Cool What is this paper called when screen printing?

Some one told me before that instead of printing my design on different size T-shirts, I can screen print it on this paper and then press it by demand,

What is the name of this paper?

Who would be the best supplier of this paper(cost & quality)?

How would I use this paper?


Would like to get this paper A.S.A.P.

Thanks in advance.

Based on the info you provided it sounds like the person was suggesting plastisol ink transfers. Thes plastisol transfer are printer on to a release paper and then applied to a shirt with a heat press. The advantage to this is the flexibility to print on shirts as you need them (less inventory) and print to the size you need. No up front guessing on quantity and sizes needed. Opinions differ on the quality of a plastisol transfer verses direct print to the garment using plastisol. I can tell a slight difference between the two but the average person should not be able to.

I hope that helps some.

If have a screen prinitng press you need the release paper to print to and then you can transfer to the shirt as needed. If you don't have a scre priniting pressyou need to but the already printed transfers and apply to the shirt.
