Got the bug to tattoo tees back in the summer. now it's cooling down in Georgia, what do i need to know about transfers on sweats. please help, is there any difference between the 2?

Hey babalou,
the only thing different between tees and sweat/hoodies, i do is adjust the pressure on my press.
go for it,, I am now selling more Hoodies, than tees..

I Loosed the knob 1 turn, and dont forget to turn it back up when done,, i put perm marker on the threads so i can see where i am headed.. or need to get back to.
try to keep the hoodie out of press unless printing that as well, as that is the bulkyest.
If you do heavyweight Hoodies, or crewnecks, sleeve the press, like a pillow case.
Hope that helps

I have had great results on sweats too. I adjust the pressure by feel before I heat up the press. FI for hotmark 70, I use a substantial amount amount of pressure. I look a the results, and adjust accordingly. You want the vinyl to penetrate the fabric. If it just sits on top it'll peel eventually.
