    Transfer to Cotton?

    Hello

    What are the best transfer papers to print onto cotton please? I'm looking to print onto napkins and tea towels, or is there any other way, I can't screen print as I have multiple colours.

    Thank you so much.

    Yes. Talk with www.yolo.co.uk about their transfer papers. We use Soft Stretch paper to transfer onto 100% natural cotton bags. They also provide a DSF members discount.

    tea towels and napkins will be washed at 60c or higher.
    No transfere paper will last long at that ....
    ALSO - when new, the waxy finsih will prevent the tea towel absorbing wetness ....

    That's right. They keep coming up with all these wonderful methods of transferring images to cotton but never seem to be able to crack the washability problem.

    Thank you all very much, it would seem the best way is to go to a larger company to get some made.

    many thanks
