    Sorry I'm still new to all of this and don't know what that means Thanks, I can't remember where I got it from I've had it saved for awhile, I found it through google somewhere
  3. Screen printing is cool and everything, I did it in high school in graphics class, it's kinda messy, and if you're not doing a lot at a time it would seem like a hassle. With heat transfer vinyl you can also have a better view of where your design is going. I dunno, I'm still new to it all myself, but when I think about screen printing, it just sounds like a headache. I don't have the huge space needed for all of the stuff, the sinks for degreasing your screens and rinsing off ink, cleaning up, etc...can you even wash that stuff down residential drains, would it clog them? Just sounds more complicated than vinyl. Vinyl is no mess, minimal clean up, and seems like you would have a lot less mistakes. If I did screen printing I don't think I would enjoy it as much, I feel I would look at it as a chore instead of something I enjoy doing. Just my noobie 2 cents! (don't know about printing onto iron on vinyl quality doesn't seem that great for those, I do the solid color vinyl, no photographs, etc)

  6. Totally cool, never heard of the rub and buff. Do you etch it and smear something on it?

    First heat transfer t-shirts

    Will wash them a couple of times but I think the vinyl is there to stay, I can kinda see the fabric through the vinyl.
  11. Turned out pretty good for a newbie! My first heat transfer t-shirts ever. The 8-bit is mine and the other I made for my husband. That one won't be a shirt I can sell though since it's based on the trailer park boys tv show. The k got a little messed up during weeding because it was so thin, had to cut a little bar by hand and just stick in on there Hey it works for a test shirt. (top right of the k)

    I might take you up on that some day. I'm trying to concentrate on vinyl projects right now, I'm starting to wonder if the glass stuff will be worth my time....hmmm..I don't want to take on too many projects at once. If I decide to try it I'll let you know, and thank you for the offer
