Default Advice needed on which printing method for this design?

Hello
I have just had an enquiry for a t-shirt and i am unsure how to do it?
They would like the picture (below) on a black t-shirt.
Could some one give me some advice on how i could do this so i dont have any white showing on the black t-shirt.
Thank you

What method are you using to create the shirt? If silkscreening, you would first flash on a layer of white then the red would be printed over the white.

If you are using transfers, maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in. Otherwise you may want to post your question directly in the transfer section of the forum.

Just to clarify, do you just want the image of the lips? And what type of printing are you doing?

Well, if this is a full front design, vinyl would work. Weeding might be a pain. There wouldn't be any white to worry about.

You can order plastisol transfers single color from Ace Transfer comp. Talk with Kay...she gets there around noon I think. That image is available as clip art so you would be set with no white background. You can with the vector art also do vinyl transfers and if large enough should weed ok. I have done them small with sign vinyl and wont weed it again.
