Default Professional quality

Hello all.

Sorry if there has been a similar post to this in the past.

I have recently started vinyl transfers on tshirts and the results have been really good. However, do you think the quality is good enough to sell? I know some people frown on vinyl pressed tshirts and will always choose screen printed tshirts - its that a general feeling for everyone?

I was considering getting my own labels made that i can stitch in to make the tshirt presentation look better but i dont know if im wasting my time cos i use vinyl!

Hope this all makes sense!

Best,
Luke

Yes, you can sell vinyl pressed t-shirts. Spreadshirt.com has made a whole business model of doing just that.

Done right, it can produce a high quality result.

If you are worried about the vinyl feel you can try DuraCut which is "cuttable ink-based product in sheet form". Search the forums for references to it. Or ask Josh from imprintables warehouse about it.
