Since the weather has been pretty poor since the start of the Trout season in August I've been messing around on and off making T-Shirt designs that go with my "Trout Stalker Reports" that I do on a voluntary basis for our local paper here in Sheffield. I also do them for my Angling club and the local eat in/take away bakery as well on a monthly basis. I purchased some iron printing paper the other day and today picked up a few cheap t-shirts to use for a trial. Trying to guess the temp of the iron was the hardest part as it has to be 180degs temp for the transfers to work. Well first one i had the iron a little hot and scorched it a bit so turned it to cotton and that seemed to work okay. After running the iron over the transfer for around 20 seconds I then had to remove the backing paper while still hot. If i cools down then the transfers will peel or tear which nearly happened a couple of times, so i quickly ran the iron back over it which reheated the transfer then i quickly removed it. Took a little getting used to and i did use up the four t-shirts that I purchased. Will now go and pick up a few better quality ones and try the transfers on them.
Have attached a few photos to let you see how they turned out.
cheers
Adrian

Here's an update on how I've progressed with the T-Shirts, much better at it now.
