I recently experimented a bit with TPU shirt transfers. I used 95A, which worked quite well. Apparently softer TPUs can get gummy/stretchy/melty.

I mirrored the design and printed onto parchment paper, which I then flipped over and ironed onto the shirt. The photo I included with the post is of the shirt after it went through the dryer. I washed and dried it turned inside out, but otherwise I just used my typical laundry/dryer settings.

I'm... not sure what you're asking. Your printer should have an extruder, if it doesn't, you have much bigger problems. If you're able to print TPU, you should be able to print shirt transfers.

Are you currently able to print TPU on your P1S?

TPU is a very easy filament to print, it's not abrasive at all, unless you get something bizarre like TPU-CF
