One of the things I have done as part of my web site, is to create T-shirt graphics that can be printed on quality transfer paper with a common inkjet printer. Usually, I give T-shirts to those people who have provided interviews, photos and articles. Some graphics were done just of the fun of it. This is the case with the sample below.
This Tuskegee Airmen graphic can be found, in full size, at:
http://home.att.net/~historyworld/Tuskegee.html You will notice that this is a very large file (330K) and that the image is reversed. Since it is designed to be printed on transfer paper, it must be reversed to be correctly viewed after being transferred (ironed-on). Anyone who wishes to utilize the image may do so. Visit your local Office Max, Office Depot or Staples to purchase a good quality transfer paper ($8-$10 per pack) and carefully follow the instructions that come with the paper. Modern transfer paper provides for crisp, clear images that wear as well as most silk-screen inks, and offer the designer or artist unlimited colors. With practice, you can learn how to give the transfer image the same texture as a silk-screen image. The secret is to iron a clean sheet of white paper on the front of the image and remove it while it's still warm. This removes the shiny gloss and it leaves a finish that looks like silk-screen ink.
Additional transfers images will be added in the future.
