I have seen a iron on T-Shirt type vinyl on Sign Warehouse site, has anybody used? Can anyone direct me to something that has a bit of info on doing this, I have a friend who wants something done on the cheap and thought this may work?
I would need it to be able to be cut on a cm-24 plotter if I go forward with it.
Thanks. Jason

If you go to any of the major vinyl suppliers, they should be able to give you PDF's or email you information on doing this. It isn't hard.
Gerber, Oracal, Avery, FDC, etc. should all offer it, I think.......

Jason, Staples carries an iron on transfer material you can print on, using your color printer and then iron on to fabric. You might check that out as a fast and economical solution for your friend.

Thanks for the ideas, I will look into them and see if it will work for him.

Most any office supply will sell iron on sheets for inkjet printers. They're about $20 for 20- 8 1/2 x 11. Quality isn't bad and it's a good solution for small quantities...and fulfills your friend's "on the cheap" requirement.
Avery is probably the best known manufacturer of this product.

Stahls makes some. Gerber has heat transfer paper, which you print on a Gerber edge, and heat press onto light colored shirt. Arrow makes Heat Transfer White, which you print with an 'edge printer and heatpress onto dark or light colored shirts. Hyatts.com sells them. Their phone is800-234-9288

are you referring to "CAD/CUT" type vinyl- that you cut, weed then heat apply to t-shirts (etc.) or are you looking at something you print, then heat apply?
if you are looking for the "CAD/CUT" type vinyl, I use it all the time for small t-shirt orders or custom names for jerseys, etc. Very easy to use- it cuts like regular vinyl (except you reverse the image) weed (remove the excess vinyl) the carrier sheet has adhesive instead of the vinyl itself- place on garment, then heat set (with a heat press) 300-325 degrees for 10 secs or so- remove the carrier sheet and you are done.
There are many colors, styles and patterns available- even some that will stick to nylon, etc.

Jason,
For all the money you'll need to spend to get the material to do the shirts (not to mention all of the time spent), would it be cheaper for you to place an order with a company like Zazzle.com?
Basically, you choose the shirt you want and upload the design. The last time I checked it cost about $20 per shirt which is great if you're just doing a few. You can have as many colors in your design as you want and the print won't feel like a bulletproof piece of plastic.
Just a thought.
