Are you wanting to do 1-2 color options or full picture options?
I think your request is a bit too general. There is a ton of info on this forum. Spend the time to read about printers, presses and general marketing . That will give you more insight as to what you need to do. It is not realistic to expect someone to " give step by step instructions"

Hi

Thanks for your reply...I am looking to put names in one colour.....I am wondering if I go to word on my computer and go to word art and put name on then print??? If I use Pink lettering on word art will it come out pink on my transfer paper.?? Also what is the best way to trim the parts I do not want to use??

Thanks for your help and time
Since you already have a press you might consider adding a cutter. That would allow you to cut and press vinyl on the shirts. Great for doing names.
Hi thanks for your reply....I have now decided to get myself a vinyl cutter could you or anyone reading this message please advise me on which is the easiest machine to set up and use also I am looking for a 34 inch cutter but would only like to pay no more that £350....any advise would be grateful...I am looking just to put names on Tshirts and some sashes which are 30 inch long....thanks in advance for all your help
Well with $550 US dollars I would buy a GCC Expert 24, some vinyl and go at it. Now on the cheap end you could get your self a US cutter for aprox 110-115 pounds, mate. But you wanted simple set up so I would stay away from them. If you want to cut transfers with cutter your gonna have to spend a little more If set up not an issue I would look at Uk cutters...to save on shipping and customs charges. Not as easy to set up buy the LIyu cutter will contour cut, all beit manually.
