How To Screen Print: T Shirt Heat Transfers At Home #2

I made this 2 part video some time ago before the Catspit Productions YouTube channel was born. I thought it had a lot of good information in it so I decided to post it. The video quality is poorer than usual and the audio in the second part gets louder when I move to the close up shot of the heat press. I will do another heat transfer video in the future covering a full color laser transfer paper that is a 2-part process. The paper weeds itself of the extra adhesive wherever toner is absent. Trimming is unnecessary.

This video covers Avery heat transfers, which are readily available at any office supply or Walmart. Keep in mind there are many different kinds and types of transfer papers. This particular one is designed for home use with an iron. Just make sure your iron is very, very hot and you should use a lot of pressure. Follow the instructions given with your Avery heat transfers as well.

I would suggest washing these shirts with extra water for the first time alone, or with a couple others that have just been pressed. This will help dilute any bleeding that may occur in the first wash. However many you want to wash at one time, just use more water than you normally would for a wash that size.

Please see the Heat Transfer page on the Catspit Productions website too. Look for articles that supplement the transfer videos.

hey where would be a nice place to get heat transfer paper. ? for a decent low price of course but i dont wanna order a huge amount like over 200 sheets would be too much for me

[CatspitProductions]

@admiralsnipe You could use the Catspit promo code for RhinoTech and get some of their Neeneheat papers or you can use the Ryonet code too. They have some transfer supplies as well. You can get a discount with the code and save on shipping too with qualifying orders. See the Print Supplies page of the Catspit website. The link is on the channel page. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

hi, do you have to get a certain ink to print on the paper? and can you use normal computer paper rather than heat transfer paper? please get back to me thankyou

[CatspitProductions]

@LewieBrownTown Standard inkjet heat transfers use standard inkjet ink the printer comes with. Heat transfer paper and computer paper are not the same. Computer paper will not work. You need to use heat transfer paper for this to work like in the video. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

@salvador608 Then you simply have to use a laser heat transfer paper. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Entonces sólo tiene que utilizar un papel de transferencia de calor con láser. Gracias por su atención y dejar un comentario! ☠

[salvador608]

@davidcosta04 Print it onto heat transfer paper with a computer and an inkjet printer. Watch part 1 of this video for more information and I have other videos on heat transfers that will help you out. Look for the playlist on heat transfers on my channel page.
