Okay, i have found a small market in which some money can be made by producing t-shirts for. I can do the graphic design stuff with no problem.

i know i seen transfer sheets selling for 12 bucks for 6, thats $2 per t-shirt transfer... and t-shirts can't be more than like 5-7 bucks for a decent one... allowing me to sell for between 15-20 for a reasonable profit.

I have no clue of what to do beyond that!

My main concerns are about quality. I've seen numerous shirts that really stunk up a storm before. Most of the shirts i've seen done this way were square photos and stuff like that... I've also seen some shirts where people tried to do lettering onto a colored shirt, and had white squares around the letters from the transfer sheet.... Will using Iron-ons allow people to do free lettering and designs, without applying white and stuff between the lettering?

What i want to do is have a line of text at the top, and a graphic logo on the bottom, the logo will be complex and have spots where the shirt will show through from behind. Will this work well with basic iron on transfer sheets?

I'm clueless on this topic, soo any advice is much much much appreciated!

Thanks!
