Hi read the thread. I'm going to be buying full color transfers from a supplier so I don't need an ink jet printer, etc.

What I was asking was since I'm buying transfers from a supplier what do I need to start printing?

Is that all I need is a heat press, transfers and t-shirts?

Or do I do other supplies such as and excuse me for my novice question.... something to cover the transfer or some kind of protection when I apply the press?

Marc

Really that's all you need. Some people like to use a Teflon sheet to place on top of the transfer but it's not necessary ... it just helps protect the upper platen.

I would tell you the things I use that make life easier is a teflon sheet,a teesquareit,and a logo it for left chest. The last 2 are alignment tools. You can get all 3 from Heat press Essentials. ...... JB
