Re: How to do this?

Post by TonyM »

Hi all,

I have had an order from National express for 60 T shirts.
They want black with text. I thought that would be fine, and i could use my plotter.
But they want tiny writing/names on the back and colour on the front.
How would I do this?
Would i need a transfer paper and use sublimation?
Please advise

Tony

...another question is whats the point of sublimation black tee?? :)

in my opinion you should get this screen printed or screen printed transfers so you can press them yourself.

You can only sublimate onto white/light tees. DTG probably your best bet, some transfer papers possibly. Screen printing is also an option on an order of that size.

Wow how quick was that?
Where could i order Screen printed transfers to press onto the shirts myself?
I need to quote them a price asap.
I can get the Tshirts easily enough.
Thanks

I've not bought any for a few years now so hopefully someone else will be along shortly with a recommendation. I know Target Transfers do them but unsure about prices. I'll try and dig out the name of the company I used last.

Thanks for that. I googled it and have sent an e-mail. If anyone on the site feels they would like to supply me with them then please PM me. I know National Express have asked for other quotes, but as I usually produce their bespoke Hi-Vis vests I am already a preffered supplier and as long as i can come up with the goods at a good price I will be ok.

I dont see why you cant do in vinyl. If you choose a font that it is not too enclosed I cant see why you couldnt do it with vinyl.
