Ok hey there team, i have 2 questions hoping i can get advice from the pros. Well i am a begginer screen printer been in the business for about 6 months now. Im wanting to try something diffrent besides tshirts now. I was wondering if it is possible to do Car Decals for windows on vehicles. (like do they sell a special paper you can screen print on and maybe cure using a heat transfer press then place onto the window of your car and wet press and peel leaving the decal on it) Hopefully i didnt confuse anyone. 2nd question is can i screen print and instead of using a flash unit to cure can i use my heat transfer press, with a piece of parchment paper over the ink. or will the ink smudge. Im just anxious to do car decals and wonder if you can do them with screen printing because i cannot afford a vynyle cutter/plotter.

No to the first question.

Plausible to the second question, but it will take some trial-and-error. You will not want to apply any pressure to the ink while curing, and it could take some practice to get the distance and time right. Chances are, flash is going to be easier.

Print some shirts and buy a cheap vinyl cutter and work your way up!

No cheaper way of doing it. Start saving money for your vinyl cutter. I won a brand new vinyl cutter on ebay for $218 and another one for $280 both Uscutters. Goodluck
