- Hello Lumedia family! I am going to show you how put pictures on shirts. Today I will give you my opinion on what I think is the best heat transfer paper for your inkjet printer to use on custom t-shirts for your stay at home business (neenah 3g opaque dark garment heat transfer paper). If you do not have a DTG printer or a way to do screen printing this is a good way to offer your customers graphic tees, birthday t-shirts, or any other apparel. You can put this on various fabrics and materials. I also give you other tips like the best and cheap inkjet printer to use. Start to print shirts at home and add it to your lists of services. Thank you for watching and I hope this video helped you out!

Tip: after it's pressed you should stretch it out a little. This will train it to be more flexible and making it not crack. Good video.
I have never tried this! Sounds like a good tip and I will definitely try it out! 😁 Thank you!
Definitely a good tip. I do it it’s that paper and plastisol transfers.
How do you strechit?
@@lobos9182 after its pressed just grab the sides of the shirt and pull it apart like rubber bands.
Dirty South great tip.
I tried it, got the exact printer, paper and it came out vibrant like you said! I also stretch the shirt slightly after I pressed it so it would adhere and it's very flexible. I'm still blown away at how easy and vibrant the colors are...Thanks Man!
Geechie Dan love to hear that it worked out for ya! Thank you for watching!
Geechie Dan Did the printer come with vibrant ink?
@@jimetra100 It came with the basic ink, but the Neenah 3G for some reason makes the prints vibrant...I printed 2 different designs and the colors are vibrant, after heat pressing them, they are still vibrant
What printing paper brand. Is it ?? I'm hopen my canon ink jet printer I by works good. ..I started of. This way but back before photo shop only had paint shoo pro lol n paper ones design was heat set onto t shirts it dident larst long thru washing that was in late 98//

Your video has actually been the MOST HELPFUL from the 80 other professional videos that I've watched (some before and some after yours) Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge, I wish you a lot of success!
I didn’t know I was looking for a video like this until I watched it 😂👏🏽 This is a game changer for me. I tried screen printing and sucked at it so switched to vinyl. I won’t have to worry about layering colors anymore with this method. Thank you!!
Thank you for watching!!
Brrooooo i made me cry thank uuuuuuuuuuu sooo much. I was about to do aa custom printer for dtf printer and i didnt have money. I am going to try this. I ordered the paper now itself
I’ve been wanting to start a brand for about 10 years (since a kid) and this unemployment check hit & I saw my opportunity to make that dream come true. Came across this video and something about this guy made me go directly to amazon and cop everything he listed. Never comment on videos but I had to say something this time. Hopes are high, is it just me or does this seem like a genuine guy?
Hey Logan thank you for the kind words! If a clothing brand is what you are looking to start. Look at my 3 ways to print shirts from home video. I use this specific method in this video for certain things.
@@Lumedia Great video. I'm thinking about doing Solar T-shirts. I'm definitely a newbie to this. Could you give me a little info on the volume of ink that is normally used just on a regular colored transfer? Or how much ink you generally use to do say 30 shirts? Then I can gauge the amount I need to purchase. Thanks guy and keep it going.
What computer software are you using?
bobbiebrynt1 pro create
I agree he’s a genuine guy
Highly recommend getting a cricut explore air 2 or similar. Use it for contour cutting around the design. It is faster than cutting by hand in most cases, and more accurate, especially for those cuts you need to do in the middle of the design.
Nevermind, I see you already have one, lol!
I do have one! This video was made for people that do not have all the fancy tools to make a shirt at home and that it is possible to do it.
Silly question but How do we set up the Cricut 2 to cut the design perfectly ?
Dude saved me lol I'm I'm abouta start my own little fashion business and this video took a lot of weight off my shoulders
This is fantastic. Not only do you have a lot of helpful info in the video but you have linked everything I was going to ask about in the description. Thanks so much man!
I just started watching all your videos! Thanks for all your tips! They are so helpful. I'm just starting out. I haven't sold anything yet. I'm so thankful I found this channel. I'm doing research, then I'd like to start selling tshirts. Thanks again!
👕👕👕💲💲💲
Hey! Just saw your comment. Thank you for watching! Any updates? Either way stay tuned for future videos!
HP Instant Ink is AWESOME! We have the business level and its worth every cent! Great tip and thank you!
