Interested in Inkjet Sublimation?

Sublimation won’t work on cotton and cotton blends. However, it works magnificently on items like tiles, mugs, badges, mouse pads, etc.

Jack Franklin made his very first sublimation print in 1981 and he teaches you what works, what won’t work, and why and how it works.

Egad! Which Heat Press?

For many, choosing a heat press can be a bewildering challenge. Ask 10 people and you are likely to get 12 opinions. Visit the typical website and all that you get is a bunch of technical jargon that means zilch, when you don’t know anything.

This Special Section on our T-shirt Business website clears the fog and eliminates the mystery of heat presses.

We don’t just sell heat presses; we’ve used them for 30 years. In plain English, we teach you what’s important and what’s not.

If you have questions, call us at 800-908-9916 or E-mail us.

Good luck to everyone entering the contest. If you are ever in Nashville, stop by and visit. The welcome mat is always out and the coffee pot on.
