How To Print T-Shirts From Home With A $25 Budget

[@johnxsantos]

I hope you all enjoyed this video. What topic should we cover next? 👇🏽 I understand that a $1300 heat press may not be in most peoples budget, so I have included a link here with other options to consider: bit.ly/HeatPress-Options

[@IndyFlatlander]

Can you cover DIY screen printing?

[@appliquepoint4876]

You can cover the super critical sport wear manufacturing here in Bangladesh. Thank you

[@johnxsantos]

@@IndyFlatlander You got it!! Working on that one now

[@IndyFlatlander]

@@johnxsantos Awesome! Looking forward to making some custom shirts for a company brand!

Thank you for always helping and giving information 🙏🏽

I've done home printer/iron on before at home. It looks really good on white shirts but after the first wash, it looks like its ready to become a house cleaning cloth. So, I recommend this only for one offs such as birthdays, memorials, etc. Something that you will only use one-time.

[@fredalce9129]

Get an EcoTank printer and invest in sublimation ink for lasting t-shirts. 100% cotton will wash out. Works better on 65% poly and up.

[@Ericklopez-bj1di]

If you do that I'll recommend using a white color shirt and 100% polyester, or Dryfit shirt. Works good

[@tysk5729]

heat on vinyl will stay great afther washing so far the transfer paper i have used is indeed mostly shit quality

[@Seth33Angell]

What was the quality of the transfer paper, ink, and material of shirts you used? Did you hit them with wax treatment after the initial design transfer? And turn the shirts inside out when washing and drying?

[@kimberlyquillen9471]

What if you hand wash it then let it dry? Will it be wearable for everyday ?😶 🤔 And I hope you or someone responds cuz my friend and I gonna make some matching t-shirts and wear them on Halloween 🤪

[@Creativemindandhands]

I love your determination. Just want to help out with the cutting. You can buy a cricut machine and it will cut the exact shape out for you in no time. Hope that helps you love🤗

[@ashleighchristian993]

I use dark transfer on all colored shirts & they always look great!

[@briizcustoms9543]

I’ve heard a lot of people say that. Why is it that dark colored transfer paper lasts longer ?

[@tysymone4788]

​@BriizCustoms I think so because I washed the white transfers and it cracked after first wash...the dark transfer a few washes in and still looks great

[@thunderrgc]

@@tysymone4788 do u know if the dark transfers will work on white tees? want to use one that will last as long as possible

[@aimeetaco441]

@@thunderrgcyep! They’re basically a white canvas that you print on and cut out. It’ll likely look better in my opinion. 😉

[@adwhite804]

You can buy weedless inkjet sheets in various sizes as well. So, no longer need to worry about trimming ( but I also used to add a stroke to the edge matching each color shirt so if trimming is off kinda cover that up) .But ironing still itself is more time consuming & not necessarily a perfectly flat pressure on the entire image, so inconsistency will still be an issue. Especially after washing a couple times. Used heat press...atleast until one can get that sweet automatic unit in the video.

[@User_REDMAN]

How’d the quality hold up using the press

[@AndrewIngram007]

What sheets did you use?

[@MikeMcRoberts]

weedless???

This is actually the best way to make shirts on a budget

This video helped me so much!!!!😭🙏 Legitimately needed T shirts for next week for a project and didnt have to to orded them.

[@AFuller2020]

I do single color on WM clearance shirts for $9.99 on an iron all day my heat press hasn't been used in ages.

[@louisd95714]

Do you have to cut out the design even when using a heat press for sublimation transfers? Seems like a lot of tedious work. Can you please clarify?

[@annacherish5734]

We use to do this back in the day when big tee shirts and graphic tee was a thing and no one had social media and KZbin wasn’t invented at that time

[@btwhilltop9805]

will this work on pants too?

[@DinaMali]

He is hilarious running around those ladies while they were working! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I use that same paper from Walmart. Great video.

[@Yayadrippy21]

What was the paper used for the dark inkjet transfer paper ? Like brand wise ? I’m just starting with my clothing line & I need serious at home pointers 😢🙏🏽

[@TheBlackklown334]

I have did shirts using light and dark transfer paper but for some reason it fades and/or peel when washed. Any suggestions?

[@deadalien5942]

could you iron on the supacolor heat transfeers?

[@johnxsantos]

You can 😱! We need to do more wash tests before sharing that technique with you all. 🙌🏽

[@deadalien5942]

@@johnxsantos awesome 👏

[@maxicangreg]

is it a one time use? Like once you wash it does it just wash straight off? im assuming so since its paper or whatever

[@TZzjourney]

Y’all hooked a girl up! Thank u for the links and demonstrations!!

[@SadeFarmer]

i fould a heat press on Amazon for 175 : )

[@xviewmytubex]

Is there any transfer paper that doesn't require cutting for any design? Can it simply be placed on garment and transfered then peeld off? Will it work with inkjet printers? Thanks! =).

[@johnxsantos]

Closest to that is Press-Art sheets. www.Streetcrafter.com

[@drewnoword5391]

i have a question. using heat transfer papers on 100% cotton ts, some places have this wax that apply on the design it self to protect it from color bleeds and its not the wax paper it self its like some type of wax. hopefully someone can help

[@kabelokepaletswe5703]

Please tell me which inkjet printer you used

[@johnxsantos]

We used an epson. Any inkjet printer will work tho! We also just dropped a new video to show different comparisons here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmarnKGwi6yHsM0

[@Adhezzz]

Hi can i use dye ink?

