T-Shirt Designers
Fashion Forward Heat Transfer Materials

If you are a t-shirt designer and don't already own a Cutter/Plotter to create and print 1,2,3 color designs you need to seriously look at this t-shirt printing process that allows you to make 1 or as many t-shirts you need. You basicaly draw or scan your designs and out put it to your printer (in this case the Robo Cutter for example), it cuts out your design, you weed/remove the extra material around it, then Heat Press it on the shirt and you're done. The Robo Cutter is like the magic touch to the cut heat transfers process industry, for sure the hip popular tool/equipment this year.
