i was wondering what was the best method for printing for black t shirts. Right now im doing pretty well selling white tees by using my heating press and people really seem to like the quality. So i was wondering what was the best transfer paper or method to use for black tees that will look really nice. ANY HELP

Plastisol transfers are the best method using a heat press. They are silkscreened, so you can't use your inkjet or laser printer to make them.

See a review of 8 different custom plastisol transfer screen printers - samples followup

There are inkjet transfers for dark garments, however they leave a white background which you would have to cut away to remove it.

I was checking a sample sent by TheMagicTouch.com and their WoW paper for black looks great, and not need to
weed.
The only con..kind of expensive.

And it requires a color laser printer, right Marcelo?

And it requires a laser printer !!!
I took it out of the equation because I do have a color laser,
and didn't think much about it

Well, I agree that plastisol is the way to go but the thing is I'm sell these shirts at my college and I graduate in like three weeks so time is not on my side. So if I cut out the white before I apply the ink transfer will the image be the only thing showing on the black t shirt?
