Sometimes last minute events may come up requiring you to showcase your designs to the public, and transfer paper using an inkjet printer is the way to go.
One of the classic but often forgotten ways of quickly printing t shirts at home is the transfer paper method we show in this video. Whether you’re a high school student or a parent looking to make a couple of shirts for friends, transfer paper printing is a fast and convenient way to get a small batch of t-shirts.
Next time you’re in a bind like I was when I found out my niece and nephew were having a dinosaur themed birthday, consider using this method to printing your t-shirt designs. The best part about it is, that so far the design we printed have held up after multiple washes, even after being submerged in a pool!

I hope this video helped you realize how easy it is to print t-shirts at home! Right now I’d like to address some common questions I’ve been seeing in the comments. Before I do that I’d like to make it clear. I do not condone you stealing peoples art, and if you have any legal questions about art definitely consult an attorney :)
✅ Now one of the most common questions is what printer I used in this video. The printer I have is an Epson, but you can use ANY inkjet printer to pull this off. I have linked some items you can find on amazon which should help here. Keep in mind every printer is a little different, but as long as it uses INKJET it should work fine. I’ve done this with other printers before: www.amazon.com/shop/jaycashofficial
✅The next questions is how long does it last? In my experience transfer paper is good for a few washes, You’ll need to follow the care instructions if you plan on keeping it looking good for a longer time. I washed the design 20 times and dried it as well, and I had posted the results in the story for everyone to see. If you didn’t see it, it started to crumble up a bit. That was with regular washing/ drying. So I recommend this printing method for promotion/ samples for you to show a few times. This works perfect for events/ parties!
✅Now if you’re actually wanting to start your own custom clothing line, I encourage you to watch some of the videos on my channel and checkout the free resources we provide you here: bit.ly/Free-Apparel-Training
How can I get the printing machine
I have been watching you channel
And I know I can do it because I love art work's
I want to start up my business
Can the shirt be wash ?
Hey is it water proof I'm afraid that the colour will fade when Im washing the t shirt

