   Well.. I am useing a star nx1000 rainbow.. and I got a heat transfer
ribbon for it..  so far.. the transfers look ok.. they turned
out MUCH better than I thought.. there pretty color full and 
deep..  But I dont know if there still good enough for 'marketing'.
the problem with coloring them with tshirt paints.. is..
they need sorta complex designes (comples enough to make
paitning a hassle) and they also need large quantities.. 
of course I woudlnt be trying to take over for what thier doing
now.  Just try to supplement.. to help reduce costs.. and give
more felxibility on designs.. *sigh* perhaps designing on the amiga
then going to a print shop is the way to go..
