How can I print Hot Peel transfers from home?

I recently ordered some stock hot peel transfers from ProWorld to press on cotton tee's. I was absolutely amazed at the quality. What set up do I need at home to be able to print the exact same type of transfers?

Thanks in advance for any answers!!!

That would not be feasible since the designs are all produced on very professional screen printing and offset printing equipment. Not to mention the artwork and prepration that goes into each design.

Unless you are a pro graphic artist and work with AI and Coral. You will be better off purchasing these designs and pressing them onto shirts. I admire the designers that do this work.

I happen to be a professional graphic designer. :) I have been doing signs, graphics and design for about 12 years. Just getting started in the shirt industry. :)

Thanks for responding. They looked screen printed... just didn't think it was possible to transfer an already screened graphic. I'm new to the tee world. :)

Yes, it's called a "plastisol transfer". More info here: http://www.t-shirtforums.com/t-shirt-crossover-diary-heat-press-newbie/t13204.html
