    Hi Guys,

    I cant think of the one I am using but I for the life of me I have yet to find one that is really thin and that doesn’t have a really heavy feel to it.

    It is ok for small sized transfers but when it comes to large ones its a whole different story.

    I have been on the look out for a thin, soft feeling digital transfer vinyl for a long time but all to no avail.

    Darren……….

    Hi Derek, have you tried doing it using the thin subli flock? If its a big design then flock might be softer than printed vinyl. Cut the flock in the plotter first and then print. A bit fiddly but it works.
    Just a thought .

    There appears to be some new materials for which I´m awaiting samples.
    Before buying anything, speak to Victory Design and Target Transfers.
    They´re both very helpful.

    Good luck, Chris A.
