Hello, we sell small planters for plants.
And we want to start personalize service.
Most of our planters are 4" and less, and it is cylinder or rectangular shape.
However some planters are curved or patterned shape. Plz check attached pictures.(I just googled and copy and paste similar planter we have)
Attached pictures

planter5- 2" glass cylinder) I don't have pictures. however it is just reg 2" glass cylinder.
I have searched online, and I found that there are many ways to print on planters.
Printable heat transfer vinyl(HTV) vs Vinyl
HTV vs Sublimation
Heat Press / Oven / 3D vacuum heat press.
And I also found that different kind of printers are used for each type
Sublimation printer(like Sawgrass), or Epson printer
Cricut
regular printers
Vinyl printer
Can you let me know which method is the best methods for us?
We expect to get 5-10 personalizing service a day, and hopefully get more order.
By the way I heard from someone that I can print on only polycoated planters.
I'm not sure if our planters are polycoated or not.
If our planter are not polycoated, is there no way to print on those planters?
I found that there are so many method.
Is there a article or Youtube video which cover and compare all methods, good for newbie?
One last question.
I heard from someone that harmful gas can occur when we do Heat press(transfer).
Do you guys use ventilation fan when you do heat press(transfer)?
Thank you.
