Layering vinyl for shirts

[windyash]

Hey , ive been doing a few single coloured logos etc on shirts and hoodies and have been asked to do a 3 colour design next , what is the best way to layer this ?

Should I press each colour individually or is there another method so i can do it in one press ?

Thanks

no, you cant do it in i press, depends on who's vinyl you are using, but some press slightly less for layering, best to speak to your supplier, as some colours/vinyls cannot be layerd, so you need to cut clever the design, if you use the "search" function on here you will see more discussions on it

Ok thanks , been using Hotflex from MDP as I use them for sign vinyl ........ will have a search

We layer hotflex from MDP on a regular basis...haven't had any problems with it. Usually press each layer for about 8 seconds, and then a final press of the lot when finished.

If the logo is intricate/small weeding/overlay problems why not go for printed vinyl transfers? Either myself, Socialgiraffe orJason can do these. PM me if I can be of assistance.