Whats the best inkjet ink to use? Something in HD and vibrant?
ROTFLMAO! YOUR BROTHER LOOKS LIKE MCLOVIN FROM SUPERBAD!
😂😂😂
😂💀
🤣😂🤣😂 I thought I was the only one...
Take off that vest you look like Pinocchio lol love super bad
Definitely
So my brother is here to help, camera pans over " WHAT'S GOIN ON PLAYAS" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
We used to print custom artwork on our T-shirts at home almost 16 years ago but this is the first time I’ve seen a difference between light and dark transfer papers.
this was the best explanation ive seen of how to this entire process it was well paced and easy steps to follow thanks man
You’re brother is mclovin 😭
chicka chicka yeaaa! 😂
Guun Gamo facts 🤣🤣🤣
So true! Espceially with the "whats going on playas"
Amazing video, the quality and how y’all explain everything is very simple and straight to the point 😉👌🏼
oooo! Me and my sister were wondering about this last week! thank you for the info!
You guys just opened a whole new world for me. I thank you!
Dude, John, you have gotten so much better at design ever since I first started following you like 4 years ago. I know the design was very simple to make but great choice for the video. It always feels great to create and have people fall in love with your work.
You can use PPD paper as well. I used infinity designer to create my own art. On the Epson WF printer it has mirror option in the settings.
This is the BEST instructional video I've seen on using Canva to design images and then print them using an inkjet printer!!
I love when y'all do that. That sets y'all apart from all TH-camrs on this topic
He actually looks like mclovin 🤣
OneManClick 🤣🤣
I was just about to comment that 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂Great minds think alike
Hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Yeeeesssssssssss
How durable are these? Do they last? How long before they peel, chip, crack? I assume not as well as a direct to garment print but is it worth it?
About one wash only, after one wash it cracks
From the start of the video I liked your energy. I really appreciate you for educating me!
This has actually been the most helpful video yet. Thanks!
Hey man, thank you so much for walking us through this! But I was wondering, what if you're stretching the shirt, will the image start having these little cracks in them?
Which Epson Printer is that?
Yo you are all right with me. I like how you came back with answering questions
He straight up went McLovin style!! Love it!! Subbed!!
Great video. I used to make shirts like this way back in the day.
Does the print of the shirt will last?
LaTrisha Smith- Barney does it last if it gets washed
i’m looking through comments to see if this actually works bUT ALL Y’ALL CARE ABOUT IS MCLOVIN WITH A VEST
Watch BIG BRANDOH way better more detailed
LOL
maybe if u watch the video u would see if it works.....hmmmmm
Lmao hahaha
I spit out my coffee!
Thank you soooo muchhh man you guys nailed it and answered all my question
Thanks on the hook up with the up to date info on the whole Bella Canvas retail tees🤘
Alot of great information! Thank you
🙌
Who checked the length of the video once he said “Let’s set the timer for an hour” 😂😂
😂 thank you for sticking around
John Santos Well it was touch and go there for a minute 😂
me
Such a big fan! pls, do more! u are also so underrated, hope you get some more subs soon!
Just recently subscribed to your channel. Learning so much already. I love the camaraderie of you and your brother. And yes dude, he is a Latino McLovin. Have him take some acting classes, he could do something with that.
Mclovin just taught me that printer’s don’t print white. 🤯 I never knew that or thought about it. Ha
i dont get. if thats true is there anyway to print those white details on black shirt?
Plyde Trinidad
If you just took a paper and ironed it on the shirt without printing anything the dark fabric paper will appear as white while the light fabric paper will be transparent. So if you were using a black shirt and didn’t want any white to appear on the picture you could either use the dark fabric paper and cut all white off or use the light fabric paper and just leave it transparent. Meanwhile it works either way for a white shirt.
Well, printer dont print white, the parts that gonna appear as white, they just leave it out, since papers are white
HAHAHA I THOUGHT THE SAME XD
Lmao
I've been waiting for this bro, yours is different
thanks brotha 🙏
Exactly what I needed to see! Thx brr👍
oh! awesome! new sub! been thinking of making my own shirts. tnx guys! all d best!
Hi brother, first I am thank you so much for your nice video training. I did the mug printing process also. The question is what model of printer? and need to replace toner or not? Because for my mug printing change to another toner to support with the transfer paper. (not use original toner) , can you please detail this? Thank you so much. Viro
I laughed at the end! This is pretty good! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, brother! Thank you.
Nice presentation, informative and sweet touch.
when you flipped the camera and he said, what's going on players! I'm like woah ! who is that sexy guy ;)
Really? Well he looks confident wearing that vest
gay
Thank you for this video! I just ordered my shirts then I thought of doing it by myself. Very detailed so I'm trying it! The ending was fun btw. :) Thanks again!
did you try it? it works?
how did it turn out im dying
Yes. Yes. Yes. This video is what I needed. Thank you sooo much
You're so welcome!
That t-shirt that was printed was beautiful!!!!❤️
This looks like a Vegas backyard 😂😂the sky, the fence, the mountains , the drought landscaping, the pavers lol
I was thinking the same thing.
Hi! After following proper paper/application steps. Let’s say when all is done and a T-shirt is gifted to others how is the printed design affected being washed and dried in machines? Does it rub off after multiple washes/dries or start to crack and peel?
I see this awesome video was posted 1 year ago - hopefully you both see my gratitude and question. Happiest birthdays!
Ive used this process & it lasts better with heat press..ive gotten yrs out of shirts made this way but they do fade eventually...high heat (I use about 350 to 375)seems to seal it better..but tell customers to wash on cold /delicate/inside out to be on the safe side- edit: you can also use an eco tank printer and switch your printer ink (sub ink or pigment)
@@BadTV1993 Excellent information 👍🏿
Hey John! My name's Duncan.! I'm from New Zealand.! Taranaki!.
I'm developing a new interest in T-shirt printing.! I've seen you and your partner's/wife's video too! They are both helpful definitely.
We need individuals out there like you both that help others.! It's a wonderful thing to see.! God Bless you and your family.! Stay safe and keep well and healthy during this covid 19 level 2/1.!?
I've tried my hand at my first attempt however I failed. Anyway I don't want to give up either. Like these wise quotes/sayings from famous people. "Never Say Never".! Justin Bieber. Pop Star. "You Gotta Believe".! Michael Jackson.! The true King of Pop. The legend. The icon. "Get back up on the horse" as they say.
To begin with I have a few blank t-shirts. I think they're 100% cotton. I've had a while since buying in Singapore.! 2009/2010.! They're Gildan cotton brand I think. Classic style.
I carried out iron-on transfer process. A little while ago now. By using:
pillowcase. Stanley knife. Wooden chopping board. Wooden table surface. Iron. Transfer paper for light and Dark transfer. Scissors. This the equipment I used.
I've chosen some images by finding on google. That I like. I've not been able to think up my own designs as of yet. I'm sorry about that.
They're of animals. Wrestlers. Quotes/sayings. Movie poster titles.
Now to the type of printer I own at home. I only have inkjet epson printer WF2540 series. Model number C471A.
I believe I followed instructions on transfer paper down to a T. However the final result after coming out of the wash cycle wasn't great at all. 🤔😟😞😢
I know and understand there's different ironing times for dark and light transfers. Relating to image size and preheating of iron itself relating to total ironing times.
I did remember to flip image when using light transfers.
I think the wash cycle I chose was where I went wrong. It could also be the speed of the wash. The temperature I used. I may not have waited 24 hours. Prior to washing it. Maybe forgot to turn inside out.
Also could've been how I printed it out. Did print on transfer paper after doing normal paper test.
I chose best quality (recommended) on my printer as there's no iron-on setting to click on. I forgot to choose matte setting for paper I think. This could help. I chose normal print paper I think.
I'm not thinking about selling yet. It was just for personal use for now. Until I think up designs for a selling point.
Could you please write back to offer me some advice and maybe help me out a bit on this process I've written up. Thank-you. John.

