Default New to T-Shirt Making

Hi im a senior in high school and im looking to make some t shirts for school and for maybe selling in the future. I have tried to make t shirts at my house using transfer paper and an iron but it just peeled off and looked horrible. I have aroung $1500 to spend. Does Heat Press work well, if so what should I get/use, etc.

Thanks

go to Welcome they have a paper that can be used with an iron, and you can also use markers, crayons or colored pencils. I believe it is called jet light paper. Or you can purchase a heat press from them.

Heat press this one is 16x20 and free shipping Mighty Heat Press 16 X 20 - Free Shipping - MP 16x20

And transfer paper JET-PRO SoftStretch Inkjet Heat Transfer Paper 11" x 17" (50 sheets) Click for Discounts - 17-JPSS 50
