When plastisol is worth considering
AMS custom plastisol transfers are one color only. A spot color means one selected ink, such as a solid navy, rather than a photo made from many colors.
The order wizard calls this path Single Color Bulk. For photographs, gradients, or designs that need several colors, choose the full-color DTF path instead.
Understand the two quantities
Count the usable prints, not just the sheets. Different design sizes can fit different numbers of copies. Check the preview rather than assuming a fixed number fits.
Use the minimum, setup charges, and current prices shown for your selected order. A sheet-count example is not a minimum-order promise.
| Setting | What it means | Example only |
|---|---|---|
| Copies per sheet | How many prints fit on one sheet | 4 copies |
| Sheet quantity | How many sheets you buy | 10 sheets |
| Total prints | Copies per sheet × sheet quantity | 4 × 10 = 40 prints |
Prepare the design and ink choice
Use crisp artwork at its final print size. Keep a single-color design as one solid color without gradients. Save the original file so you can check small details.
The builder supports preset ink choices and a custom PMS choice. PMS is a color reference code. Check the selected ink name or code; a screen display alone is not a physical ink sample.
Use Single Color Bulk
Open Start an order → Transfers to DIY
Choose Single Color Bulk. This is the plastisol path in the current wizard.
For plastisol, the order wizard uses the name Single Color Bulk. Add and size your design
Use Upload my designs now, then Upload Designs in the builder. In Upload Design, check Width, Height, Qty, and the artwork choice, then choose Add to Gang Sheet.
Select the ink
Choose the available preset or custom PMS option. Review the ink selection before adding the sheet to the cart.
Check the sheet layout and quantity
Count prints per sheet, then set how many sheets you need. Review the total print count and the price.
Review the cart and checkout
Confirm plastisol, ink, print size, sheet count, artwork review, delivery, and the current total before paying.
What if my design has several colors?
Use DTF for a multi-color design. AMS custom plastisol ordering supports one color; a multi-color file does not create a multi-color plastisol order.
For an unusual ink or specialty effect, ask AMS whether the exact product is supported before ordering. Include the design, final size, garment fabric, print count, and needed date.
Check pricing for the whole run
Compare the total for the number of usable prints you need. Sheet quantity, ink choices, setup charges, and delivery can affect the total.
For example, if each sheet contains four usable copies, divide the current sheet cost by four to compare the transfer cost per print. Include any other charges shown in the order. This does not include the garment or your pressing time.
Use plastisol application instructions
Keep the instructions supplied with your exact product. Standard plastisol has different temperature and peel steps from Instant Peel DTF.
Test one garment first. Puff and other specialty transfers can need different settings; do not add a second press unless those exact instructions allow it.
Common mistakes to catch
| Mistake | What to check |
|---|---|
| Buying 10 copies when you meant 10 sheets | Copies per sheet, sheet quantity, and the resulting total |
| Wrong ink | The selected ink name and PMS code in the order |
| Photo or gradient in a single-color order | Use full-color DTF instead |
| Peeling it like Instant Peel DTF | Use the exact plastisol peel instructions |
| Unclear minimum or fee | Use the current order quote; ask AMS before paying if it is unclear |
What to do next
