The Up’s And Down’s Of Iron On Printing

As many of you may be aware that there is an easy way of printing your own t shirts without the need of spending money on new clothes every time you see something new. You can do it from home, even better you can do it from your desktop or laptop. All you require is a pc or a laptop which I am sure many of you own or can get to use one, a printer, iron on printer paper, an A4 colour printer or even an A3 printer and an iron.

About the program to design you could even use software like paint any program or software that will allow you to import an image and then print will be suitable. The days are gone where you had to spend literally thousands of pounds/dollars on creative software like Corel or Photoshop because the standard software are just as good to do your on printing on clothing.

The Advantages of printing your own slogans and images on your clothing is that it doesn’t cost much compared to how much you would pay for a brand new piece of clothing with that same slogan printed. You can even release your own creativity when ever you want. You may be sleeping the one minute at night time then next you get a great idea that you need to get printed and it can all be done at the click of a button or two.

The best advantage of iron on printing is that you are in control of what you want, you can control what you want to print, then you can control what colours you want, you get to choose your clothing and what you want printing and best of all you can choose where to get it printed because you have the total freedom, that’s total customisation for you.

Above all you can treat and enjoy the total freedom of customisation and printing with your family and friends. If there is a new born baby in the house you can make and print customised t shirts for all the family members from “New Born Granddad” printed clothing to “I’m A Mum On (the Date Of Birth Of The new Baby)”. It can a lot of fun and it can be a great laugh with your mates because if you’re the sort of guy that want to pray pranks on your mates then you can have printed clothing saying “MY Friends Single Make Him Happy” and you can have the arrow pointing to him.

How ever as many great things in life do have the best advantages there are a few disadvantages. The first downside is the financial costs. Although it may not be very much compared to other printing methods you still will need to buy the paper which you can get for £20 or $30, then not everyone has a printer with full set of inks so again you’re looking around here to spend £50 to $80 depending upon what make, the size it can print and the speed. Plus the other downside is, is that it’s all good you making great looking clothing for people but will they actually be willing to part with their hard earned cash? You have to think why do you really want to print t shirts or anything else, is it for business or for your very own personal use? If it’s for starting up your own business then let me tell you that iron on printing is not the way forward.
