    total newbie please help

    hello all I'm a house wife from east sussex whilst looking after the kid thought I could do extra with my time so thought of doing custom t shirts uniforms etc but my question is
    sublimation printing only seems to be good for white clothing and needs to be polyester

    or do I have to buy a massive vinyl cutter

    as some guys want their business printed on their back and needs to be hard wearing and not come off

    Sublimation is best done to a white or very light polyester garment as you can only use a darker colour than the garment. There are ways of using transfer paper with different ink types. To get the most professional garment look then you need to be using vinyl - it is hard wearing and comes in many different colours and finishes. You can use a small A4 Cameo cutter for many different clients. If you need to go bigger then thee are other manufacturers out there.

    As a starting point have a look at the MDP* vinyl range as it will give you quickly some ideas as to the variety it will let you offer clients. The hot flex is a good starting point for most vinyl jobs.

    There are other suppliers* disclaimer - google search for heatpress vinyl

    There are of course many other suppliers - this is just to give you an idea of what to look for...
