseman, I use Stahl's and Transfer Express a lot, and haven't had any issues yet, maybe you've had bad luck, but my customers have been very happy with the product. Like  Andy, I make some here too for light garments and shirts. but I get the CadPrintz a lot, and it's a nice product. I've also used their photo prints for high quantity apron jobs with full color. Aprons usually have a texture that really messes up fine detail, and the transfers cure that.

 Hey Moose, on a hat, both hand and durability may not be as much of an issue as with shirts, but I am very happy both of those qualities with Jet Pro Soft Stretch from Neenah Papers.

Steve & Andy,
Thanks for the support.
On Stahls I just seem to have a thin skin for the attitude????? Maybe the 3 or4 times I called I just bumped into a person having a bad day or I come off like an idiot on the phone also. It is a strong trait with me, the idiot thing, I get the DEE DA DEE treatment :P

Gonna look into Neena Papers, thanks Frog.
