Hello out there,
Do I need to wait a certain period of time after printing my transfer before I heat press onto the t? Is it only certain type of carrier papers or is it all the same? If it is paper specific, which brand would i be able to pull from printer straight to pressing? Or is it the type of ink? Not that I'm 100% impatient, but I'll be focusing on events my first couple of years, and I dont want to give people the opportunity to say no because it might take time. Thank you in advance.....

Which paper are you using? Most papers don't require any extra drying time before you can press.

I havent done any at this time. I was just thinking through the processes and came up with that potential problem..

I have seen people take the print off their printer and go straight to pressing it on their t shirt with no problems....I'd say if it's dry 5 minutes you should have no issues.....if even that.

I make heat transfer t shirts at local car shows. I wait just a few minutes after I print before I press them.

So far most people are please with the shirts. I take a picture of the persons car and add their wording under the picture.

If you plan to do the work at events you will need a small generator. We use a 2000w Roybi.
