i am thinking of getting a heat transfer for my first method of making my shirts.... i have read that the quality isnt good inless you order a special paper with ur logo already on?

Inkjet transfers are a second best to plastisol. Plastisol transfers must be ordered in quantity. With inkjet, you can do one cost effectively. I use transfer paper for light color garments. I do occasionally use the dark, but don't really like the result. God Bless.

I started out with a home-made press, process camera, for lithography, plate maker, heat gun, etc. Six months to get a flash, a year to get a used press, 2 years to get a conveyor dryer. Started doing transfers with a Canon color lases copier and a system where you squegeed cureable reducer on a shirt, then heat pressed the image on. All very slow and inefficient, but a learning experience out of this world.
I have shirts with inkjet transfers, Jet Pro Sofstretch paper, that have been washed 10 or more times that still look good. Not many people wear a shirt that many times.
