    hi gav,
    Xpress are the best suppliers, i think we have tried all the rest magic touch etc. 01332 85 50 85 or http://www.xpres.co.uk . they do all
    types of transfers and vinyls for heat press’s, also try graphitypt for
    heat press vinyl it is good too work with and comes in rolls not sheets.

    Gav,

    Chris is right Xpres seem to be the best, wide range of materials and all ex-stock. I have found that trial and error can be the best way to get the best results with their materials- different types on different fabrics & which one is best suited certain logos and designs.

    I use Xpres for some stuff but it’s worth getting information from others. Victory for example do some Flock colours that no one else stocks and it’s quite a bit thinner. Not to everyones taste but great for putting colour on colour. Dorotape do a nice flock but limited colour range.

    My biggest complaint with Xpres of late is that they insist on ready cut 5 metre or 1 metre lengths. A right pain when you have 50 breast logo’s in a little used colour and you can’t just buy the 2 metres you need! Flock for those who don’t know goes off in time and seperates form the backing so you can’t keep it in stock for a long time.

    Try Target Transfers in Essex, I use xpress for my budget T-shirt papers, they are very kind to my Ricoh copiers, but Target for all my cadcut stuff, good range and a new product that is extremelly durable and very good value for money on aprox.A2 sheets, paper backed. Give them a ring they will fill you in on the names etc. They will send you one if thats what you want.

    They also do a fantastic range of licenced readymade full colour transfers, worth asking for a catalogue.
