making T-shirts

Recommended Posts

Can you apply the thermoflex plus with a regular iron or any vinyl for t-shirts for that matter. What other types of vinyls are good for making tees? How do you apply them? Thanks for any help!

No you need a heat press to get even temps and steady pressure.  As far as other t-shirt vinyl, check out www.jotopaper.com and look up their multicut product.  It works great.

Has anyone used Siser heat transfer vinyl?

I have used Easyweed made by Siser if that's what you're asking. If you haven't seen my recent comments over at that t-shirt forum I'll mention here Thermoflex+ has less gloss, appears thinner which can give a better blended look and has a better hand or feel on the finished product. Both weed the same, with Easyweed peeling better on intricate cuts for me. Let me add I am a novice and still have much to learn about this heat application thingy ma jiggy proccess. I don't believe either would apply well with an common iron and if they do.... then I'll be mad for spending so much on a press. :)

Well, I just got some of the videoflex heat transfer from siser and I am going to try it with my iron since I don't have a heat press. Wish me luck! I am going to keep a look out for a used press!!! What graphics do you use? I would like to do some urban contemporary designs. Got any suggestions?