It is amazing! I signed up as soon as I heard about it. 😁
Is there a 13x19 hp printer that has the insta ink
Was looking for a better paper and your video confirmed for me that I should go with Neenah ..... Another tip .... Save money by never buying a teflon sheet again .... Parchment paper is just fine and only $2.00 for a whole roll .... Thx for the video 🤘🤘🤘
The Neenah paper really is great! I loved it the moment I first used it. And thank you for the tip, I will definitely be trying it out 😁
I just got it today at dollar tree!👏
My job gets boxes of parchment paper but it’s the waxed kind, is this usable or will the wax inhibit the heat transfer?
@@TheVyrus74 As long as it's silicon coated
TheVyrus74 do NOT use the paper that has a wax coating.
This is so helpful!! I'm in the process of starting my Custom clothing business and I've been watching videos about getting a great printer and transfer paper..!! Thank you so much 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This was the most legit and honest video I have seen.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for not a long video and someone who actually helped
good video man! I find with the fuzzy edges, I take a Sharpie and run it around the edge to colour them in black (or whatever) and when you press it, the Sharpie ink holds too. I have 11X17 sheets but often don't use the whole sheet. I can hand the off cuts to kids and let them draw whatever they want on them with Sharpies and press those too. I have an Epson Ecotank ET-7750. for all 5 inks, it costs about $100 but you get SO MANY prints from it. We're talking probably 200 full colour 8X10s. Best of all, when you buy this particular printer, it comes with 2 full sets of ink!!. So right off the hop you're good for a long time.
I am thinking of getting an Ecoprint. Any recommendation?
Is it possible to print 11x17 and if so, how?
Great content hermano. Good looking out for the Hente we need more business starts and less field workers. Rise up
You did a great job explaining the process ! Thank you so much for taking the time to really explain everything 👏👏
No problem! Thank you for watching
I really appreciate you telling me about HP Instant Ink. I’m going to save so much money. Also the t-shirt information is extremely helpful. Thanks!
How did it turn out with HP
Nice. Love this video but what i love most is your links. Simple and easy. Thank you
Thank you for using them!!!
Appreciate this Brotha! New to the game
Np!!! Thanks for watching!!
Facts might need more help from you
Are you using the ink that comes with the printer to print on the HTP ? Or do you order special ink? If I heard correctly you are using regular ink that is shipped monthly ( ink you would use for everyday printing in a home office - is that correct?
Love your videos by the way you make it look so easy !
I have an HP printer and the same HP ink plan. You have to keep your printer plugged in at all times so that they can keep track of when your printer starts running low on ink. When mine starts running low, HP seems me an email letting me know that my cartridges are on the way. I love not having to go purchase ink. They mail it right to me.
Also, I make shirts for my family when we have a special occasion. I don't use any special ink. Just the ink HP sends me.
i heard dye ink is bad and should use pigment ink for clothes is it true? does it wash easily ?
On other papers I have to change my paper setting to “matte paper” in order to get the color payoff. But I’m going to try this one and see what happens.
Thanks for the good information, help me a lot.
Thank you!! I'm trying to make a head covering for this mermaid costume I'm working on. Originally I was going to try and hand paint the scales.... But then I realized that I was very much overestimating my skills haha.
So I've been searching for good transfer paper tutorials all day. Most didn't seem like they world hold up, but this is exactly what I'm looking for! Easy to understand too
Hey,
Ive seen online that the transfer paper your using has a tonne of good reviews and is rated one of the top transfer papers you could use for printing on clothing, I've been looking for one that doesn't just "mess up" or ruin after a few washes, would you say this transfer paper lasts for a long time even going through the washing machine from your opinion?
I been researching a video that’s very informative and one that gives us great info and tips like yours!! I finally found it, appreciate you man, I subscribed too.
Thank you for watching!!
I really love your video, thanks a lot! I'm about to start doing this for business and with your tips I'm feeling a little more confident. God bless you!
Hey Luz! Glad I could help!
@@Lumedia Well, I think I just officially started, lol, I made some tshirts for the school of my kiddos (spring dance) I'm sooo excited! Once again thanks for your videos and tips!
