not a clue Kaz i've never really done anything like this before :)
i would have to use the transfer paper for dark as it is a full colour image they want with quite a lot of detail
it's the stuff you print from an inkjet printer then press onto dark cotton T's

I would use flex for text and transfer paper for image,

sign vinyl wouldn't stick to a bag

well i've done it :)
and i'm glad to say it came out pretty good
i done a test press on the padded strap as if it went wrong it could've been removed
the material was ok but the edging melted slightly at 160c

so i used the paper i had but noticed on the instructions it said at min 50% cotton
and when i pressed it and tried to remove the greaseproof the transfer came with it slightly
so i put another on top with an iron, made sure i lined it up exactly and it came out great thankfully

and the flex i used pressed brill and has stuck great too
pity i only had a dark red in flex though cos i think a lighter red would've looked better against the dark blue but hey ho
the customer was really happy with them and wants 10 more :D woo hoo
