How To Screen Print: T Shirt Heat Transfers At Home #1

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.

1st off thanks for all your videos! I've watched a ton of them! Quick question......you said the Avery inkjet transfer paper is for only white tees, do they sell the paper for dark color tees? Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge! Let me know if your hiring hahahaha

[CatspitProductions]

@ChrisTorina1 You’re welcome, thanks. Glad you like my videos. I think Avery does make some transfers for black or dark garments. But you would have to check that out. I have links for some Avery transfer paper on Amazon.com on my website. You can find them on the Transfer Articles page. It's my pleasure to help out good luck! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

Hi catspit I was just wondering....If I was using a inkjet printer what ink do I use? do I use a normal ink that can print into normal paper or is there a fabric ink for printers? im a bit confuse with that stage. Can you please make a video showing how to print the design into the transfer paper and what ink to use etc. thanks catspit:)

[CatspitProductions]

@spike10000000 You use standard inkjet inks made for your printer for a standard inkjet heat transfer paper like this one. I’ll see what I can do about the video request. Please stay tuned... Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

Thanks for taking the time to put these videos up. I've just started looking at print screening and your videos have been immensely helpful.

@dxhatch95 This is Avery inkjet transfer paper. You can get it online at the Catspit website under the Transfer Articles tab in the navigation menu. You should watch the video again and make sure to read the annotations as well. All the information you need is in the video. And make sure to watch part 2. That will fill in some missing info as well. Thanks for watching and commenting! ☠

Q:what type of paper are you ink jetting the transfer onto from the printer?

[CatspitProductions]

@Seonsmith1988 You’re’ welcome, my pleasure. For dark shirts you have to use a transfer paper made for dark garments. And if you want a large print, you will need the appropriate size transfer paper, the ability to print it and a heat press big enough to press it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
