Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc. What else can you do with your press?

What else can you do with your press?
(You can use it to bond Other Fabrics and materials in creative combinatons along side plastisol ink/designs to decorate garments, accesories and so on...
as for digital photo/tansfers like the jet and clc, you can go beyond t-shirts too.)
T-Bot had stirred up my imagination by saying this about other things you can do with your heat press.
I know about plastisol transfers and such, but can you give me some examples of how you have "gone beyond t-shirts"?
Have any of you bonded other fabrics/materials along side your normal transfer?
And if you know of any websites with some cool ideas, please include a link.

Re: What else can you do with your press? As your signature says . . . gone fishing. Today is a holiday, so everything is closed. But I'm stuck inside - away from the rain.

Re: What else can you do with your press? If you do photography you can dry mount your photos for dispay and framing. getting a nice tight fold on a shirt press it and package for shipping. If you do airbrush or any other fabric painting its a good way to heatseal the images.
