When placing arched names over 8" numbers on the back of a split front baseball jersey, what is the recommended placement for the names? The numbers?
The same guidelines can be used when applying Express Names™ and our Easy Prints® Numbers use the same guidelines. Place the name about 4 fingers down from the neck seam with the numbers touching the Express Names™ paper.
Are there any special considerations when transferring names and numbers onto 100% polyester or sublimation dyed garments?
All of our products will adhere to 100% polyester. If the fabric was dyed you may get some bleed through since the heat will cause the garment color to sublimate further. You will want to use a transfer type that applies at a lower temperature, such as our Elasti Prints numbers.
Can I add a number to the same side of a shirt already printed with a transfer?
Yes, just position the number and cover the existing print with a cover sheet, heat apply according to the application instructions.
Can screen printed names and number be applied at the same time?
Yes, the names and numbers are designed to be applied at the same time. The release paper is printed with a grid and sized for easy alignment.
Why is it necessary to pre-heat a garment before heat applying?
Pre-heating your garment removes the chemicals and moisture that may be in the garment due to manufacturing. Also, pre-heating assures a wrinkle free surface for heat application.
If I just printed the front, can I print the back?
Our heat presses have a non-stick coating, so printing on the back is as simple as flipping the shirt over and applying the back. The front print will not be affected.
When ordering 2 color numbers: If I want purple numbers outlined in white, when I pick the color options, is it purple/white or white/purple?
The second color listed is the outline color, so purple/white is purple with a white outline.
