Hello,

We are looking for suppliers of transfer paper to make different designs and colors on plastics. We use Fillauer and Positive Image transfers now, but are looking for more. We have seen different designs in some of the national magazines and our looking for suppiers and/or manufactures who make these. Also, If anyone has found a way to make your own designs or transfers (by hand or computer), that would be helpful too.

Thank you in advance,
Troy Stevenson, Technician

I would be most interested if you get a reply on how to print your own. I have
been told (but havn't tried) printing an image on a colour photocopier should
wprk?.

Check with Scott Orthotic labs They have some tranfer paper. Talk to Carl,
he is a technician as well and knows the stock items they have and can
get. 1 800 821-5795 is their phone number.
If you talk to Carl tell him Gary from Seattle sent you to him, kind of a
long standing joke.
I also think that you could make your own transfers up using iron on
transfer paper you can get that in large computer stores or any where that
sells computer paper.
Good luck,
gary

Probably not what you are looking for, but I've had good luck with
computer-printed t-shirt transfers in laminated sockets. My favorite leg is
covered in Davinci's skeleton drawings that I got off the net. Only problem is
you can't stretch the material much without the transfer showing cracks, so you
have to be careful in the layup. . .good luck

There is a company in the Netherlands called Begat that has a line
of transfer paper. They didn't have a North American distributor until
just recently. National Shoe Ltd is there distributor in Canada and I also
saw there was a company in the US that was distributing for them. I can't
recall the company name. Sorry I can't be of any more help. If you get any
responses to your question of making your own, I would be interested in the
feedback. If you could e-mail me, I would appreciate it greatly. If I
come across the company who distributes Begat in the US, I'll e-mail you.
Thanks and good luck
