Lightbulb Just getting started, equipment and materials

Hello all,
I finally got my equipment I have begun my journey into the world of t-shirts. After procrastinating about every aspect for a few weeks and reading as many related forum posts as possible I bought my equipment and materials.
Here's what I purchased:

1 Heat press 15x15
50 sheets transfer paper
57 t-shirts
c88+ printer
CISS
Vinyl plotter/cutter
Starter pack of vinyl

I got my heat press on ebay from usaprovidersinc , it was a good price and the customer service I got from the company was awesome.

I bought ironall transfer paper like alot of you recomended.

I bought mostly hanes heavyweight and gildan to run some tests with. Also I purchased some port and company cuz I liked the colors. Most 100% cotton and a couple 50-50.

I first experimented with some store bought transfer paper from "Avery" not what I had in mind. It was very homemade looking and feeling almost like rubber. (I only wasted 20-22 shirts and alittle ink lol).

Then I got the Ironall , a big diff., lol I love this stuff.

Now if I can only line up the images and keep them consistent in my process lol.
Any tips on lining things up and keeping all shirts exactly the same?

Thanks
Euphoric
