It's hard to imagine that you read all the links in that thread and all you can come up with for a more detailed question is "I did and those are my questions". Seems if you can't get any further than you have with all that info you should reconsider doing tees.

If I have a company doing the transfers for me, would I just need a heat press? if not, what else would I need?

Thank you for your time.

This equipment list is also a good start: Heat Transfer Equipment List: Getting ready to purchase my equipment.. thoughts??

But basically you need a heat press and shirts. After that you might need other accessories like a teflon sheet, but those can come later. The most important is a heat press and shirts.
