obviously theres people on here who have done t shirt printing (sublim way) - is this basically the same way as doing the cups except u use a bigger press to burn them on.
Whats the quality like when on t - shirt and does it survive the washing machine
Can hoodies also be done this way and whats the effect like ??
R they really worth doing or is is just another passing phase.
At moment i dont have a t shirt press but thinking of expanding my empire
Hi! there is fantastic quality when on tee as there is no feel at all! image is blend in to the fabric. you can sublimate on hoodies but only when its polyester ones
dont forget you can ONLYsublimate on polyester!
there are a few posts about subli t's they are not cotton, and some people do not like the feel of them, but they are great for doing pictures/photos colour designs on, and making use of the printer you already have. but you could also do jigsaws, keyrings etc.
if you look in the "clothing" section, you will see discussins on hoodies and subli shirts
i love the way you describe "burning them on" mind you if the temp is not right, that would be it lol

hoodie from your link was printed with vinyl
vinyl so thats takes me elsewhere then arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
suppose thats a lot more expense etc and harder to do
cardman, i have said before in response to other people, sometimes when you are just starting out, get one process right, before you delve into others, or find someone local you can work with - you do the dye sub they do the vinyl, but yes more equipment. heat press, vinyl cutter, cutter software, design software and a lot of luck in another overcrowded market lol

As a general rule, people using dyesub will sublimate to white poly shirts. There are 'systems' that allow you to sublimate to black or dark shirts - Magictouch have something called WOW. There are of course various other methods.
We decided to go the Direct to Garment (DTG) route! It took a considerable investment in equipment and hopefully will eventually pay-off. DTG is generally resyricted to using 100% cotton shirts and certain brands & types will print better than others.
If you have a need for printing shirts, in particular dark shirts, give me a shout or send me the artwork and I'll give you a quote. This is the sort of quality you can expect.
This is a picture of a black cotton t-shirt we printed recently just to illustrate the quality of the actual print.
