Hi all...

So I've pressed up my first order and they have gone out and been delivered.
Don't wanna tempt fate, but not received a dreaded email or call yet to say 'the vinyls fell off everything' give us our money back! touch wood, all is well.

I followed everything to the book, temp, time etc, so I'm pretty confident, but wont rest until a few weeks have past haha !

Anyone else had this feeling of anxiousness following an order

thanks Ian

Did you design those or were those designs given to you by the customer? The character is really cool.

My first few orders were mainly to friends, and I was actually looking for feedback - positive or negative.

I was anxious but after a few washes and all turning out ok, I was definitely more relaxed.

I guess now I can tell if I'm having issue either with the transfers or the screen printing I do, rather quickly. Looking at the printed design, you can catch any flaws if you pay close attention

cheers dude, they were all my own designs, there's more on the back of the tees too, felt I'd shot myself in the foot a bit to be honest by loading up with designs, the customer loves them but they took a lot of time and effort.

it's all a learning curve I guess.

What equipment are you using? And where did you get the transfers from?

Again, the character(Zagat? ) looks really cool.

Cheers dude.
My set up is a Silhouette Cameo, Imac, Epson 1500w Inkjet and a PixMax Heat Press.

The Sagat transfers are printed on the epson on 3G Jet Opaque paper and have come out great and feel great too, definitely the only transfer paper to consider think, but I am new to this, although cant me trying any other brand.

Opted for an ebay heat press as it was my only choice due to budget, but has turned out to be a little workhorse, had a few teething problems at first with its pressure, but took my spanner to it myself and for a £180 press its great now.

The Cameo i cant praise enough! amazing piece of kit, so easy to use right out the box, its software too is very user friendly, I'm considering the plug in for it though, as I come from an illustrator background and feel I this would speed up my whole process maybe?
Epson printer is very good quality images and works very well with the Jet Pro Soft Stretch.
