    Printing images onto a T shirt

    My Mother in Law would like to print out some images onto a Tshirt, and I was wondering what equipment I would be needing to do so. I'm already planning on purchasing a new printer because mine is, well, on its last legs. As of now we're only going to be printing 5-6 shirts, but we might be printing more out in the future. Thanks!

    Re: Printing images onto a T shirt

    depends what color tshirt. dark, you need dark color t-shirt transfers, a printer, and an iron. for dark color, the image won't be flipped.

    for a white shirt, just regular t-shirt transfers, a printer, and iron again. this time you need to flip the image horizontally when printing it.

    oh yeah, you need shirts too.

    or you could just do your own screenprinting like i do It's really quite easy. but PM me if you need any help on those shirts, I've made quite a few.

    Check out cafepress.com too - tons of options. You'll have to set up a store on their site to do it but it's easy. Quality is good and shipment is quick.
