We haven't done many transfers for awhile and I don't remember what really works best for plastisol transfers. We are printing single color school bus yellow on navy cotton twill hats. We are only printing between 50 an 100 so making these we should only need a few prints. We have previously used Union Ultrasoft but my concern is opacity. Will there be enough coverage with yellow on navy? Can you use a high opacity ink like Union Maxopake?
These should probably be cold peel for the coverage I would assume.
What paper is recommended? We have some that we got locally but there isn't a name or number on it. Also tried some commercial baking sheets we had ( my wife works in the commercial food industry) that worked flawlessly.
Thanks for any tips or answers on any of these questions.

I've used Maxopake or another Union product Transopake(I think) in the past, but with the new formulations, I believe that they only recommend their Mixotrans inks for opaque transfers.
Try one.
I use a Transfert paper I get from Denco which may be about the same as one Union sells called Trans-French T75.

Thanks Frog. I will need to check with Union or ICC for the inks. I wanted to use what we have in stock because there is only a very small amount needed. But if it's a usable plastisol for other stuff than it will get used.
The T75 is the standard I think. I used that way back when I first started printing.
