Default Heat press vinyl overlay...

Hey all,
I am new to heat presses and transfer to t-shirts, so i have a question...

I already design and cut graphics for signs etc... and i wonder if you could use multi layers, better described as colors to have a multi colored design on a t-shirt.. Or does it only work with one layer or color of vinyl?

I am going to start doing jersey numbers and names and would like to use 2 colors at a minimum...

Thanks in advance, all your help is much needed!

Stack those vinyls on the shirt. Layer, stack go crazy.

I use Eco film from Imprintables Warehouse (sponsor to your left). I do plenty of 2 and 3 color designs. Ask for Josh or Mike, ask them to send you links to videos on the subject.
