Anyone know that method where you have to print an image from your PC and like iron it into a shirt? Because I'd like to try something out.

you buy the paper, put it in the printer, print desired picture, place where you want on the shirt and put a peice of cloth over it then iron it until it goes to the shirt.

p.s. when you print the image make sure you mirror it or else when you iron it onto the shirt it will be backwards.

my graphics always wash off...its alot of work but you should try silk screening, which is almost the quality of a  store bought shirt

ok i found that tutorial...you can try this too, its a bit more work then that screen paper or w/e, but this is just like screen printing from your house.