@@theperezkidsaperez9931 sister will it last can i do business with it will it fade after washing
@@brotherhood1866 it doesn't fade, I have been using that brand with no problems just follow the instructions
@@theperezkidsaperez9931 thank u soo much sister for giving confidents i already have the printer i gonna try and get back u soon. Hope u r doing fine in this pandemic. We indians are struggling. I wish u happy life and to your family to. Dont forget to smile. ❤ from India
First of all I would like to say Thank-you for sharing your amazing experiences,,I just bought the same kind of HP Printer and The Paper,,The color is so Vibrant and Beautiful,,I cut out with Scissors,,Go to learn how to do print and cut with my Silhouette Cameo 4,,,I just like to say Thank-you Again
Thank you so much. Made my first using your steps. I have a hp printer and my image turned out awesome
Good Afternoon😄It’s my first time watching your video and it was very helpful. Thank you have a awesome and wonderful bless day
Glad I could help! You too 😁
Thanks for all the info 👍 I'm actually about to buy a heat press, and all the nessarry items I need to start off.
Did you started?
For creating my own clothing brand, what’s the best way to beat press t shirts do you recommend?
May I know hows the quality goes? I mean how long it's take for the graphic/design to become fades
Straight to the point my type of guy 💪🏽
Thanks for watching brother 💪💪💪
Thanks for the tip and I got my HP printer Delivered yesterday and it works great and thanks again
At your suggestion I purchased Neenah and I love it! I came back here to find the link to Amazon so maybe you will get another commision. Thanks for your video!
Thank you so much!!! Your awesome! 😁
Thank you I was so undecided on which one to pick
Thank you for watching!
Appreciate this homie super helpful just subscribed!
Thank you for watching!
I signed up for the HP services. Worth it.
Thanks for the view!
Thank you for making this video. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Very interesting indeed. A question. How many colours on one transfer can your (or most other) printer cope with? It looked great with the example you printed, but can it handle 4,5 or even 6 colours? Many thanks for an excellent video.
Yes! Your video was great! A video on how to eliminate the manual cutting of the inkjet paper would be helpful.
Be Well.
Coming right up! Thank you for the feedback!
Such a good video, thank you. Pease can you show us how to cut the designs with Cricut - I just got mine and am pretty intimidated by it. I have so many designs I want to print for some special people.
i know its super late but i just released a video with this topic!
I just signed up for the ink plan and it was like 5.00 for 100 pages and I got my ink so thanks for the suggestions
Thank you so much this Video is so helpful compared to the 20 other videos I watched 👍
Great video man, I was lost as to what paper to get. Will definitely give this paper a try 💯
Thank you for watching!
What's the name of the paper
@@accept4vaule 3G Jet-Opaque get the one that is for dark fabrics because you will be able to use it on dark and light cotton shirts. Hope this answers your question. I ordered it on Amazon
Raul TV what printer are you using not sure which one to get man, i was about to buy a vinyl cutter but using a ink jet would be better for t shirt design that have more than one color
Yes I'd like to see the light garment version as well.
Does that ink come with the printer
Great vid! Have you tried any other Heat Transfer Paper, like Jet Pro SS? It's half the cost of the Neenah 3G. I still can't believe you did this with an $85 printer!
You know what, ive tried tons of in store brands. I have not tried that one though, will Definitely look into it!
Thanks for sharing. Been thinking about doing the instant ink with my printer.
It’s awesome!
Thanks this was very helpful i was in the process of buying me a heat press now I’m going to get the printer as well♥️💪🏽
S/O to u bro, I like ur energy. Great Video. Makes me want to do this. I accidentally ended up here but was quite curious
Thanks for the visit! 😁
Great video, thanks for all the information! I'd love to see a video on cutting these designs out with a Cricut like you mentioned!
Sounds good brother! I am currently working on that video as we speak. Thank you for the feedback!
Btz of Bimmer TV yes, that would be awesome
@@MrChito562 should be up in the next few days! Thanks guys!
Thank you for the black border tip for cutting it out!
No problem!!! Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much brother. I learned a lot from your videos. More power to you.
Thank you for watching!
Hey brother thanks again for your video. I’m learning a lot from you!
I noticed you had press set at 160 for 16 seconds but instructions says 350 (f) at 30 seconds. Are you using Celsius and why is time shorter?
I do mention my heat press is in Celsius. Also these are the settings that work for me and my setup. Always start with manufacturers instructions and tweak it to your equipment!
Hey bro do you just use regular ink for the printer? Or is it a speciality ink? Thanks.
Regular ink this vid. Def recommend using pigment ink though.
What T Shirt companie you recommend for good plan T Shirts and the transfer paper from good Quality Things
I like GILDAN, Bella Canvas, Next level, and George brand. George and GILDAN can be found at your local Walmart. All others at jiffyshirts.com
Galaxy Anvil Cotton Heritage
I even have the SAME printer! this video helped so much!! thank you
Love the video! Helped me so much, thanks man
New subbie here thanks for helping me start my tshirt company

Haha thanks!! Thank you for watching!
