Great news Dave, I also like the progress you have made in your business in a relatively short time. I wish you all the best mate.... now I need to move on to some other newbie to rip off :wink:

Following on from our texts, you asked about garment films. You need to trial all of them and see what one is your favourite. For example I mainly use Soldark by TMT but either Siser or Ralawise application tape as I like that combination and it really works for me. RogerC I think prefers Siser everything.

They are all pretty much the same for durability etc so its a personal preference that will probably decide.

here is a list of the companies that I know of

Siser (sold by Grafitype)
Target Transfers
The Magic Touch
Ralawise (now selling their own print and cut)

I am sure there are others which can be added to the list.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing you continue to grow the business.

You're spot on there SG. Having seen Siser at the Printwear and Promotion show I was sold on it. I accept there are other products out there but being 'lazy' (hehe) I figure looking around for other products to save a penny here and there isn't worth my time. I particularly like the Siser with the 'stretch' properties........much nicer than normal non stretch/crack vinyl.

Anyway Dave............congrats on the new machine purchase.....and like SG said you're 'growing' very nicely mate. Well done. World domination looming........:biggrin:

I used to be a Siser fan but got fed up with the amount of different transfers they have. Not being one for clothing it became a nuisance for me, that said, I do think Siser films are really nice and I may have to have a look at the two news ones just released. Out of interest Roger, have you tried Soldark from TMT?

I am loving that particular vinyl to work with and they have just released a crystal version.

Hi SG....not tried that one but looking at the web info it does look interesting. I might have to give it a go. Cheers for the info.
