1) What's the time, pressure, and temperature settings when heat pressing on to shirts? | |  | |  | |
This varies with the material being printed onto. An application sheet should come with the material. Can be as simple as one press for 8 seconds.

2) Will this be different on other medias, or other type of shirts? | | | | | | |
Strictly dependant on media - the garment shouldn't alter the settings. Just be sure the media used is compatible with your garments fabric.

3) Can you also print on a white or other colored vinyl medias that you normally use on the Roland GX-24? | | | | | | |
The material needs to be "print & cut" media - the varieties incluse white media for dark garments, clear media for light garments, metallic silver media for a different look, and flock media for another type of look. The reason why, is you just couldn't load regular Spectra or Thermoflex because it is intended to be cut in reverse, and to print it - you would be printing on the adhesive side that is going to be applied to the garment.

4) On 1 piece designs, can you do it without using the mylar carrier tape? | | | | | | |
This ultimately depends on the rigidity of the material. For instance, a thicker material would work better because it will not curl when peeled up from the backing. It is also smart to consider how the media used will react when placed under the heat on the press - the thinner, softer materials should be masked to prevent curling and rolling up.
