My first REAL attempt at heat pressing

Recommended Posts

Well... here it is. I took a Jack Daniel's logo, cleaned our all the font, and added my FD's IAFF union number. Tried to use/find all the same font that the original image had, but they were all for sale... no freebies.

Thanks for all the help, suggestions, and guidance!

<edited because I posted images to be shared with the USC forum members, not the entire ebay community>

Thanks for the comments.

I saw something similar while on duty yesterday, so when we got back to the station, I busted out the laptop and started designing/editing... by 10pm I already had 3 guys on my shift saying that they want one.

Going to take this demo with me to work tomorrow and get a list working!  :)

I was surprised how long it took to weed that... it's 12"x15" and took probably 15 to 20 minutes to weed. I guess/hope I'll get faster with more experience.

I was thinking of asking $18 for s to xl, and $20 for xxl and larger. Asking too much?

Looks awesome!!! nice job!  I see THAT must have been the large image that didn't fit entirely in one press?  :)

Get your order form out...I'm sure you will be using it.

Prices sound fair to me!

Wow... it looks like a shirt you would have to buy from the store.  You did a great job on the design, the weeding... everything!

Dude that nuckin futs!!!  My brother in law is a chemical firefighter stationed at the Citgo plant near Chicago and I know that the guys in his unit love it!!!  Great idea and design, I like the fact that you retrofitted the Jack logo into firefighters shirts as I have been around fires while they are happening and honestly I think those guys have to be drunk to do it!!!LOL

On a personal note...  What the heck is this about you being a FRUIT LOOP???  Did I miss something?

Really nice work!  We sell black shirts with single color designs only on front that are smaller than that for $17 all of the time.  So, your price sounds right on for that kind of quality work.

Myself I would take orders and get a feel for how many will sell and then order plastisol.  There's alot of weeding there.  :) :) :lol:

From your experience, roughly how much would something like that cost, David? I'll probably have 15 to 20 shirts.

I would get 36 of them as there's a price break at that quanity and it should be approx. $1.90 or less. per sheet/transfer.  I don't think I'd weed that for that price.

I'm with you Sheila, it depends on the complexity of the design.  I've done over a hundred in vinyl, but the same sense, I've done plastisol for 25.
