Im looking to start a clothing line, in which i'll be creating the shirts - tiedyeing them, bleach spraying etc.. but then want to print my brands name on it..

so its abit hard to find printers in the UK with tyedie and cool customised styles..

Therefore i'm having to find a method of printing myself.. I'm liking the idea of using vinyl as i can have different colour/styles of my brands font (Filled with camo, leopard print and any colour).

My issue is how am i going to apply this? As im pretty short of funds for the time being.. is there any cheap methods of printing? not necacerily heat transfer.. just wondering what you guys think!

The brand style will be like:

If you want get plastisol transfers or get a cutter and cut custom vinyl, either way you need a heat press.

i dont have the funds for a heatpress though.. ahh dilema!

You could get cloth labels made and sew them on, a good location is the right hip side.

is there no cheap heat press equipment? or other methods of printing in which i can apply a logo? preferably vinyl or some sort of material with different designs (leopard print etC)

Try searching eBay.

If you are just applying a small transfers as a label, you can get away with a home iron.....Not the ideal situation but it the short it will work....But just so you know, they will not last as long as with a proper press and you have to press hard which will make your arms ache a bit.....

If you're just going to do labels a hat press will work and should be a little cheaper.

i meant a bold title of the clothing brand on the tshirt - like this for example [media]http://edgecast-test.bigcartel.com/product_images/77161392/DSC01444.jpg[/media]

Unfortunately you're going to need a real heat press for that. I don't know anyway around it. I would save up and get one, my first press was around $800. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I bought a Vesta double heat press on eBay brand new for $500. Warning. DO NOT BUY A VESTA! haha, they are garbage. It was new, and it was broken from the day I opened it up. THe company just kept sending me parts that were junk. I am just giving you a heads up if you decide to pruchase a press on eBay.

By the way, I have printed a ton of those shirts using the print on 'Sojar' or like wise film, then pressing it, and its not a very good quality shirt in the end. Perhaps you should master the 4-color screen printing instead. its cheaper and lasts longer. not to mention if the tag is going to be on the inside of the shirt rubbing your neck, vinyl can be irriating to your skin.
