Plastisol Transfers

What They Are - Plastisol is a particular type of ink that is screen printed onto a special type of paper.

When the plastisol transfer is laid on a garment and both are heated, in a heat press, the ink becomes very sticky. In fact, it becomes so sticky that when the paper back is pulled off the transfer, only the ink remains.

The MAXX Press

The MAXX Press

This new Stahls' all-digital heat press series also features an over the center pressure adjustment. It looks like the Stahls' auto open press but since it does not have that feature, or a pressure sensor, it is hundreds of dollars cheaper. For a limited time, we are offering FREE freight on the 16x20, 15x15 and 11x15 MAXX presses.
