ive never used a heat press, or transfered anything on a shirt, but im trying to start a business with my designs, it will take a while but i will learn everything i can

i am glad that this place exists that way i can learn from the pros

all of my designs are very colorful and bright, neon bright
so what do u guys recommend i use..i know vinyl works the best, but i dont have the money to purchase a vinyl cutter or the vinyl its self, so thats out of the question,

what kind of inks should i start with?

transfer paper?

thanks ahead of time

You mention vinyl. Just FYI - vinyl is usually limited to 2 colors - sometimes 3 - because vinyl shrinks and you need to press each color individually.

You can't go wrong starting with your basic white Gildan 2000 t-shirt and using Ironall or JetFlex premium paper for lights. And use pigment inks to print the transfers vs. the normal dye ink. The forum will answer many start-up questions for you.
