nogo 0 Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Guys, So I have never made a shirt before and I would like to give it a try, but I have a few questions! I have a few blank shirts that i would like to put a small pocket size logo on for my company. My first question is... what vinyl do i want to use on a tee shirt? can i use my oracal 651? My other question regards heat pressing. I do not own a heat press machine, so can i use an iron to apply the decal? Are there any other ways to applyh the vinyl with out heat pressing? Finally, if i decide that i want to do a large logo on the back of the shirt can i use an iron, or am i crazy? Just so you all know, I own a landscaping company and bought a vinyl cutter so i could do all my trucks and equipment, that is why i have these odd questions! Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys Nogo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeygirl 30 Posted April 17, 2010 You'll need to use heat press vinyl for shirts. I use Siser Easyweed, but I don't think you can get it to work with a hand iron. Most of the vinyl require a heatpress, but I think some members of the forum had luck with other brands using a hand iron... try doing a search on the forum...

I agree with the others, a option could be using JPSS paper and then using it on light shirts only, meaning white, ash etc. I have heard that you can use these with a iron do a search and see if you can find some info on this maybe a video? I could make you what you need printed on some Jpss pretty cheap if it was for you and you didnt need a whole lot..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
