That's really smart, I think I'm going to try that.

The transparency you made, did you just use a standard injket printer?

The bulb you used can I just get that anywhere?

And what did you use to cure the ink after you got it on the shirt?

There is no substitute for being able to coat your own screens. With a fan, the process only takes about 2 hours. A 2 hour wait is better than the 3 day wait before ups drops it off at your door. For the cost of 3 upcharges for coated screens you could buy emulsion that will coat 20. Your customer will probably wait 2 hours for you to prepare a screen, will they wait 3 days for you go get it shipped to you?

Not that I've even decided to attempt screen printing at this time, but don't some people have screens coated, just sitting there waiting to be used. I typically wouldn't wait to get an order and then order screens. I would just go ahead and order transfers.

Yes you could do that, just keep in mind coated screens have a shelf life.
