The inkjet transfer paper wash test results are in… If you haven’t seen the first two videos in this series, go here and watch right now before proceeding:
- Inkjet Transfer Paper [Part 1]
- Inkjet Transfer Paper [Part 2]
I’ve teamed up with the manufacturer of these transfers and I’m able to offer them to you for about 5% less than what they charge. I’ll be doing a test on the “dark transfers” later in the week and should have the results posted next week.

About Cartess Ross
Mr. Ross,
Glad I purchased the course, it is very helpful. If I were to purchase the transfers from you, how soon would I have them delivered to me? Also could you provide some possible embroidering businesses, as you made it a point about expanding that service to the business?
The transfers will take any where from 5-7 business days. Unfortunately, we do not offer embroidery services.
Thank you for the kind words! We do have videos that provide step by step instructions on how to use the heat press machine. If you haven’t signed up for our course please do. There’s info there and a videos that will answer any questions you have.
The information on where to purchase the transfer is included in the third video which is on our home page.
Your info has been so helpful. I have a line that I’m preparing to launch and the info you give in your coarse has been a great help. I want to cut cost as much as I can since I’m funding this from the start. Thanks.
Thank you very much! Please keep us informed on your progress!
whats the official website that sells these transfer paper? thnks
We have the information provided below the videos. Please click the link below http://www.tshirtriches.com/inkjet-transfer-paper-part3/
Thanks for the info. I haven’t seen pre-printed licensed transfers from brands like Braves, Knicks, Disney, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist… As you stated, when dealing with brands like these, it’s best to consult with the company to ensure you’re buying from an authorized/licensed vendor.
The baby rompers in the video were officially licensed products.
good news I’m finally buying my very own heat press this Friday it seems.. and I also plan on buying ur advanced course.. hopefully it really helps me out.. but then again they’res nothing but good things being said about you..!
Awesome!!! Congrats on taking action — you’ll be extremely excited when your machine shows up. Don’t stop — keep moving and you’ll be fine in this biz!
Hi Jim,
Hold on…. Let me go feel it right quick — I didn’t pay too much attention to it after I applied it to the shirt.
Alrighty… I’m back. Had to go find it. My daughter wears it as her ‘nightgown’.
It felt pretty good to me… Some of the other transfers will definitely feel like a very STIFF patch, but this feels much better.
I think it’ll work and pass — all transfer papers aren’t created equal. These are much better than the ones purchased from retail stores.
Sorry about that… The companies I’ve used for embroidering services were always local. I found those in local small towns often gave the best rates.
Let them know you’re in the apparel business and that you’re looking for wholesale rates because you’ll be ordering in quantity.
Let them know you’ll be supplying them with the garments because if they get them for you, they’ll mark them up.
Make a few local calls — you’ll be surprised at how cheap you can get quality embroidery services for.
If you get into embroidery, you’ll need ‘digitizing’ services… They may charge you pretty high for that — but turn to the internet to get better rates.
In case you don’t know, digitization means you send over the picture or image you want to be embroidered, and they’ll take that image and convert into a format that allows their machines to stitch your designs.
You can find great rates on these online and since they’ll e-mail you the final digitized file, you can simply pass it on to your local embroiderer who will then start working on your garments!
Hope this helps!
I can’t really answer your question because like you, I’m new to this method of printing. I’ve always and continue to use custom screen printed transfers.
However, you can print onto hoodies/sweatshirts with these transfers.
I don’t know how long they will last — but using good paper and pigmented inks will ensure a longer lasting product — I hope to interview someone on this topic soon and hopefully that’ll shed some light on this topic!
