Hi,If you already have your ORIGINAL and full sized artwork for the designs, you have a few choices.1. You can go to your local Walmart or office supply store and buy the Avery Iron On heat Transfers. These are heat pressed to your t-shirts using a common household iron. Do not use steam, just dry.The daownfall to this is, the entire transfer has to have the same amount of heat and pressure applied to it or areas of the transfer may not bodn with the fabric in the shirt. Quickly the transfer will start to peel. To avoid this, all heat transfers, no matter if you print them yourself or use the Avery and other brands should be heat pressed using a professional heat press. Using a heat press will applyt he right amount of heat, temperature and pressure to the entire transfer and the transfer will not peel or come off.2. The second alternative is to use a POD (Print On demand) service. This service is free and you can upload your artwork to whatever t-shirts, mousepad, etc.you want. You can not only order shirts for yourself but also sell them to the public from the (usually) free stores.When using a POD service, they have what they call a Base price. This is YOUR cost. Your profit is made for any sales made above your cost for the shirts. However, it appears that the base cost for t-shirts vary widely. Some white t s start at $10.50 an go up to $16.00. Shop around.I have been printing heat transfers for t-shirts since 1987 and have a little experience using heat transfers.3. You could go to your local screen printer and get a quote from them.I would say for you that your best bet would be to use a POD service, possibly open up your own online t-shirt store and sell your designs. Never can tell.Hope this helps.Fred
Well, go to a local craft store. The closest one in my town is called Michaels crafts, but you can go to Wal*Mart as well.The shirts have to be exactly right for the job, otherwise the project will be a big fail. You go to a craft store or craft section in a store and look for iron-on fabric sheets. They are printer sheets that are specific to certain printers and fabrics, so find the sheets that match your printer and then read the instructions on the back of the package to know which type of shirts to buy. Usually, the shirts are next to the fabric sheets because they all typically use the same type of fabric, but some sheets may differ, as well as the prices. I believe it is 8 - 12 sheets per package, and like I said, prices will vary.The shirts usually go for around 4 dollars, and the sheets I bought were about a dollar per page.
The only way is an iron on transfer... the downside is that it is an iron on transfer (so they will look like it. This paper can me bought at any Wal-Mart or Best Buy (stores like that). There are 2 types, those for white those for colored fabrics. Make sure you get the correct one. With colors it is much harder as you will pretty much be stuck with the rectangles shape off the paper (unless you are going to spend pain steaking amount of hours per shirt to cut it all out). It will also peel crack more then the white does. The blank colored T s will cost more as well. Needless to say it is best to go white.There are companies that will do this for you (you just upload the design). The only problem with that is they are going to charge you about $15 per shirt, so you will be unable to sell them for $10 - $12
