Heat Transfers 101 Part 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.

I do not have any artwork for that movie and I am unfamiliar with it. Artwork such as you are speaking about is protected by copyrights. You could make one for yourself and a friend but that is about it. In order to stay in good standing with YouTube, I avoid showing or using very popular and easily recognized artwork. Thanks for the comment!
Depending on your …
Depending on your artwork, self weeding transfer paper has many advantages. It is not always necessary, but over all I would say it is better than traditional consumer brand transfer papers. Some self weeding transfer papers require 60 pounds of pressure or more during pressing. Most of them are used by professional shirt printers due to the equipment needed to use the self weeding transfer paper properly. Thanks for watching!

You can buy a used heat press like this one for about $200 to $400 US dollars. I would think you should be able to buy one in India. If not, I can direct you to someone. Email me through my website for equipment inquiries.

If you want to print white text on a black shirt the best way is to screen print it. If you want to heat press it then you could use cad cut vinyl and press that. But you would need a roll of heat transfer vinyl, a plotter to cut it on and the software to do it with. And that transfer vinyl works with a heat press. Search vinyl transfers on YouTube to find videos on this. Also check my favorites list.

Yes, you can use an iron. Just set it to the highest setting and use good pressure. See the heat transfer article on the website for tips too. Thanks for watching!
