How I print white t-shirts with my professional Heat Transfer Press using your emailed artwork. I did this quick video as so many have asked me how I do it. I did 25 years of screen printing (silk screen) but I like the ability to render quickly what I envision.
I use white shirts as the color of the shirt effects how the image will show. The white background is instrumental in the vibrancy or the colors and most importantly any white or highlight areas in the artwork. Some artwork changes significantly to the point where it mutes or kills the color when you put it on a different color shirt.
The artwork holds up great after a couple of YEARS..with 25 years of screen printing (silkscreening) it would be hard to pursuade a purist like myself..I have been very happy...I never sell my art work that I wouldn't buy or wear. The inks I use are that of an inkjet printer with a high resolution setting for printing and using the "mirror" setting.
When you heat a transfer you are actually setting the ink into the fabric. The ink bonding to fabric gives it a better "hand" (feel ) to it. A consistant pressure and heat are very important for larger design surfaces. I have found it to last years.