[@lgnrome]

WoW this is what I used to do in 2004 selling shirts on ebay. Now I use DTF , Sublimation, and Vinyl. Customers don't like paper transfers anymore . Their cheap , They crack, ink bleeds. Its all about DTF now.

[@SoloRex]

Wat transfer papers u use

[@lgnrome]

I do sublimation on white and very light clothing. For dark clothes I use htvront dark fabric transfer paper

What's the website you use for super color ?

[@adambyler7334]

Code-man, y u no use a Cricut? You can layout your design in the design app (or import your PS image), print it out on your friend's inkjet, then the Cricut machine will cut it out perfectly. Lemmy know when you'd like to hire me as a consultant ;D

[@MikeMcRoberts]

Is using a Cricut cheap? No it is not. They are extremely expensive. Read the title again... "How To Print T-Shirts From Home With A $25 Budget"

Do you need to pre-wash new garment before applying transfer?

[@splendira4466]

What printer do you have to use for this? Or can I use any ?

[@Ysalomet]

An ink jet printer is preferable...

[@Musclehustlerz]

Hey john, would you recommend the 50x50cm or the 38x38cm heat press? Having heat distributed spread evenly?

[@noral4679]

I'm seeing in the video that i don't have to flip the image whether i am going to press it on light or dark colored shirt which is good.. with supacolor transfer paper i can still use an inkjet printer? Is it 322 for 16 seconds for dark shirts and 316 for 16 seconds for light colored shirts? Thanks in advance!

[@Evbece]

What printer do you use?

After you print the paper then cut the white.. i just put it directly into the t shirt and press with iron? Will the paper burn tho?

[@gordonyork6638]

$25 plus the computer, plus the subscription for photoshop, plus the ink jet printer, plus cost of the shirts, plus media for heat transfer, not to mention the time spent learning photoshop, yeah, sounds like about a $25 budget. I do like your vids though.

[@eozXbsy]

If you really want to make it happen you’ll get all of those things done I think the $25 is more of an operational cost

[@joielollis]

Try using an Exacto knife instead of a utility knife

[@iamrely3238]

What is the thing called that you put over the design before u put it in the heat press

[@kevinhawthorne5257]

Thank You for all of your videos that you did.

[@bk947]

It's amazing how many people don't know how to make a how-to video. I mean they waste time telling us things that are common sense. They waste time and things that are nothing to do with the video. And they don't go into detail about some things. Like for example does it bleed after one wash? If so what's the other alternative? Also when you put the design on a t-shirt Can You Feel The Print or it doesn't blend in where you can't even feel the print? And whether you can feel it or not, what are the options to set it up where you can feel the print and where you cannot for the print? What are the pros and cons of making t-shirts with the print that you can feel and a print that you cannot feel? When you buy the t-shirts what your total cost? How much do you make when you sell everything? How much shipping? And there are more examples but you get the point.

[@dasiadaboss4684]

So I can just print this on paper and cut it out and iron it on, or is it a special type of paper

Does circuit help to cut the design?

[@wickedswift1229]

Yes the cricut machines can cut. Unfortunately their “design space” Software is not meant for actually designing. It’s an abysmal horrid shit-show. The silhouette machine is way better and their software works quite similarly to photoshop. It’s a slight learning curve but once you’ve picked it up it’s so much better than cricut {I know, I made the mistake of going cricut first}. It wasn’t hard since I’m quite familiar with photoshop and design work, so learning silhouette studio was a breeze. Cricut’s is not intuitive and trying to calibrate that thing to do print & cut properly is a nightmare - plus it hates glossy type medias. I’ve gone through 4 cricut exchanges in the 1yr warranty because the censors struggle to calibrate and get lost and won’t cut more reflective medias.

[@LamaMental]

I fucking hate cricut . Just bought one few weeks ago and i cant even calibrate this shit . It doesnt cut at all , their algorithme and software and machine are useless AF. Scissions and scalpel will do the job way better (yes its crazy but True)

[@Harry.Co0per]

why do i have to use a heat press for this type of paper why cant I just use an iron?

What is difference between Adobe illustrator and photoshop

[@johnxsantos]

Illustrator is more for vector art. The best way I can describe the difference, is vector being art that would looks as if you made it with sharpies. The line strokes and clear separation between the colors (more solid designs). Where photoshop is more like water color and photograph type of designs. Vector is more common for logos, embroidery etc. photoshop more for printed graphics. You can do similar things with both, but made for different purposes. Learn more here: bit.ly/Creative-Cloud1

[@diggwith2geez129]

He said 100% cotton is required to do heat press is that true? I thought you needed 100% to 60% cotton for sublimation but i didn't think it mattered for heat press.

[@tuity3357]

I’m confused what’s different about the paper you’re using because if the paper is the thing that’s leaving the residue on the shirt what does it matter how you transfer the paper to the shirt I’m just confused on how you’re saving money because it doesn’t seem like it’s the heater part
