Default Screen Press Heat Transfers

I just ordered some custom heat transfers from TranferExpress.com. They call the transfer "Goof Proof". They told me that is was like screen printing, but only on transfers paper. What do I need to do this at home. I did the job and it came out great and the coustmer loved it. I just want to know if anyone know how to do this and what kind of equipment I need to do it on my own.

Since you successfully used the transfers, I'm guessing when you say "do this" you mean print your own transfers? You'll need pretty much exactly the same equipment as traditional screenprinting, except you're printing on paper not fabric, so a vacuum table instead of a carousel.

You will also need to print everything in reverse order from design to color application. As Lewis stated its just screen printing on release paper with some design differences. You might as well just screen print directly on shirts unless you become a production house for custom transfers.
