Transferring Designs To Fabric

Customer Service & Information Page

Putting photos and artwork onto fabric is becoming ever more popular and easier and easier to do with advances in technology. Now, anyone can do it - young or old.

There are several choices depending upon what you would like to do. You can:

  1. Print photos or artwork onto Transfer paper with a computer & an InkJet or Bubble Jet printer & then iron or heat press the images onto fabric or clothing.

    Papers for Light and Dark clothing can be found here: InkJet Transfer paper.

  2. Print photos or artwork directly onto fabric. This requires a computer and an InkJet or Bubble Jet printer. The size of the fabric you can print on is determined by your printer - some only accept 8.5 x 11" sheets, some also take 8.5" wide by any length rolls when in "banner" mode. Of course, there are also wider printers (wide format) as well. To get good and permanent results, it makes a difference if your fabric is cotton, rayon or silk.

    For printing on Silk, you can use:

    A. Bubble Jet Set - dip your fabric into this liquid, iron onto freezer paper, print on it, remove the paper.

    B. Print on Silk - Does not require steam setting. Treated silk fabric with a removable paper backing. Just put in printer and print. Available in 8.5 x 11" sheets as well as rolls in several silk type-width-length combinations.

    For printing on Cotton or Rayon, you can use:

    B. Print on Cotton - Treated cotton sheeting fabric with a removable paper backing. Just put in printer and print. Available in 8.5 x 11" sheets as well as rolls in several fabric type-width-length combination's.

About Tiered Discount Levels

You can combine cotton and rayon clothing & accessories to get the greatest discounts. Your discount is figured on the total number of cotton and rayon items we ship, not how many of each type, style or size. Mix and match them to get the best discount.

Example: adding 4 each of 3 different T-shirts in any sizes will give you the 12+ price on all 12 shirts.
