That shirt heat press has a platten that is real weird shapped it has a square and then is kind of curved on both sides. I used that to apply transfer tags it doesn’t allow the heated plate to touch the garment if there’s a print on it

[@decaldoodle4065]

Love this video! Do you have any templates for the layout for printing the mesh?!

[@tjrgns01]

Thanks so much for your videos. They're super helpful! I've found a blank shirt that I like (Next Level 3600), but on the label it says "Do not iron decoration" and also has a "Do not iron" symbol as well. Is it still safe to use the plastisol ink transfer for the neck label? And can you use a regular iron if you don't have access to a heat press?

[@Craigpyrog]

Another awesome video! No questions on the neck labels and I might be taking advantage of your art files, thanks! But I notice you've got another template line on your palette which I'm guessing is for aligning your chest prints. Would like to see how you handle them, especially with different garments and sizes.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man. On my palettes I draw out a few reference lines to easily line things up to during setup and know where I'm at. Such as how far down from the collar, how far over for left chest, etc. Might be a good topic to cover actually

[@Craigpyrog]

@@leestuart38 I always print the same distance down from the neckline and distance off centre but there's probably a better way to go. Just bought the label pack and picked up a shirt. International shipping's a bitch! lol ;)

Hey Lee, really enjoy your channel. Shouting you out from Kingston, Jamaica. Did you mention the mesh size you use for the labels? I typically print with plastersol but i want to ensure I do not print through the fabrics. I actually manufacture my products but want to move away from labels to tagless.

Yup the mesh count is mentioned in there. There's time stamps of each topic in the pinned comment I put at the top of the list 👍🏻

[@gAllenDale]

If you don't have a hat press and order shirts in bulk and don't want to ruin a shirt...he gave GREAT advice but you can also do the inside labels with the regular heat press method when the shirts arrive before you put the design on. Then you have labeled shirts by size to help you store them

[@leestuart38]

Thats also a good piece of advice. Typically I don't label until after printing so I'm stuck in that habit and didn't even think of mentioning that you can do it beforehand 😂. Thanks dude 👌🏻

[@gAllenDale]

Lee Stuart I learned the hard way when I first got started. Ripped all the tags off my Bella Canvas shirts, did designs cause that was my focus annnnd had to figure out what size was what when orders came in lol. Keep up the great work

Hey Lee, I love your work and follow you religiously, you're a massive inspiration and soemday hopefully I can setup shop just like you. I wanna ask what transfer vinyl paper you us d? I have an inkjet printer, can I print these neck labels? On what paper though or is it vinyl? I'm using 100% cotton shirts from Bella. I heard you say plastisol? Will this work? Sorry for the spam questions Much love cheers & God bless

Great video! I want know how much all machine and kits of this system ?

[@tonyfdesign]

Good stuff. I have good success with WB ink (CG 7) with a 230 screen, soft squeegee and light pressure.

[@leestuart38]

Yup it'll work for some stuff, just not all like plastisol will. Something like a next level triblend is insanely thin and even with plastisol you have to be delicate, waterbased would blast through it in a hurry haha

[@tonyfdesign]

Quick question. I’m new to this & interested in the template. However, I’m confused on what to print it on before heat pressing it. I have a cricut as far as what I’ve been using to put things on my shirts.

[@chronicfish]

*Can you use an iron with the plastisol heat transfers? Thanks for the great information*

[@leestuart38]

I'm sure you could, but you aren't going to get the best results out of it because you need to apply even heat and pressure for them to be done properly. You can get very cheap heat presses from Amazon and eBay that will make it a lot easier for you

[@DougieBoy]

I started my own apparel biz a few months ago, right now I'm getting all the printing done off-site. But I'm looking at working my way up to screen printing all my apparel myself. Have any tips or a video with tips and tricks that would help me out? :) I think I've watched like 20 of your videos in a row.

[@leestuart38]

The biggest thing is ask yourself how badly you want to be a screen printer, because it takes way more time and dedication than people realize to be good at it and produce a quality product. It took me a year of doing it full time every day to get remotely good at it, and even then I still wasn't anywhere near where I am now. But if you ask yourself and the answer is yes, then patience is key. Like I said it takes time and dedication, and a ton of failure. You have to keep going and learn by printing as much as possible, it's the only way. It definitely helps to know the theory and a few little tricks like myself and a few others show on KZbin, but nothing compares to learning by doing in my opinion. Good luck with whatever route you choose 👊🏻

I'm going to be printing my own shirts (screen printing) but can't decide what to do for the labels. Would it be more cost effective to screen print my own (my logo has multiple colors) or do the heat transfer method? Could I print the heat labels on my own? Do you need a special style of printer?

[@leestuart38]

Screen printing them is a lot faster and nicer quality in the case of a tee shirt. Your neck label should be 1 color, doing multiple is not a good idea since they will bleed through and it's kind of a time waster
