Yes trouble is I didn't use a teflon sheet in my haste, now its transfering from the platen to the garment if its not 100% covered.

We dont do enough to warrant a second press, and I shouls get some teflon sheets the covers the entire bed.

<r>In my stupidity, I've pressed 10 high vis vests, and the top cover sheet didn't cover the entire press. <br/>
<br/>
All was fine until I've come to press some white shirts, and find myself with a yellow halo around the graphic on the garment :rolleyes:<br/>

Lesson learnt, but what's the ...

Depends how long you want them to last, but for as a general rule we laminate everything that's going on a vehicle, also helps applying it as it's much more manageable.

<r>Yes you can layer vinyl to make up multi coloured decals, but registration is an issue and the adhesive make's it more challenging than transfer film. <br/>
<br/>
There's also the time it takes, it's often much quicker and easier to just print a 2col job, unless there's a reason not to.<br/>
<br ...

<t>We're prominently digital printers (large and small format) as well as producing vehicle graphics, and whilst not the cheapest printer in town, have established a nice client base. We use Clarity to work our prices, and generate quotes, and it doesn't quite work with the DyeSub set up.<br/>

Yes learnt yesterday not to put the zips on high vis vests in the press!

Cheers!

That solves that question! Wish I had put them on my order from Xpres now!

I've done some searching around, and can't seem to find a standard size plastic ID card blank.

Xpres do a metal, but any ID cards I have seen have been plastic. Seems they're available for desktop ID printers, not sure it'll work with the heat from the press?

Hi Iain, yes that's me!

Heatpress being delivered tomorrow so then the fun really starts!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

We specialise in vehicle graphics, and have a solvent machine, even with solvent ink I would strongly suggest getting them laminated as the ink will scratch, and it will fade perhaps not for a few years.
