Each month, untold numbers of people enter the "t-shirt" business. Some think all they have to do is get a bunch of shirts, an iron and any printer and start printing. Others who have the cash, go way overboard and spend money on equipment/supplies they don't really need.

Yes! There is a difference between a sublimation ink heat transfer and a pigmented ink heat transfer. No, you cannot heat press a sublimation transfer onto 100% cotton as the design will wash out after the first wash.

What do I need? What size heat press? Why can't I use my iron at home do to this? How do I sell? Who are my customers? How do I sell online? What kind of ink and printer do I need? How do I find my selling price.

These questions and more are covered on the video cd's and we have found through years of actual experience that, with the proper training, wasted inks, t-shirts, etc... are just about eliminated due to bad imprinting, ghosting, etc...

We started selling our video cd's on Ebay in 2003 and have sold well over 1,000 video cd's. The thank you's and comments we have received confirm that our video cd's are working.
