Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I am a newbie at this, but am interested in knowing whether you can make custom transfers (i.e., indie band images) to put on black t-shirts, with the phoenix phire press? Can you print the artwork from an inkjet printer? What kind is the best kind of printer?

You can use images on dark if you have the image as a boxed image like that of a photgraph. If it is not then you should go with plastisol transfers. Lou
Bought Heat Press, Transfers, and T-Shirts..been practising applying the Transfers..having problems..What am I doing wrong, the whole transfer is going on the shirt but not all of the layers of the transfer, therefore the transfer is faint on the T-Shirt..and you can still see the whole transfer faintly on the transfer paper..why is it not ALL coming off onto the shirt??
Hot Split Transfers and Hot Peel Transfers..Company is Dowling Graphics..Heat Press " Black Magic " supposedly Industial Press 20" x 24"..Hope this info helps, with any help anyone can give..getting very frustrated..and Needless to saying going through alot of transfers and T-Shirts

First thing you need to do is make sure that you are following the instructions provided for temperature and pressure.
Please tell us what settings for temp / psi you are using and if you are peeling hot or cold?
Lots of folks here with the smarts to help you out with some additional direction.
