What is Single Image and how does it differ from Gang Sheets?
Goof Proof Single Image is an ordering option where you can purchase Goof Proof custom transfers with only one image per sheet as opposed to the Gang Sheet ordering option where you can fit as many images onto the sheet as you can fit, either the same or different images.
What is a gang sheet?
A gang sheet is a transfer sheet with more than one image on it, and all the same ink color. The images can be the same art just different size or different images. To use, you simply cut out the image needed and apply. Because we are putting more than one image on the sheet, a gang sheet can be very economical.
How do your prints compare to screen printing?
Our Goof Proof®, Goof Proof® Premium, Goof Proof® Watermark, Elasti Prints®, Hot Split Retro, Glow-in-the-Dark, AquaTru, Reflective, Silicone, and Puff transfers are all screen printed using plastisol or water-based inks. Our transfers are just as durable as direct screen printing.
Which ink formula should I use?
The choice is based on the fabric you are printing on. Goof Proof® is the best-selling plastisol screen printed transfer for cotton and cotton/poly blends. It has great opacity, durability, and a soft feel. Elasti Prints® is best when you need to apply to heat sensitive 100% polyester at a lower temperature.
On what types of fabrics can screen printed transfers be applied?
Screen printed transfers can be applied to cotton, polyester, or poly/cotton blends.
