    Can anyone recommend some companies in the UK who can produce high quality heat transfers of full colour designs ( for t shirts) for use on a heat press?

    Thanks

    How big are the designs?
    as with a decent printer you can produce your own, we use an epson R1800 and xpres dark jet transfer sheets, they’re expensive by the box but if you use them a lot its not too bad
    If its a big run or you need high temperature (ie 90 deg) washing or tumble drying use target or revolution, I recently got a quote from target for some small transfers and they worked out quite cheap but will depend greatly on how many you need.
    The guy to speak to at revolution is called Jan, (pronounced yan)
    Hes very helpful.

    Hi
    Target tend to do Plastisols which I find annoying – I Import nowadays from the US as The Transfer Press are beyond shoddy – they sent a £3000 order to a different address last month. Take my advice and buy from the US – they have a much better range.

    I have had some from Target Transfers, they offer a range of different papers/transfers not just plastisol, depends on the fabric its going onto and whether or not it is dye subbed etc.

    I’d recommend them any time, turn round was pretty fast too. I also print my own, depends on how busy I am and the number required. I use Targets Softjet for lights and Evolution2 for darks and had no probs. I get dye sub paper from Subli-Nation.