I have a HP envy photo 7155 is that ok to print or do I need to change the printer
Great video! I ordered all the stuff in the description, I was wondering what you use as a design app or site? Thanks
Illustrator/Photoshop
Thanks for this video I have a lot of answers whit this I been doing high photo quality and not been working to me my ink gets to much on the paper and gets damage I have to go home n change my settings thank you.
Thank you ! I hope the Amazon link is attached to you . I'm going to buy the paper next week . Again , thank you for explaining it to a level a beginner can understand .
Please show how to use a cricut to cut out the design
I know I am very late lol but I did upload a video earlier this year showing this!
Thank you for sharing this man!
No problem at all! Thank you for watching! :D
GREAT VIDEO WITH LOADS OF RELEVANT INFO. KUDOS! BTW WHAT CAMERA, LIGHTING SETUP DO YOU USE? YOUR VIDEO QUALITY IS AMAZING!!! THANX MISS IDENTITY
Thank you for the kind words! and I use both a DJI Osmo Pocket and a Panasonic Lumix G7. This video didnt really use any lighting but i have a LED light and a ring light i use!
Hey dude I'm just now watching this and I'm excited to do this awesome video
What kind of ink do you use man I’m looking to start a t-shirt business and you’re video has, by far, been the easiest tutorial I’ve watched.
If you are really serious about a shirt business. I suggest looking at my sublimation video. That would be the best bang for your buck!
Do you use any special ink cartridges for printing on these transfer papers?
No sir! Any regular inkjet printer and ink should work. I use an HP printer with the instant ink subscription by preference. 😁
Thanks So much for the great Video. I went and bought an hp printer, just ordered the same heat press you have, and the same transfer paper you're using lol! Thank you again. Keep up the good informative videos 🙌
@@germainrojas3444 Thank you so much for the kind words bro! Make sure to grab the instant ink subscription I guarantee you will love it! And I am trying to be more consistent with the videos but its a bit hard right now. I will definitely upload one soon though.
@@Lumedia are you using a software or no?
I have Hp Instant Inc. Yes
Hi, I have just found your channel and really appreciate your content. Two questions: 1. If you are just doing this on a small scale for your kids, can an iron be used instead of a heat press? If so, do you have any advice? 2. Do you have a link for the Neenah 3G that is for light garments? Thank you!
Yes you can use an iron 😄 if you watch my hat video I use one.
So glad I found this video! Thank you!
Fantastic. Thank you. I hit the times of press, did you mention temperature? Could you please share temperature and clarify use only dark transfer paper and not light transfer paper?
Thank you
"buy dark transfer even on white shirt" never thought of that. too bad I just ordered the neeno soft already.
To me its more cost effective to only use one type. I know that the light material is thinner but an average customer will not know the difference.
QUESTION: I don't have a heat press, would a iron work instead??
Sure will!! Watch my hat video it will show you the settings!
Thank you for sharing!!! I'm just starting out too. Wished I saw this before I bought my Epson printer lol. Just one question, I read through the comments to see but I need to be clear. Any regular ink can be used with the recommended printer and paper? I always thought that I had to use sublimation ink only. Btw I'm subscribed. Going to binge watch your videos now lol.
Yes any inkjet ink can be used!
Thank you so much! Your channel is a LIFESAVER!!!❤❤❤
Hey I have at question can I used at regular ink for sublimation or have to be the sublimation inks ??
Hi what’s the exact name of the paper to use please I couldn’t find where you mentioned it. Love the video
I have the same question 😊
It’s the Neenah 3g opaque. All links are in the description! 😄
Thank you for the video, is there a way to print and then make the image look worn and not so new?
Thank you so much for the tips. It’s a big help for us just starting t-shirt printing at home👍. .. what app do you use for your designs?
Thank you for watching! I use photoshop. Photopea and gimp are a free alternative! 😁
@@Lumedia what press are you using
@@Lumedia wat paper do u use??
Thank you for this video. I am going into tshirt printing and this video has been super helpful. Thanks alot.. Quick question if u cant afford the heat press can u use an iron?
I have used an iron for HTV but I have never tried it on this heat transfer paper if you decide to try it out make sure to have a silicon sheet to place above it so you don’t burn it unevenly.
