Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Hello,
Before I start let me first tell you guys what I am trying to do.
I am trying to heat press a design on to white t-shirt without cutting the blank, unwanted areas of the transfer.
Something like this : What kind of transfer is that?
Another thing I am trying to do is heat press a design that includes white onto black t-shirt without cutting the blank, unwanted areas of the transfer.

My best guess is that those are plastisol (screen printed) transfers.
For a design that contains white, you would need to use plastisol or heat pressed vinyl.
Inkjet and laser printers don't print white so, when you're using inkjet or laser transfer paper, the color of the shirt is going to show through where your design is white.
You could use an inkjet transfer on a white tee to accomplish the flag design.
As for avioding weeding the transfer, there is a self weeding transfer for laser printers, but not for inkjets.
If you're using an inkjet transfer, you'd either have to hand weed it (unless you have a vinyl cutter/plotter with an optical eye).

Thank you for your reply.
I don't have cutter or anything and too lazy to Weed it by hand.
How can I archive the 1st result?(design without white) let say on black, white, red and blue t-shirts...
Somebody told me that Dark Transfer paper does that, is that true? if so, does it work with white t-shirts?
