Teens & College Students can Create a Job and Income with a DIGITAL, HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING SYSTEM.
With summer looming and job prospects dim, one determined high school student came up with a plan to make her own money by creating, printing and selling t-shirts, towels, hats and temporary tatts. On-line, she investigated a variety of screen printing options. Based on cost constraints (she had $2,500 to invest from her banker/dad), the need for paper to be recyclable and the no-mess factor, she chose a digital, heat transfer printing system from Transfer-Direct.com.
Using her own computer and printer in a corner of her bedroom, a business was born after a few hours of training, trial and error printing. Through the family/friend grapevine, customer's included: a family in need of 25 reunion shirts, friends who wanted a favorite band printed on a shirt, children who attended birthday parties and received specialty temporary tatts as party favors, her dad's buddies who ordered golf towels, friends who ordered hats, grandparents who wanted gifts for grandkids, her sister and friends who wanted pictures of their horses printed on a hat or tank top. And she printed shirts featuring local and national bands and sold them pre-event.

Transfer-Direct.com: What's in a System?
How do you even select a digital, heat transfer printer? The myriad of systems is crazy; to compare can be mind-boggling. We slogged through the comparison, though, and that's why we went with the transfer-direct.com system.
This system showcases the use of heat transfer paper that is directly applied to the substrate that could be a mug, t-shirt, hat, hoodie, plaque, wood, leather and more. It responds to needs for safer and environmentally sensitive products in our industry. Most notably, the heat transfer papers are also free of BPA and Phthalates (known endocrine disrupters), contain no organic pollutants such as PFOS and PVC materials or organotins that are powerful biocides and fungicide. The paper is completely recyclable as it contains no silicone.
The transfer paper used in direct to substrate printing is completely compatible with inkjet and laser jet printers from the least to most expensive technology. With its use, creativity is enhanced by enabling designs to be captured and printed quickly and easily. The look and feel of textile screen printing is easily replicated with this specialty digital paper technology.
The printers are quite compact, have little noise output and are considered “clean” systems. They can be operated in a home-based environment. Environmental impact: no screens, no ink; printer cartridges can be refilled and recycled; paper can be recycled.

Kick Ass Transfer-Direct.com
Kick Ass is out in theatres now, but we are excited to say that we saw it first at the Sarasota Film Festival prior to nation-wide screening. The security was tight. And the film is definitely not child friendly. While waiting in line and doing our share of people watching, we spotted a great Kick Ass t-shirt on a guy who said he was seeing the film for the 4th time. We're pretty sure the t-shirt was printed on a digital, heat transfer system because the colors popped!

Because of his focus on living the most healthy and positive life as possible while waiting for a cure, Michael was one of hundreds of children and young adults being honored during the walk.
