If you’ve never seen a t-shirt heat press in action, then you’re in for a real treat… Watch the video below to see how you can effortlessly print t-shirt after t-shirt with a t shirt press machine, blank t-shirts and custom screen printed heat transfers.
As you can see, no messy inks and hazardous fumes being inhaled into your lungs. The t-shirt heat press machine I’m using will allow you to get the same quality print as you would from a screen printer…
If you’re buying a new heat press, expect to pay anywhere from$750 – $1,800. BUT… if you’re strapped for cash and you’re just trying to get started, I’d recommend you buy used. You can find these on Craigslist.com for about $300 – $500.00. If you look hard enough, you might get lucky and find one for about $200 bucks!
We also carry a Gecko brand heat press machine that is cheaper and works well to get you started… Start here, then upgrade if you feel the need too. I’ve used these machines quite successfully and quite frankly, you can apply the savings towards getting your t-shirt designs made and put onto transfers.

Do you have a service in which your team can actually build a website in regards to selling T-shirts. The only thing i know to get started is that i need to create a domain name and that’s about it.
Yes we can. E-mail us here: tshirtriches@gmail.com
Hello Carter. I really loved your website and I’m learning a lot from it. You’re such a good man sharing all your knowledge regarding this business.
I have one question for you. Does Gecko Heat Press will do a similar job as your Hotronix Heat Press? If I purchase Gecko Heat Press, can I use that to start my home based business? Hoping to hear from you. Thanks! armirose
Absolutely. It’s a great machine to get you going immediately. Check out craigslist first. You could likely find a GREAT deal for cheaper. There’s nothing wrong with buying a used machine. My first machine was purchased used and I used it for several years.
I am checking.. Will follow up with you via email!
Not sure I understand your question about ‘pro spray’? Yes — any shirt that’s 100% cotton or blended with cotton/polyester (50/50) will work fine.
Yes, if you plan on using a heatpress.
Hello Cartess. Good tutorial but about the design paper, how can I make the design and how can I mass produce the same design for example, if I want to make 500 shirts with the same design?
If you’re not already familiar with graphic design software, you’ll need to hire a freelance designer (we cover this in detail in our online course and point you to affordable designers).
The designers will take your ideas and bring them to life –you’ll then take that artwork and send it to vendors who specialize in custom screen printed transfers – at which time you can order your 500 quantity and print from home with your heat press.
Let me know if u have additional questions!
Any color printer will do as far as printing the design.
If you are not familiar with the process of creating designs to print. I would suggest hiring a graphic artists.
Hello Cartess,
Once I’m done hot pressing my t-shirt, there is this “visible square leftover from the transfer paper” around my design.
Is there any way I can get rid of it?
Is it the transfer paper that I’m using, where am I going wrong with this?
Thank you very much!
It’s the paper you’re using — transfers printed from your printers will do this… Screen printed transfers won’t leave that, which is why we strongly recommend them.

Hi, would I be able to heat press the screen printed transfers onto 100% polyester and other materials that burn easy.
HI Beck,
We recommend 50-50, or 100% cotton shirts. Unless, you plan to offer sublimation printing. Sublimation printing allows you to print on non-cotton items.
