What if your dreams and fears existed in the same place? What if to get to heaven, you had to brave hell? What if everything you've ever wanted cost you everything you've ever achieved? Would you still go there?0

so do you use your own Tshirts? so i could put it onto a riding T instead of a cotton one?0
-
Yeah I just use a normal cotton tee, 2 quid from decathlon or primark. You can print it on anything as long as it's at least 50% cotton. You need the iron up full whack so too high a polyester/other content and you just melt the garment. Decathlon gave a printing service on their riding jerseys though, I dunno if they could do that design or if it's just simple text they do0

OK time to tell you how to make
YOU WILL NEED
Ingredients
1x Light coloured tshirt (white/light grey, lemon or other pastels will work best, maybe a very light green or yellow. Slightly bolder colours will work but alter the colours of the green bits, Dark colours such as black or navy just will not work)
1xsheet transfer paper for light coloured tshirts, available in tesco or cheaper here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/A5-Transfer-Paper ... 45f477b04d
1x Iron set to hottest setting, do not use steam, set to dry iron or empty out all the water
1x Inkjet printer.
Method
Print out the following image onto a sheet of transfer paper, its already mirrored so it presses the right way around.
best way is to right click on the picture, save the image and then paste into a programme such as word where you can resize it to the dimensions you want.
Once printed, leave it 5 to make sure its dry
Cut around the image, you can cut around it as a square as the white of the transfer paper goes clear when pressed
Iron the tshirt and lay on a hard surface such as a piece of wood, works better than an ironing board
Lay the design with the print face down to the tshirt and line it up to where you want it
Follow the manufacturers instructions with regard to pressing the design, usually a couple of minutes or so on the hottest setting, making sure you get all the edges and corners.
While warm peel away the backing paper, making sure all areas are stuck down, if its stubborn or not stuck, push the backing back down and apply a bit more heat. I find it easiest to turn up a corner once its pressed and then just run the iron lightly over the backing as i'm peeling it up, helps the backing come away.
Et voila, you should have a perfect crudcatcher teeshirt, if not you need another theeshirt and have another go.
But at 2 quid for a tee and 35p for a sheet of transfer paper, its a cheap way of doing it
By the way do not tumble dry these tees and if the logo starts peeling, you can freshen it up by laying a sheet of greaseproof over the top and pressing again with a warm iron0 -
that's quality
would it work on a light coloured cycling top?Whether you're a king or a little street sweeper, sooner or later you'll dance with the reaper.

depends on what the fabric mix it, it works bect on cotton, but will work on things with 50% cotton or more, I have found (50/50 poly/cotton hoody). anything less and the heat that you need the iron just melts the garment. So I wouldn't like to hazard a guess on an individual top, what i'd say is if your going to give it a go, try it on an old one first, now a brong new 50 quid gore baselayer

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
I'm gonna buy me some of them sheets I am!
WIll it work with laserjet? As my inkjet is crappy, but we just got a really sweet laserjet that will be way better...I like bikes and stuff0 -
I presume it would workwitj a laserjet but there may be probs because of the heat given off a laserjet. Drop the guys at signal inkjet a message and check, I have all my printing supplies off them and they are top notch0
-
cool... whats the finish like?I like bikes and stuff0
-
A slightly plasticky finish where the logo is but it looks good0
-
Let me know how they wash. We used to make heaps of our own tshirts as students, they looked ace but died after a wash or two becase the print came off
Does look awesome though Ride it like you stole it!0 -
i'd do one of the big sticks, no messtins ones!
gaz can you do a flipped image of that?0 -
Yeah I'll do all the designs on here just got to sort them. Miss bunt I've dine a ton of hombres ones this way, cool wash and line dry they last pretty well, start to crack after Half a dozen washes but a quick iron over under some greaseproof and it refreshes them nicely0

Just leave it blank, so you can either treat it as a guessing game, or fill it in with marker.Gazlar wrote:Thewaylander wrote:We need a
