Make Your OWN T-Shirt Transfers

Make tshirt transfers with the Ricoma Luminaris and YES Group

T-Shirt transfers are a great way to add sales to your current custom products business, no matter what it is!

Make your own t-shirt transfers to meet the constant demand for custom printed t-shirts. Embroidery businesses are always getting requests for these items. Screen printers turn away small orders every day.

Screen printers turn away small orders every day.

Sign makers, promotional products reps and even gift shops can add t shirt transfers to their menu of services and get more sales from the same customers their serving now.

And while the best part of this idea is that you’re already selling to these customers now – the  low cost of entry is a close 2nd.

White Toner Printers and Making More than just T Shirts

Transfer printing with a white toner printer like the Ricoma Luminaris 200 is an easy win for almost any business.

Top reasons to adopt white toner printing:

  • Virtually ZERO maintenance – it operates very much like a color laser printer
  • Low cost of entry
  • Compact, desktop size
  • Limitless transfers – not just for t-shirts

Every other transfer printer uses some kind of liquid ink system to create the image. That goes for Direct to Film, Direct to Garment and even Sublimation printing. And liquid inks requires MAINTENANCE and regular use.

The Luminaris white toner printer is just that – toner is a powder, not a liquid so there are no ink lines or potential for clogs.

If you’re adding t shirt transfers to your business but don’t anticipate high volumes, or only occasional usage, this is definitely your best option.

White Toner Transfers are more Flexible

DTG printers are best on 100% cotton fabric.

Sublimation really can’t print on anything dark because there’s no white ink. AND only on synthetic fabrics as well.

DTF printer transfers can be applied to almost any fabric, but…

White toner does more than just t shirt transfers! With the same printer that you create t shirt transfers you can create hard surface transfers as well.

That means you can offer more than just custom t-shirts. You can offer:

  • Commemorative plates
  • Custom mugs
  • Small signs
  • Name tags
  • Wood
  • Glass

So you can offer the same design you’re putting a custom t shirt on any one of those additional items!

How Much Can You Make on T Shirt Transfers?

The potential to increase your sales through t-shirt transfers is only limited by your imagination and your customer base. Let’s explore a few examples:

  1. Embroidery Business Add-On Sales: An embroidery shop can offer matching custom t-shirts alongside embroidered caps and jackets. For instance, if a local sports team orders embroidered uniforms, you can pitch them custom t-shirts with their team logo.

    These can be sold for events, fundraisers, or fan merchandise, potentially doubling the original order size.

  2. Sign Shop Enhanced Offerings: Sign shops can provide businesses with promotional t-shirts featuring their logo and slogan. For example, a new café ordering signage could also be interested in custom t-shirts for staff uniforms or promotional giveaways.

    By bundling t-shirt transfers with sign orders, you create a one-stop-shop experience, increasing overall sales.

  3. Gift Shop Expansion: Gift shops can diversify their product range with custom t-shirts and memorabilia. If a customer buys a custom mug, offer a matching t-shirt or tote bag.

    Seasonal designs, tourist souvenirs, or special occasion items like birthday or anniversary gifts can significantly boost impulse buys and repeat business.

In each of these scenarios, the additional revenue from t-shirt transfers can be significant, often with minimal extra effort or cost. And none of those scenarios touches on the hard surface transfer potential!

By leveraging existing customer relationships and expanding your product offerings, you can drive new sales and strengthen customer loyalty.
