Default 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.

As your signature says . . . gone fishing. Today is a holiday, so everything is closed. But I'm stuck inside - away from the rain.

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.

What do you mean "dry mount your photos"? I don't understand what this is.
