Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Hi,
I had someone ask if I could put this 1 color image on a heather shirt, 1 custom order shirt. I've thought heat transfer would be the best most inexpensive way, but am not sure. I'm concerned that the background of the image would be white and it just won't look right seeing as the shirt is a different color. Can this image be placed on a heather shirt with a heat transfer and if so what type of paper?
I'd appreciate any tips.
don,t know what you have for equipment but you could print it on solutions clar and the there would be no white background. You can get the material from imprintable warehouse
Yes you can put this on heather gray but depending on the type of paper you might have some shadowing. You could also place a heather gray background and you should be good.
It wont come out white on the shirt when you press it, the shirt just turns a little darker where there is no ink.
I don't know how big you're going, but if it's a one time deal, I don't think it would be entirely impossible to do this in vinyl. I'd love to try it sometime with a better copy of the graphic. LOL
I use laser printer paper and I would first try Image Clip, which I think would do a nice job.
Second would be Duracotton/JPSS (inkjet paper) trimmed close.

Is this image heat transferrable?