Amazing video!! Thanks so much! ❤️🦖
OMG, his bro is the best
Extremely helpful!! Thank you so much
Thanks Mr. john Santos, I really enjoy this your little video on how to print on t-shirt with iron....very impressive, but my question is that did you use normal (bond) paper to print the write up or there is another paper you use to print, if yes what is the name of the paper use and what type of printer can we use to print our write up?
This was a good video and your brother is hilarious 😂
Hey thanks for the video i just subscribed. Can you tell me what kind of printer you are using i know one is laser and the other one is an Epson. Because i would like to buy me just like you have since i already know that works. Thanks
Lol McLovin... WTF! I would have put him on camera too if he was my brother and dressed like that.
😭😭😭
Orale! Good stuff Johnny!
Loved this video! 🙌🏾
I loved it when McLovin came in that was dope 😁
😂😂😂😂
I thought was mcloving😂
You guys are adorable!
That was really helpful man.
you turned the camera around on your brother and I was like MCLOVIN!!!!!!!
That bop at the end!
Any job in garments field.
Stitching and finshing department.
great info! thank so much! question, can you use that brand of transfer paper with a heat press? does it work the same as the iron you used?
Love these thank you guys!!!
Glad you like them!
Your brother looking like mclovin 😂😂 old enough to party aye
😂 My brother Seez is hilarious.
🕺🏽
HELLO DOES THIS WORK ON A COTTON JACKET
Hey thanks so much for the video!
What exact espon printer did you use?

Brother looking like McLOVIN! Nice 😂🤙🏽
😂

Your brother and his brown vest reminded me of Superbad lmao
😂
What’s up playasss ;McLovin’!!

Lil man wasn't havin it at the end. Gave em a nice hard hat stamp.
... read some comments... skipped ahead to McLovin.. not dissapointed... such gold - thx
I have the Epson XP 6000 can I doing my printing with it
That one seems like it's an inkjet. But make sure you checkout this part of the video to make sure: 3:59
You can’t tell me your brother doesn’t look like McLovin from Superbad 😂😂😂
Lmbo!!!! Your brother is too funny with his vest.
Awesome John
I have a question so i have a cannon ink jet printer and i was trying to do a shirt but i had a hard time the picture was kind of faded and i think it was because i ran out of ink do you have any tips
New ink would help, but I'd also check the quality of the paper. Some of them don't cure the best.
@@johnxsantos ok thanks whats the best quality paper you would recommend
This is a good business while studying , because it's easy. Believe me haha
Do the t shirts last long enough for you to sell though
Yep, just don't wash it many times.
Good job guys thanks
Hey I love this thanks
Hey John,
Can you do a how to video, a more in-depth on how to design your design.
What software you used and how you sent it to your printed, would really appreciate it. Thank you
What kind of affordable printer do you recommend?
have u got the answer. i have the same question
MC LOVEN BROOO YESS I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK NOW I GOT THIS HOMIE ON THE TEAM
You guys are great
Does it matter which way you put the transfer paper in the printer?
It does actually, if you place it the incorrect way it will not be applied correctly to your garment.
John Santos thank you so much!💓💕❤️💝💕❤️
@@johnxsantos @Avakin Jocelyn if you guys could elaborate it would be nice
Great video and great family. Thank you.
@@johnxsantos What is the correct way then...
Your brother dressed up like McLovin lmao
Since this was done using iron and not sublimation printer, what heat temperature did you apply?
Hi. Just came across your channel and I'm doing alot of research. I have a question. For images like these do you have to use sublimation ink? Thanks in advance
I love your brothers corniness lol “I love my little brown vest!!”
He's hilarious. Love my bro!!
Your brother parties like Napoleon Dynamite
good job and nice promo video
i like your viedo so ill try it. thanks
McLovin!!!
Family Time 💪🏼👌🏼🙌🏼
Bro can you please tell me what Inc you used to print.. Is it Sublimation Inc or regular Inc or any other
Question. Could we use a heat press instead of an iron & if so at what temp and pressure would you suggest
it'd probably work better with a heat press. TBH I haven't tried it with that so I don't know. If someone on here reads it and has, help a brotha out 🙌🏽
@@johnxsantos well i just ordered the transfer paper and i will be trying it this week. i will keep all posted
@@johnxsantos used the heat press and it worked. 360 degrees, pressure at 7 and for 30 seconds
@@gabriellopera907 how did the shirt hold up?
@@OGEmotions after 2 washes it looked bad. I would only do this technique in an emergency or if the person just wants something very economical & doesn't care about it lasting
Hi, can we wash the T-shirts after the print on?
Yes but under 30 Celcium
no never, why?
That was my question if you're using ink out of your home printer when it gets wet when it run
Awesome video big dawg! Was curious to see if you know why my colors would come out faded? Is there a certain setting or ink I’m supposed to use? If you could answer that would be awesome
Hey bro, first off thanks for all the info. second, I am in the process of starting my own little shirt printing business, Is there a good printer you’d recommend? Thanks
