What is Clip Art?
Feb/100
Clip art for customizing Easy Prints® layout
Clip art is ready made art that can be used to create your custom transfers. At Transfer Express, we offer thousands of clip art to help create your custom print ready to apply to your apparel.
The clip art is categorized online and in the Idea Book™. We offer general shapes, mascots, animals, occupations, and sports to name a few of the categories. To find what you are looking for use our clip art search. To find the best results in our search, enter the simplest part of the description you would call the clip art you are looking for. Example: Search for “glasses” instead of sun “glasses” or “bee” instead of “bumble bee”.
Our clip art can be added to an Easy Prints® layout, with text or used alone. It can ordered in just one color or as many colors as you like. If using just one color, what you see in black will be the color you select. If you want to add colors, just let us know what colors are needed and where they should be placed. To order clip art alone – use the layout QAL-CLIP when ordering online.
With thousands of clip art choices, any layout can be made custom for your specific need. The choices are endless….
Don’t forget about selling those St. Patrick’s Day shirts. We have shamrock clip art too!
What is Clip Art?I “Heart” Custom T-shirts!
Feb/100
The popular “I (heart) ____” design is a well known symbol in American culture. Today a different variation is growing and becoming a much wanted tshirt among the younger audience. Seen in schools and organizations all over the country groups have replaced the (heart) with a symbol for their group such as a “baseball clip art” for the Boys Varsity Baseball team. See examples below. Even though you are replacing the (heart) with a clip art of your choice, the audience recognizes that design as the “I (heart) ____” design that is regaining popularity.
To have custom transfers created using this design idea, use Easy Prints® layout QAL-340 and customize the text and clip art for your customer’s needs. Some great examples are below to get your creativity flowing. Becoming a Dealer allows you to use the Easy View™ design previewer to see your design idea before it gets printed!

2010 Idea Book Better than Ever!
Jan/100
Our 2010 Idea Book was just released and we’ve made some changes to help in yours and your customers’ selection of Easy Prints® layouts.
Last year’s Idea Book featured the descriptions of the different Type Formats text can be made into. On pages 5 and 6 of the 2010 catalog you will see these descriptions in bright pink in the color book and in the bottom right corner of the layout in the black & white book. Any of these formats can be used in the hundreds of layouts found in the rest of the book. Just let your representative know when placing the order which format the text should be in.
The 2010 personalized Idea Book™ features examples of color placements in a few layouts per page. We’ve given some of the layouts some color to give you an idea of different ways these layouts can be changed into awesome tshirt designs. Need them to be a one color when printed, it’s no problem.
Another useful feature of the 2010 Idea Book™ is the addition of the color notation below the photo on each layout page. We used the screen printed and digital transfers in each of the pictures and noted which colors were used in the print. This is a great way to get ideas of color combinations and also how the colors look on different color garments.
We have added 230 new template layouts to customize and 200 new clip art. These layouts include some new pattern designs like leopard and tiger stripes. Look for the “New for 2010” links in each section online. Check out page 13 in the printed book for the new Alternative layouts featuring more edgy, modern t-shirt designs.

Add Pattern Effects to Screen Printed Clip Art
Nov/090
Layout CP-14 Paisley pattern
Add pattern effects, such as paisley or zebra stripes, to more than just words! Our patterns are created to be inserted into bold text but can also be placed into many of the clip arts that we offer in our Easy Prints® Idea Book. For example, place a paisley pattern in a volleyball for the local girls’ volleyball team or the plaid pattern in a football for the local football moms. They will love it!
Patterns can be used as a 1 color print or a multi-color prints for a more colorful design. They can be used when creating designs for a custom screen printed transfer order as well as a digital transfer order using the Easy Prints® layouts.
Tip: Use clip art that has bold, open areas to apply the pattern fill to. If you are unsure, ask a Dealer Services Representative.
