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!

Transfer-Direct.com Wages Battle.

Joining with thousands of others,Transfer-Direct.com demonstrated its support for "Walk for the Cure" by printing and contributing specially printed t-shirts for members of Team Michael who participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's annual fundraiser. Held on March 20, 2010, in Sarasota, Florida, all members, including Transfer-Direct.com owners and employees wore shirts adorned with the JDRF logo and a vibrant, captivating photo of Michael with print that read Walking for Michael. 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.

Transfer-Direct contributes to JDRF Walk for the Cure

Thousands of beach walkers (a few from Team Michael are pictured) will gather on Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida, on March 20 to demonstrate their solidarity in the on-going search for a cure for Type 1, insulin dependent diabetes (juvenile diabetes). Their united affront to this sinister disease that affects children and young adults brings awareness to the forefront that it can attack at any time in a young persons life. Unlike Type 2, adult-onset diabetes, it is not brought on by eating/excercise habits.

Proceeds from this annual fundraising effort will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) that remains a leader in supporting researchers on a world-wide basis in their search for a cure. In a departure from "business as usual" this group of doctors will answer an email or phone call almost immediately. Their zeal to offer compassionate information and advice is only unsurpassed by their desire to find a cure.

Transfer-Direct will be a proud supporter of the Walk for the Cure and invites you to participate with this parent-run organization; to find a location near you and contribute (in these difficult economic times)to help end the march of Type 1 diabetes.

Happy New Year with a Clean System - Digital Transfer-Direct.com Printing!

In thinking about our shared environmental causes for 2010, we think about the essence of clean technology as it relates to the screen printing industry. The industry continues to become "greener" as are current and potential customers. In doing so, we all become sensitive to our planet and generate new business with the least environmental impact. In conducting business through installation of energy-saving equipment, limiting drive-time by employees with use of flex-time and more, increased positive energy for all is generated.

The Transfer-Direct digital heat transfer printing system continues to fit the bill. Ink jet cartridges are refillable and recyclable, the process has little noise output making it a quiet business, it can be operated in a home-based environment that limits the carbon foot print on the environment. Unlike manual/automatic textile screen printing, there is no ink, no screens, no mess. This system can be a great addition to an established screen printing, embroidery or photo shop and educational training programs and meet the environmental considerations of potential new customers.
