What materials can I use a hat heat press on? Does the hat need to have a foam back to it in order to sublimate properly? Thanks to anyone who helps me out..

You really do not need to use sublimation on hats. Foam back, ech! How about the Printer Buddy #369 Heat Transfer System for Cottons. Cottons make better hats and the Printer Buddy does the job GREAT! Cherokee Laser has the Printer Buddy, call us and we will show you videos of just how easy it is and how perfect the image is on hats and any other cottons. We have Sublimation Ink Systems too, really GREAT Printer Buddy Sublimation Systems. Give us a call at 971-998-6336 or go to www.cherokeelaser.com.
Re: Hat heat transfers
The cap you use will depend entirely upon what you're transferring. I have used inkjet transfers, and they come out OK. Generally, I use t-shirt vinyl, or plastisol transfers...they look great. Really, any cap will work for those methods...just make sure you have the right size platen for the cap (low profile, full crown, trucker, etc.)
