I have some promotional t-shirts I would like to make for a product we are producing with our laser engraver. The t-shirts would mostly be black line art with some text. I am considering adding some color. Basically the outline of footprints scattered around the shirt with text. We have an inkjet printer and a black only laser printer and an inexpensive heat press. What is a good transfer paper that would allow me to print something like that and have the background be unobtrusive. I may sell some shirts also so that is another reason I am concerned on how the shirt looks as we get started.
I worked with the laser ImageClip yesterday and just do not have the time to perfect it. I was getting inconsistent transfer material sticking to the toner.
By the way I have spent hours reading posts but just cannot get narrowed down what to use.
Yeah, Jetpro Sofstretch does still seem to be well liked. You can trim around the feet before applying them, and you won't have much issue with a window at all. On white, they'll probably work the best. Good luck to you.
PS: To find some suppliers, you can google the paper name, or look on the left of the forum for vendors - some offer discounts/specials to forum members. The little star means you get a discount, but price shop, prices vary with and without stars, sometimes with a current sale, a starless deal can be better. Sometimes not.
We have the 24 X 12. My wife didn't like working for the IRS so we bought embroidery equipment then the Epilog and now we are looking for screen printing equipment. Any suggestions? Workhorse, Vastex, Hopkins?
I ran some JPSS transfers this weekend. I am very happy with the way they look on the white. I did try some light colors just to see and the background is somewhat noticeable. I did trim around the edge of the sheet so that it did not leave a straight line.
You cam put a lot of images in a border/frame with a fade to the outside and trim into the color area to avoid the slight discoloration on colored shirts just be warned that the shirt color can make the transfer colors look different and the shirt color will be the background for any image that isn't a completely filled with the printer ink.
I know that once we settle on white people will want anything but white. If I did colored shirts then the image would just be the line art. The hard part is herding people into what you want to offer. Now I need to find an online t shirt supplier. I looked at one but they wanted an apparel tax ID and all I have is a Kansas tax ID number.
Transfer paper for black and white line art.
