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.

You cannot start without the tools. Anything that can be traced for a pattern would do, but the most used for this method is the stencil paper. But if you cannot find one, then bond paper, negative camera film, x ray film and thick cellophane would do. Just make sure that it is hard enough to hold liquid and cannot be torn easily.

The paints for this are available in various types depending on the preference of the user. But paint such as acrylic is the most used by most of the beginners and some experts. This one dries quickly and soluble in water. But the best for t shirt works is the fabric paint but not all would spend their money in such which result can be altered by the acrylic.

A silk screen method cannot be called as such without the silk screen itself. In purchasing a silk screen, most distributors sell silk screens with white mesh which reflects light. The other mesh is the yellow which does absorb light. And the one with wood frame is the most used for the home made printing. Aluminum or metal framed screen is much more expensive and for commercial usage only.

Squeegee is also important for without this you cannot have a better application for the paint. The commonly used is the wooden handled squeegee. But most experts are using the aluminum squeegee or so called the ergo force because it has replaceable soft rubber blade unlike to the other which is hardly attached already.

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.

You must also need cutters in working on your pattern. Most lay man are using paper cutters or paper knife for patter making. Those who cannot manage to use knives, they prefer using the scissors. But the most ideal for this is the stencil cutter for it makes your cutting more easier especially to those patters with complicated curves.

Other tools you might need are the masking tapes for you to create a secondary frame depending of the size of your design. Brushes, if you do want to make your shirt more artistic. Pencil or any pen for the outline of you patterns. And news paper to avoid paint spills.

Traditional t-shirt printing Omaha might be out of civilization already. But it is not important of what is trending, the most important is the efficiency of the work. Now you can now make a personalized design for your partner.
