Heat Transfer Printing
With the heat transfer process, ink is transfered on a carrier paper to the t-shirt. When heat and pressure is applied to the carrier paper, the ink is transfered onto the t-shirt. A common way that this is done is by applying an iron to the carrier paper for a period of time until the ink appears on the shirt.
The t-shirt business can become a very stressful business to run, especially on your own. As with any business, it\'s recommended that you develop a team. Sure you might start on your own but eventually you should build a dream team that\'ll help advance your label to the next level. One of the key members of this dream team is an excellent designer. You might be the only designer of your t-shirt label now, or maybe you haven\'t even started your label yet but have great ideas for t-shirts but don\'t think you have the artistic talent to put them into production.
We suggest that any label hire new designers soon as the budget permits. An additional designer means the manager of the label has more time for managing and business operations.
