Pratik — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:06:01 +0000

Finally a Free WordPress E-commerce solution has arrived. I could not have asked for anything better!

Below is a video on installing the WooCommerce Plugin developed by WooThemes. The video covers installing of the plugin on a fresh wordpress installation along with a walk through all the plugin options. I will install the free theme for WooCommerce and setup the store.

Lets begin with the fresh installation of WordPress. We will first install the WooCommerce Plugin using the WordPress administrative panel. After installing the plugin, activate the same. Once the plugin is activated, browse your website’s homepage and you will find that many pages have been added. The plugin option includes the following sections: General, Pages, Catalogue, Inventory, Shipping, Tax, Shipping Methods and Payment Gateways. A thing to be noted here is WooThemes have mentioned that they will be releasing many extensions for this open source plugin. Using the plugin options you can make/add all the necessary changes and details.

Once the settings are done, we will move ahead and install the free theme – Wootique. There are also many paid themes available to choose from. Once the theme is installed and activated you are ready to add the products and other necessary details to your store.

Happy selling! For more information and download please visit the WooCommerce page.

Print on Tshirts using Tshirt Transfer Paper

Pratik — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 15:27:04 +0000

A special tshirt transfer paper allows you to transfer your images (printed using an ink jet printer) onto, white or light coloured tshirt. Below are the steps and important notes for printing on tshirts using a transfer paper.

Please see that the image you want to print is of good quality and not blurred. Printing is done in mirror mode onto the white, unprinted side of the transfer paper. In many printers there is an option for Transfer Paper Mode, if its not available in your printer use the Normal Paper Mode but use Best Quality Printing. I would suggest to allow the printout to dry for about 30 minutes before continuing.

Set your iron to the highest setting and pre-heat.

Cut out the image with approx. 5 mm space and place the paper with image side face down on the tshirt fabric which should be wrinkle free and pre-ironed.

Place a smooth cloth (2-3 kitchen towels) between the tshirt and the solid surface such as a table top.

Iron the image by applying consistent circular pressure distributing the heat evenly.

Concentrate on using the centre of the Iron during transfer. Apply heat for 60 to 90 seconds for a small print and about 90 to 120 seconds for a larger print.

Let the transfer paper cool and peel off the interleaving paper from one of the corners using firm and steady pressure.

A heat press can also be used. Set the temperature to 160 degree and press for approx. 40 seconds. I have not tried this with a heat press yet.

Here is the tshirt which I did using the method.
