Transparent transfers?

[ms.pinkpixie]

Are there there any brands that make transparent transfers? I bought HP transfers for dark shirts but I still have to cut every bit of white out around the images? I'm new to all of the shirt making. We are going in December around christmas time to disney.

You would need to use transfers for light shirts for them to be transparent. Remember though since it is transparent it is my understanding that anything white will be transparent. An example would be like mickey gloves instead of being white they would be the color of the shirt.

Hope this helps and maybe someone else can verify that this is correct.

Ok, so lets say I have a pink shirt and I want to put a disign on the shirt that has a white background to the image, will that white background then become transparent? So anything white in the image becomes transparent? Because I bought HP transfers and they were for dark shirts and I printed an image and i had to still cut out ALL of the white around the image. Sorry for the questions. I'm new to all of this.

If you print an image with a white background on light transfers and put it on a pink shirt, sure the background will be transparent and the pink of the tshirt will show through but remember that anything else which is white on the image will also be transparent like Mickey's gloves, the whites of eyes etc and will therefore also be the pink of the shirt
Also you need to remember to print the image in reverse when using light transfers