@@Lumedia I'll try it and let you know how it works
@@devettemorris5036 awesome! ill be waiting for the verdict lol!
@@devettemorris5036 did it work? :)
It does work! Watch my video on making hats to see what settings you can use with an iron.
What website did u make yo picture on?
Not a website I used photoshop and illustrator
I'm a year late, but I totally enjoyed this video! Thank you so so much! Very helpful... can you please tell me how to care for the shirt? (No dryer? Lay flat to dry? Low heat?)
I love the work bro. I have so many ideas for t-shirts. Thanks for the help.
Thanks a lot for this video! I saw you also do decals, is there a video on this? Do you use the same Printer?
I actually don’t have many videos on decals maybe I will make a few! Thank you for the suggestion!
@@Lumedia would you be interested in helping me out together a starter kit
@@makimkwitt4277 Like send you links on what to purchase?
@@Lumedia yes but only for the way you did it in this video. Also where can I buy the software to edit the images
@@makimkwitt4277 yh what software do you use?
I love your video because you seem like such a sweet guy 🤗. Anyway, I saw some people use the kind of transfer paper that you have to print your design inverted so I'm wondering what de difference is. Can you comment on that please? 🤷♂️
I honestly don’t have the correct answer, my only assumption would be that maybe the material is thinner?
Live 4Christ for black shirts white will come out white. For white shirts white will come out clear.
What paper brand was used?
Because you are peeling off the back of the paper and that is sticky, you put the design right side up. Most other heat transfer papers are printed with the design side on the material and therefor you need to invert the design - otherwise it will read backwards.
OMFG I HAD NO IDEA YOU HAD TO PEEL THE BACKING.
😂😂😂😂 bro I messed so many up before I figured it out!
I didn’t know you had to peel it as well :( and keep the back
You Da Man. Viva Lumedia
Thank you for watching!! VIVA!!!
Hi, great video.
But one question please, when i do it the image starts cracking up. Any advice please??
Thank You.

Hello, just a bit of help with channel growth, don't mix family adventures with starting a business, people are funny about that (idk why) if your wife doesn't already have a channel she can start the family channel and you can use this for the t_ shirt business I'm not trying to be an a hole, but I have watched channels grow, plus it helps to put videos out on the regular, I just wanted to help out because you put fire under me to start a t shirt business... and you may as well make money here also..
Thank you for the constructive criticism! I honestly started this as a hobby but as of the last month the channel has been growing exponentially! Idk what I did lol. But I will def considering switching the whole channel over to just business tips and tricks! Thank you.
I want to know how many sheets in one pack . 2nd Q.. if you wash the quality become damage or not.
They have different size packs the one i linked i believe has 100 count. and yes eventually it will fade. it is only a heat transfer, as far as how long it takes i have had a shirt going strong for half a year now with no fading.
Ok thanks. But what kind ink you use. In my printer have original ink.
@@MAJID5508 If you buy this specific paper you can use the original ink in your printer!
Lumedia what is the brand of the paper used here ?
Neenah 3g jet opaque - it’s listed in my description
hola me encanto tu video yo tengo la printer deskjet 3755 cres que me sirva para hacer este tipo de playeras
gracias de ante mano
What is the difference from the “expensive” printer to the cheaper printers. You’ve definitely explained this well
In the time I made this video, I was very new to the printing world. Keep an eye out for a updated one. in addition if I was to recommend a system today I would go with and Eco tank epson and fill it with pigment inks about the same cost!
@@Lumedia I’ve also sent you a Facebook message
Send me one through Instagram! I’m check my fb tho!
Sir can you please make a light transfer paper version please.
My first time and I'm about to subscribe right about now.
I will definitely add that to the list of videos! thank you for watching and subscribing!!!
im currently working on a video for the light garment.
I'll be waiting for it drop.
Matter of the fact I can't wait, can you please do a thorough break down on how you use from the start to the end. I'd appreciate it.
Thank you in advance
You never said the name of the paper and what if you don’t have one of those pressers? I just have a plain iron
I say at twice 😁 also listed on my pinned link and description. It’s the Neenah 3g opaque paper!
I don’t get what the paper is where can I get it in the uk 🇬🇧 any help appreciated ps awesome man really like the tutorial
can anyone tell me how long does this lasts? I mean how many washes it can withstand? and my printer has iron on transfer option built in should i use that one or i should go as told in video with "plain paper " option..?
