Heat Printing Educational Tools
1. Webinars:
These in depth online classes cover a topic extensively using slides and audio. A new topic is explored each month. Some recent topics included Starting Your Own T-Shirt Line, Selling Custom Apparel to Niche Markets, and How to Use Easy View to design shirts for free. These are held the second Thursday of each month at 2:00 EST and are free. Seeing them live is best since there is an interactive conversation with the presenter as well as with others attending, but they are also recorded for viewing at any time. Register each month so you don’t miss one!
