hey jay welcome to the fourm. as far as how i did it it waas printed on my sp300v .. here is the process . I used glitter material from inprintables warehouse .. my setting are the icc profile i used was sol. clear max impact .. i did a trick that i learned from steve in class that works out fine . when you have it in vers works set it up to cut first ..make sure you set it up to return to orgin by clicking the box that applies then once it it done go back to cut controls and swich it to print only .. as far as pressing it i had my phoenix set to a heat setting at a 320 pre pres for 4 seconds.presed it with 15 seconds / teflon and post pressed it 10 seconds peel it warm.. but if you asking how i got my art work to have a airbrush effect. i cheated i don't just use the usual buch of programs for this one i for some reason i was using fireworks some of the effects and plugin's you can not get for photo shop so i design it realy big save it as a png fist"working copy" then i import it into illustrator to add my cutpaths .. i'm a little backwards with my use of software but my results work out for the best all i can say is play with it .. you not ging to break it by playing with it besides it's better to get over the boo-boo effect right away . be fore i offer a job to a client i will try and print it may different ways so i know what works frist before i aproch the client and and say sure .. i got bit last week with my 2 am playing around for some stuff for my wife and it turned in to a job for the hospital . but it's all fun .. i hope this helps you in what you were asking .. if you need anythign you need to email steve or make a post he is a great teacher.. i would still be cutting squares if not for him .. next time he offers a class you should come you get a chance to hang out with some great people and the lunches are killer. He runs a top notch shop , and will take the time out his working to help anyone out.. trust me i know i think i buged him for a whole day ..

If you are doing one or two shirts at a time, Imprintables Warehouse has great stuff. If you are doing multiples of the same design you should look into their sister company called Transfer Express. They will take your design and send it to you ready to press. We have used both company hundreds of times. No matter what you still have to press the shirts..............can't get away from that.

Jay,
