We are back, and we bring to you another scecial edition Pimpashirt. This week we have teamed up with www.Iwearyourshirt.com in order to promote an up and coming web site www.sixfigureprofessionals.com.
Our creation this week is as simple as can be as far as design goes, but the garment is one that is very difficult to decorate with heat transfer. The garment we have used is a fully sublimated t-shirt from Journeys. What is a sublimated garment you ask? Well it is a piece of apparel where the decoration is printed into the fabric and then sewn together to complete it. For more info on sublimation, visit http://www.dyesub.org/.
What makes this type of garment so difficult to decorate by heat trasnfer is dye migration. When a garment is sublimated, applying heat to it will activate the dyes in the fabric causing it to bleed through the vinyl. This makes it impossible to use any vinyl that is white or light in color, unless it has blocking agents in the vinyl to block the dye migration. In our case, we used a metallic red vinyl so we would not have to worry about the dye coming through.
The shirt used in this video fit perfectly for the website being promoted. It features an all over print of $100 bills. Six figure professionals probably see quite a few benjamins, so this one was a no brainer to use. The desing being applied is simply the URL, www.sixfigureprofessionals.com with the tagline below it. Check it out.
Thanks for watching and see you next week.
Apparently you don’t want me to see this latest video:-) All I get when trying to run it is a message that it’s a private video and that I should accept the friend request (?). Youtube repeats that this message is private. Any suggestions?
We definitely want you to see it…this was an error on my part forgetting to mark the video public. All should be well now. Sorry about that.
I’m glad that I didn’t have to weed that one too mike. And nice cameo from Zach Ellsworth!
Good Job! My two cents. It could of standout a bit more with a white outline.
Hi I have been watching your uploads every week but now your videos don’t show up on my computer, not even old ones??????? is it me . i love watching them and am learning heaps.
Hmm not sure why they wouldn’t be showing up. I wil check to make sure they are set for public viewing.
Can the vinyl transfer designs be done on burnout tshirts? Can you do a video of a burnout transfered tshirt if the procedure is different than the others? Thanks! I LOVE PIMPASHIRT.COM!
Sure can…and thanks for the idea. We have been behind on some posts due to travel schedules recently, but will be posting regularly come monday!
Thanks Pimpashirt can’t wait to see the burnout video! And you are welcome for the idea and same to you! You guys inspire me.
Does the cutter work with adobe illustrator or photoshop? Or do I have to have the cardworx program? Thank You! I LOVE PIMPASHIRT.COM!
It has a plug in for Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw.
Thanks Pimpashirt! Would you guys happen to know of a good machine for making the rhinestone transfer designs?
