doubtfull.
though you could try gelling the ink with a flash, or a heat gun (gelling = dry to the touch, but not cured) then try pressing it like you do with a normal transfer. If you can get the whole ink film to 320+ then you are set. |

| hi, you can get a cure using a heat press but like like fools gold mentioned you would need to give it a flash cure first. one thing to mention when heat pressing printed shirts, the final product is super shiny which may not be a desired effect. |

I have heard the following:
Teflon sheet over shirt = shiny print
brown kraft paper over shirt = matte print
don't quote me on it though |

i found that when i heat press a shirt that has ink on it, the ink sticks to the teflon sheet and some of it pulls off the shirt.
these are shirts that have been cured in a conveyor dryer too. |

| I bought a screen printing book a number of years ago...why I don't know. since I have a lot of experience. Wait now I remember...heat transfers. Thats one thing I haven't done. If I remember correctly they said to make some spacer blocks to keep the press just off the shirt and calibrate it to cure your shirts. |
