It's one thing to make ready to press transfers, it's another sell them.
A lot of places sell DTF transfers, but if you don't want to deal with a DTF printer and you still want to sell t shirt transfers - I have an alternative for you that you can still print at home!
Meet...the Roland BN2-20A.
If you aren't familiar yet with how to print heat transfers on the 20 ecosolvent Roland BN2-20A printer and cutter, I would recommend starting here.
Many people will apply the ready to press transfers to a garment right away and sell the finished good.
But if you'd rather sell the transfers so you don't have to stock t shirts of all different colors, styles, and sizes - selling t shirt transfers is a great option.
Heat Transfers print and cut with the Roland are a really good option because they can be ironed or heat pressed on!
So...after you print and cut and weed and mask the t shirt transfers, as explained here, you're going to take a few extra steps so they're ready to ship out.
What we need to do is apply an easy to remove backing...and we're going to use the backing from the high tack mask we already used.
So..after you mask the transfer, I find it easiest to lay the transfer on a table with the adhesive side up, then lay the mask's liner - waxy side down - directly on top (like I'm doing below).
In other words, place the transfer - adhesive side down - directly onto the liner that you (didn't discard) from the high tack mask.
Doing this will allow the customer to easily peel the ready to press transfer off the backing so they can press to their shirt.
After the protective liner is on the back of your transfer, grab a 12" or larger Guillotine paper cutter and trim all 4 sides so they're straight and even.
You do not want to be sending unprofessionally looking transfers to customers.
You might even want to fold down the backing slightly at one corner so it's easy for your customer to separate the two.
Finally, include a little instruction sheet for how to apply the transfers.