Thanks for the feedback Paula… It’s appreciated!
Hmmm…. Hadn’t done that before. Can you slip a fabric on the inside?
Transfer Express sell them:
http://www.transferexpress.com
Unfortunately, I haven’t used this method of printing to make my tees…. So I can’t really give you an ‘expert’ opinion.
However, it seems many people prefer the inkjet route because those machines are cheaper to get and the there’s a bunch of different types of transfer paper available for inkjet versus laser transfers.
It appears lots of people agree that ‘pigmented’ inks are best when using inkjet transfers.
I’ll be interviewing someone soon hopefully on this topic and they’ll be able to share much more information.
Good deal. I really like what you’re doing. Keep up the GOOD work. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words!
We are selling the blank transfer paper for those who wish to print on their own printer from home… Sorry for the confusion.
I’ve since washed them 3 more times and so far they hold up — still the same quality as I showed on the video after 3 additional washes. I haven’t worn them — the shirt is to small — I’m starting a diet next week
Wonderful that’s good news! I really do enjoy your tapes. And I’m look forward to getting started in my own T-shirt business. So the tapes, training and all the information I get from you is very important to me. I really enjoy listening and learning from you. Thank you and may God bless you.
Thanks for the kind words!
The only true way around that would be getting custom screen printed transfers. We have a supplier list here: http://www.tshirtriches.com/mod2-screen-printed-transfers/
Hi Amirov,
Depending on the size of the design you want to print, you’ll select either the 8.5×11 or the 11×17. Depending on the color of the shirts, in which; you’ve already stated have light and dark shirts. So, you’ll need to purchase the transfers to do light shirts and the dark shirts. Again, depending on the size you wish to print the design. You have the options to select the 8.5×11 or the 11×17.
Please don’t hesitate to email us with any questions you my have @ tshirtriches@gmail.com.
Thank you!
Hey,
We have transfers available for purchase.
Please click the link and scroll down towards the end.http://www.tshirtriches.com/inkjet-transfer-paper-part3/
Another thing, There are several abode programs that are used to create designs just to name a few, photoshop, illustrator and design. I’m assuming you are not a designer, since you are asking how to create designs. If you are not a designer, or not familiar with any of the software. I would highly recommend hiring a graphic artist to create the designs for you. The software that are used to create designs; are extremely difficult and there’s a huge learning curb for anyone who’s getting started.
The time it will take you to learn the software and learn how to create a design that anyone would want to buy from you; that could have been time put towards your business.
…mr. Ross…do you make shipping in the Philippines…i want to order transfer papers…thanks you..God bless!
Hi Jules,
I deeply apologize, we are only shipping within the US.
Hi Anthony,
As long was the printer, prints in color you should be fine. You’ll just need the transfer paper for inkjet or laser depending on the type of printer you have.
Hi Luke,
It has been determined that the laser color printer is better than the inkjet printer.
The transfers are basically another alternative for those who can not afford to have their designs screen printed. This method does not take away from the quality of having designs screen printed, and can not compare it the quality of having designs screen printed.
However, this method is much better than purchasing the transfers from local stores. There is a difference. Again, this shouldn’t be used as a permanent solution to selling tshirts to clients. You want your clients to purchase from you over and over again. The only way you’ll be able to do that is by supplying your clients with a quality product.
Again, these transfers just allows those who want to get their business started but can’t afford right off to have the designs screen printed.
Hi Bob,
If you have a laser printer than use the laser sheets, and the same will apply if you have the inkjet printer, you’ll need to use the inkjet sheets.
Hi,
We sell the transfers, you may purchase the transfers by clicking the link below.

