ok people! lol. Im am very new to this. Basically I want to print my own shirts (on a larer scale) to sell. Alright, now, I think Heat Press is a good idea. But I am not totally sure what I need so I will tell you what I want to be able to do.
Ok the first thing is custom T-Shirt colours. I know this has nothing to do with the heat press. So say I have a colour on my PC, how do I get the colour of the T-Shirt to match that exact colour? For example a colours Hex value could be #602e13, I would need that exact colour shirt.
Ok second! I need an efficient way to get my designs onto the shirts. Im assuming I need some sort of transfer paper and some sort of press I was looking at the Phoenix Fire heat press...im not really sure what I need but it looks very easy to use. Like how would I get the design onto the tranfer paper? What a good printer to use? DO I need special ink? lol I could keep going.
Third I just need to know about the printing process. Like when I make a design does it have to have a background colour? Or can it just print the design and have no white around it. What are common problems/misconceptions or anything I would need to know starting out.
ALl help welcome!! I know it's alot to ask, sorry lol. I would really appreciate it
Thanks so much
Basically, tell me what I need to know like im your 50 year old mom
