NEEDS ADVICE RE: Print graphics using psd, transfer paper, and inkjet

Make sure it's no larger than 8 x 10.5. How about the fonts? meaning?

Not if you are using transfer paper that you print on the same way you want to see it (i.e., not mirror image). I just did some of this a little bit ago for some shirt prototype designs (cheaper than having one-offs done or screenprinted). Just keep in mine you'll have to cut around the edges of your design anywhere you don't want white, unless you're using one of those clear transfer papers I've heard about once or twice, I need to look into those. Also keep in mind that the larger the surface area of your print, the more "plasticy" its going to look.

I reread your post. To answer your actual question, no you don't unless you need to print as a mirror image. If you are using paper you put face down onto the fabric when you heat press it, then it'll need to be mirror-imaged. You can do this in photoshop or even in GIMP (free, opensource photoshop type of software). You mentioned messing with fonts in your post...I think you are refering to converting all text to an outline. Thats only for shops that print your stuff for you just in case they don't have the same font file on their machines. If you are printing at home you just print it like it was a normal piece of paper- just make sure you put the paper in with the correct side up, I made that mistake the first time I did it.
