Techniques On How To Deal With T Shirt Printing

By Angela Briggs


Digital shirt printing is very prominent these days for they are easier and the process is very fast. But this method would cost you hundreds. This is why there are still a lot of people who prefer having silk screen t-shirt printing Omaha for it is easy and cheap. Though this would take time to get the result but most people wanted their shirts more personalized. If you are planning to have one then you have to know the preparations.

Of course every thing you do, you got to need some tools. For the pattern of your design, it is highly suggested to use a stencil paper. But if you can hardly found one, it is okay to use a bond paper or any old films and cellophane. Just make sure the material you will be using for your pattern is not too delicate. It should be strong enough to hold wet.

In choosing colors you have to choose what you think is better for you for there are a lot of possible colors to be used in this process. Acrylic is the most used type of paint by students and beginners for it dries quickly and is water based. It is available in different colors and shaded. But the fabric paint might be the best for a t shirt.

You can never do the process without the principal tool which is the silk screen. Most amateur are buying silk screens with white mesh for this is the most available in the department stores. There are only less stores who are selling screens with yellow mesh. White mesh reflects light, yellow mesh absorbs light. Wood frame is most used that the one with aluminum.

The applicators is very important. And for this type of printing, you only need to use a squeegee. Squeegee is made of soft rubber blade to press the adhesive into the fabric. There are certain types for this, and two of it is the ergo force which has an aluminum handle and which blade is replaceable and a the one with wooden handle and most of the time with irreplaceable blade.

Though it is much ideal compared to the other one. But you do not mind spending too much for a home made t shirt printing. What is good with the wooden handle is that it does not need reassembling it upon the purchase unlike the other one. And it is much more available and cheaper.

Of course when doing your patterns, you have to cut them out so that it could be converted into an imprint. Most people are using paper cutters and scissors for shaping and cutting. But if you have extra money you could buy a stencil cutter which might help you have a better result to those designs which are very curvy.

If your screen is too big for your design, you can use masking tape to cover extra spaces. Paint brushes are not necessary but is ideal to make a more stroke design. Of course, pencils and pens for pattern making and news papers for spills.

We really thought that silk screen t-shirt printing Omaha is already out of trend. Just so you know, trend is not all about the process of making, it is the magic on how you make your art more ecstatic. So now, go to the store and start doing your own art pop.
