Heat Press Experiments

So I've had my heat press for over 6 months and I finally decided to start on some prints. I have tested on standard tshirts for sisters dance crew TKO, baby onesies, and some cute dog tees. I am simply utilizing my Roland Verscamm Printer and using a ESM-HTM2 Heat Transfer Material and a clap heat press to bake the prints onto fabric. Its alot better than screen printing because I can use as many colors as I want. Its also a stretchy material and is suppose to last about 80+ washes! =) So far its been a lot of trail and error, but I do feel more confident about the results! =)

Below are some samples of the heat press experiment:

A) TKO Dance Crew Tshirts for my lil sisters little dance crew at her high school. They are awesome! =)

B) Doggie Tees! My cute lil model Tofu "Handsome Boy" Truong

C) Testing out some baby onesies! I made some for my friends baby showers since everyone seems to be having babies! geebus =P

D) Care Labels Testing on 100% Cotton for Morris & Terry line ::: www.morrisandterry.com



Its amazing all the wonderful feedback I am getting from family and friends! I guess I need to set up a pricing. My goal is to be fair and fresh! hehe Time will come and I will be ready to fully execute. I was just thinking about the possibilities: bags, decor, pillow cases, table clothes, etc...

I plan to move back to midtown/downtown this summer, so I will set up a space where I can have my creative space and elevate! <3
