Title: Looking to do these type of hats...im a newb!
Post by: lordbk on July 13, 2016, 04:51:50 PM
Please take a look at the attached neon foam trucker hats with simple words on them, some of the things I am trying to figure out:

1. What kind of press will I need or you suggest for this?
2. What would the process be in creating designs like this?

I would appreciate any help on this!

Thanks

i would do these as a screen printed transfer.

You'd need a simple 1 color screen printing set up, and a heat press.

Thank you! I have no idea what this means, can you point me to the right direction to learn about this?

Edit: do you recommend a machine or setup?

This is a great site for having someone print and ship the transfers and then all you would need is a hat heat press you could find on craigslist, or amazon.  easy peasy

That site also has some educational stuff and explains about their Stahl's brand of heat presses.
