Temp for t-shirts

[WorthDoingRight]

Look, if you buy sublimation t-shirts (polyester) then it is the same inks and paper you have.

You can purchase sublimatable t-shirts.. then you will be able to print with your paper as you do mugs.. these are polyester or have a very high polyester count..

If you have cotton t-shirts in white or light pastel colours then you can buy 'light' transfer paper that you print normally with 'normal' inks and then you can use scissors to cut around the image and then heat press it on. I use a range of different papers as I have both inkjet and laser printers. A lot of members have had good success with the papers from http://www.yolo.co.uk amongst others.

Now where getting some where i better go and get the gear out the skip. So if i get these sublimation t-shirts i can use what i use on the mugs, are these polyester garments just what they are made of or are they coated with some sublimation.

They are normally either fully polyester or sometimes polyester layer over cotton layer. I have done a couple and they come out fine. Only suggestion I have is after you have printed your design mirrored on the paper cut the edge of the paper away just to make sure you dont have ink overspill on the edge from printer as it leaves a very faint border if you do!
