    I think it helps if you press the shirt befor the vinyl goes on as it makes sure its ultra dry and crease free.

      That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the great tip.

    A friend of mine has been making custom t-shirts at parties on demand for 15 years - he has some designs pre-cut, and weeded to be finished up in seconds, or you can choose your own colours or if some kind of ad hoc party meme emerges, there's going to be t-shirts an hour later. I don't know all the secrets, but every t-shirt i got made by anyone else decays, his just never do, they're still good after hundreds of washes, which is plain amazing. He must be very meticulous with his vinyl and settings, but he also always pre-washes and tumble dries the t-shirts before applying the vinyl.

      Siana Gearz Could you please ask him if he can print me some of my logos? I don’t own a vinyl printer and there doesn’t seem to be anybody offering that service. All I can find are Asian clothing manufacturers who either refuse or quote me $500+ for 20 sheets of A4! I will pay them

    good job Michael! thanks.
    and also very interesting for me , regarding to... whoops, little ungrammatical. in regard to, or regarding the heat-press. i've always wanted one. i only tried stickering yet.
    now i know which one to buy, the 5 in 1 like you got is the one to get.
    indeed the profit of making schirt's is not the biggest, due the transfer flock is more expencive then normal stickering vinyl, but you can create your own creative one of a kind design's.
    👍👌😄
    you probably found out yet, but CAD-CUT Direct has many eye opening tutorials, though it is just an advertising channel, i found it very interesting.

      Thanks again for your advice on the grounding. The more I read, the more stories I found of damaged machines from static discharge. The vinyl is more expensive, but if you were doing a batch you could pack them densely. My method here is the least efficient possible.

  • @mrfoameruk
    @mrfoameruk Před 6 lety +1

    The mug press is more for dye sublimation but thats involves special printers with expensive inks and special mugs and its not easy to get colours right sometimes. What you did would most probably come off if put in a dashwasher. Still think you have one of the best channels at the moment for peoplke who like to make all sorts of things.

    • @TeachingTech

      Thanks for the knowledgeable advice. I'm definitely a noob with this. Thanks for the nice feedback too :)

    Could I ask you how the press is holding up?? Has there been any break downs. I’m looking to get one from eBay soon. Thank you for your continued great content.

    is it possible to put a 3d print part on a t-shirt, and heat it, so it sticks to the t-shirt?
