hey hows it going guys been trying to figure out how the images of these shirts are made at first i thought they could be screen printed but upon further inspection they look to be some type of heat transfer.

question:

are the inkjet or laser transfers?

if so what is the best inks to achieve optimal quality?

and finally what is the best paper for light and dark shirts?

Some look like heat transfer, some look like DTG.

If they were all heat transfer, some of the weeding would be a nightmare.

thats what i was thinking but i thought DTG sucked for darker colors which has me stomped.

Why do you think that? DTG with the right white ink and proper pretreatment can be amazing on colors.

I often do a combination of a screen print and an inkjet transfer. The "Murder Inc" design would work well for that technique. I'd screen print the red type, then apply the transfer.

It won't work for every design. The type can't overlap the graphic. But in many instances it allows more verstatility than screen printing or inkjet transfers alone.

yayo: DTG quality is operator based. Expert operators would stun you!

i agree just saw some and was stunned!! how expensive is it ball park price per say 5-10 shirts?

Depends on what blank you use, and how much ink you use.

i see so a design like the ones i posted with a intermediate blank just a ball park just to know what i should expect. maybe $20-$30?
