Yes, you just call up a T-Shirt place and ask them for the name of a
company that sells heat presses.  There are several models but I
forget the name of the company I use to get mine from.  (I designed
and built a complete T-Shirt transfer system for the IBM with a ICB
or TARGA board)

You usually need at least a 12"x12" heat press for T-shirts.  This
will give you an even heated surface for pressing.  Works like a
charm.  You can also get sublimation color ribbons and other supplies
from a company called QLT in New York.
