Default Newbie with a few questions about silk-screening

Where do you guys go to learn how to do this?
IS there a website that shows step by step how to make own custom t-shirts?
What is heat pressing? Cant i just use a silk-screen, block of the negatives with glue and then place the ink?
Also, can i do this without using photoshop but just coping pictures onto word and then printing the pictures on paper and starting from their?


Thanks alot

You could try to find classes in your area.

You could watch a DVD or get this book that will teach you a lot.

Here's a quick how to: A quick "How To" in screen printing

You can also find videos on youtube explaining it.

It is using a heat press machine to transfer an image from a piece of paper onto a t-shirt.

Depends on if you are doing it as a hobby or professionally to make t-shirts that you want to sell