Hey Cartess, so I was wondering if you ever did the test on the “dark transfers” and how it came out if you did. I saw that Arlid also asked and that a link was posted but it doesn’t open up the video for “dark transfers” and only re-opens the inkjet transfer paper part 3, the one for light transfers. Thank you!
If you would, please click the link below to view all 3 videos and to place an order for the transfers, if you like.

Thanks!
Hi Cartess, so do these transfer papers that you sell have the white outline around it after it is heat pressed?
Yes… It’s not as bad as the ones from the store, but you can still see the outline.
Hi Cartess,
Where do you get the bib blanks and baby romper blanks? Where can I find all those different kinds of blanks other than just T-shirts?
We have a source list available for purchase. The source list includes various companies to purchase custom, and pre-made transfers. As well as blank t-shirts at wholesale cost.
The price for custom transfers will be determined by the amount of colors you have in your design. If you are on a tight budget then I would recommend no more than 2 colors in the design. The more colors in the design the more it will cost to have the designs screen printed onto the release paper.
If you would, please click the link below to purchase the source list.

Where can I go online to get my designs printed on to the transfer paper that you use in your other videos?
Hi Chrisitan,
We have a source list available for purchase. The source list includes various companies to purchase custom, and pre-made transfers from a list of transfer vendors.
The price for custom transfers will be determined by the amount of colors you have in your design. If you are on a tight budget then I would recommend no more than 2 colors in the design. The more colors in the design the more it will cost to have the designs screen printed onto the release paper.

Great videos (as usual). I bought your course a couple weeks ago and finally got all the parts in (heat press, t shirts, printer, inks, transfer sheets, etc) Question I have is when your doing a t shirt with a front (left breast) and full back design is there any special setup procedures for doing that?? For instance – do the front first and let it cool for 15 minutes and then press the back, or??? Put a Teflon sheet down under the shirt before pressing the back after doing the front. Just so I am clear and not wasting t shirts . Thanks for all your help.
Hi Larry,
We thank you for your kind words. Honestly, there’s no right or wrong way on pressing shirts and using a teflon sheet is not recommended. If you would, please click the link below to watch how Cartess press 40 shirts for a fundraiser.

Hello Cartess,
I was wondering if you have art work with a lot of colors and details, would a laser printer with it’s transfer paper work better? I would like to have the best images possible on my shirts. If so, what laser printers would you recommend?
Vince
Hi Vince,
Currently, we recommend any of the Epson ink jet printers. While some are better than others.
Hey Cartess
I purchase a Silhouette Cameo cutting tool machine for 269.00 and for the person who is wanted to customize their Tshirt this machine is great it cut plain paper card board vinyl heat transfers fabric and it cuts intricate design PLEASE CHECK IT OUT ON YOU TUBE its a inexpensive machine that people who want to customize their own T-SHIRTS AT HOME. MAYBE YOU CAN MENTION IT IN ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS
THANKS GEORGE
Cartess,
Thank you for another great group of videos! Just when this all seems overwhelming as far as expenses go, you bring the answer of relief! Since watching your advanced modules (date started 01/28/13), I”m now incorporated, got a domain name and website, got 2 of my original designs created and working on the third and ordered wholesale stock transfers; I project that I’ll officially be up and running by next week! Thank you and your family for being and inspiration and encouragement!
Sylvia (02/12/13)
Thanks for the kind words Sylvia… Looks like you all are off to a GREAT start. Please keep us posted on your success!
I have recently became partially paralyzed and lost my job so i started making shirts thru cafe press.but not happy with the quality so i found you on you tube and decided to follow your tutorials and advice for starting my own business. I figure i need some income and have actually made money across the U.S. thru the other site. But i can make alot more doing it myself. I am going to start off with the injet heat transfers till i build up a little income then move up to the screen print transfers. So question i wanted to ask is what do you use if you want to print on truckers hats or caps? Same process? different machine? Thanks so much, your vids are great. god bless T.
Hi Tom,
Sorry to hear of your situation. Yes, you’ll need a hat press machine in order to print onto hats. Yes, it’s pretty much the same process just another size, etc.
Hello, I am looking at buying some of this transfer paper, my question is do you know if anyone have taking the transfer paper to like office max, or office depot and had a design mass produced? Do you think that is a good idea?
Hi James,
We haven’t done it but I imagine it will not work to try it!
when you say factory ink, what do you mean? Is this the ink included in with the wf printers?
Hi Tonya,
All printers come with ink. However, we do not recommend using the inks that come with the printer. We recommend the high pigment inks for best quality as far as printing your own designs from a printer. Of course this method does not replace screen printed plastisol transfers, but it’s much better than transfers in stores and using any inks that comes with your printer.
