How To Print T Shirts Using A Home Printer and Transfer Paper

[@johnxsantos]

I hope this video helped you realize how easy it is to print t-shirts at home! Right now I’d like to address some common questions I’ve been seeing in the comments. Before I do that I’d like to make it clear. I do not condone you stealing peoples art, and if you have any legal questions about art definitely consult an attorney :) ✅ Now one of the most common questions is what printer I used in this video. The printer I have is an Epson, but you can use ANY inkjet printer to pull this off. I have linked some items you can find on amazon which should help here. Keep in mind every printer is a little different, but as long as it uses INKJET it should work fine. I’ve done this with other printers before: www.amazon.com/shop/jaycashofficial ✅The next questions is how long does it last? In my experience transfer paper is good for a few washes, You’ll need to follow the care instructions if you plan on keeping it looking good for a longer time. I washed the design 20 times and dried it as well, and I had posted the results in the story for everyone to see. If you didn’t see it, it started to crumble up a bit. That was with regular washing/ drying. So I recommend this printing method for promotion/ samples for you to show a few times. This works perfect for events/ parties! ✅Now if you’re actually wanting to start your own custom clothing line, I encourage you to watch some of the videos on my channel and checkout the free resources we provide you here: bit.ly/Free-Apparel-Training

[@bit-te]

Hey is it water proof I'm afraid that the colour will fade when Im washing the t shirt

[@saptosatriyoutomo4692]

How durable are these? Do they last? How long before they peel, chip, crack? I assume not as well as a direct to garment print but is it worth it?

About one wash only, after one wash it cracks

I spit out my coffee!

[@akasuprm]

Which Epson Printer is that?

[@dinachoeurn7913]

Hi! After following proper paper/application steps. Let’s say when all is done and a T-shirt is gifted to others how is the printed design affected being washed and dried in machines? Does it rub off after multiple washes/dries or start to crack and peel? I see this awesome video was posted 1 year ago - hopefully you both see my gratitude and question. Happiest birthdays!

[@BadTV1993]

Ive used this process & it lasts better with heat press..ive gotten yrs out of shirts made this way but they do fade eventually...high heat (I use about 350 to 375)seems to seal it better..but tell customers to wash on cold /delicate/inside out to be on the safe side- edit: you can also use an eco tank printer and switch your printer ink (sub ink or pigment)

[@youngandwittyproductions6431]

​@@BadTV1993 Excellent information 👍🏿

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

You can use PPD paper as well. I used infinity designer to create my own art. On the Epson WF printer it has mirror option in the settings.

[@cyruspylyser7699]

Hey man, thank you so much for walking us through this! But I was wondering, what if you're stretching the shirt, will the image start having these little cracks in them?

[@crownspecialties]

Mclovin just taught me that printer’s don’t print white. 🤯 I never knew that or thought about it. Ha

[@Plyde001]

i dont get. if thats true is there anyway to print those white details on black shirt?

[@yeetsheet9537]

Plyde Trinidad If you just took a paper and ironed it on the shirt without printing anything the dark fabric paper will appear as white while the light fabric paper will be transparent. So if you were using a black shirt and didn’t want any white to appear on the picture you could either use the dark fabric paper and cut all white off or use the light fabric paper and just leave it transparent. Meanwhile it works either way for a white shirt.

[@caf9490]

Well, printer dont print white, the parts that gonna appear as white, they just leave it out, since papers are white

[@oddissey5923]

HAHAHA I THOUGHT THE SAME XD

[@LIONESSOFZION]

Does it matter which way you put the transfer paper in the printer?

It does actually, if you place it the incorrect way it will not be applied correctly to your garment.

John, can you make a beginner's video for printing a design from your computer to transfer paper to your printer? If I order designs on Fiverr, I want to know how to take that design and print it and then do a heat transfer to a shirt.

wait so instead of putting normal a4 paper in the printer, do you put the fabric paper?

Can we get a 20+ wash test as a follow up

New ink would help, but I'd also check the quality of the paper. Some of them don't cure the best.

I would hand wash it or put it on a very delicate cycle in cold water and then line dry it. I feel like the dryer would totally ruin it lol

[@scottmac6916]

I've used the same transfer paper before (multiple brands including Avery). Wash the shirts inside out, was with cold water, and air dry if possible. The design will last 3 to 5 washes on average before starting to crack or peel off.

[@nagalandtv1589]

If we happen to stretch the shirt... Will it be same or will there be some crack

[@lovely31bluprint]

I have the Epson XP 6000 can I doing my printing with it

I use a MacBook Pro for my work, but we also use PC for certain programs. In my opinion, Apple products are the way to go for creative work. Graphics, art, music, video etc. PC is great if you are building one up, but they do require maintenance to help them keep up with updates to software and compatibility. So if you're a tech person, PC is good too. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I keep things simple with Apple. here's a list of things you can find on amazon that I use in my office: @t
