I use Transfer Express (_www.txpress.com_ (http://www.txpress.com) ). They
are a bit more expensive but I really like their idea book. I'm not an artist
and although most of the jobs I've done have been custom, the idea book has
helped make a few sales. It helps to understand vector vs. raster art. Most of
my jobs have been single color but I have done a 3-color one. The detail is
as clear as you submit; there are some limitation just as there is for
embroidery as ink can only go so thin or leave a gap. I don't know if they do
shading/gradient work and I'm not too knowledgable about the whole
screenprinting
process other than it's involves smelly chemicals. Transfers on the other hand
are very quick and easy. Goof-Proof presses for only 3 seconds. Their
customer service will help you and you can submit non-vector art; they will
charge
you for art time to convert.
The schools I do these for love not having inventory--they purchase the
transfers and then the garments as needed. I keep the transfers and every month
process an order giving an update of how many transfers they have left. I just
wish they were closer to me! (I think they're in Ohio.) The press paid for
itself within 4-5 jobs (300 shirts).
Heat presses in general, I think, are a great asset. Not only are there
screenprinted transfers but there are: rhinestone transfers, dye sublimation,
digital transfers, and vinyl--all applied with a heat press.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have been thinking of adding this service to my business and was wondering
if there was a specific company you recommend that does a great job on the
screenprinted transfers???? Are the design pretty clear when very detailed???
Thanks!

Have you thought about doing them yourself with a heat press and a
screenprinted transfer? It's a great addition to a small business and this
order could
pay for the heat press! Just an idea.
