so here i am researching on t shirt printing and thinking it's not really that hard i mean all you have to do is come up with a design and then print it on the t shirt right? wrong it seems like there's a lot more to this than meets the eye i have to get some education on how to do this properly

I have done t-shirt printing using silkscreen. I actually got training doing this. But I still find it hard to do. It is like an art that you need to master to get a nice result. I also tried using transfer paper. It is lot easier that silkscreen especially when you have this heat press machine. And you can use many colors as you want without the complicated steps like in using silkscreen.

T-shirt printing, I thought it was about what you said. Find the design, print the mirror image on to the correct type of iron on transfer, and Iron on to the T shirt. I have done it before, I thought it was incredibly simple. Sincerely and With Appreciation.
