Easiest Guide To Home 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.

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.

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.

To apply the paint you are to use a squeegee. It is made of either wooden or metal handle and a soft rubber blade. The one with aluminum is called the ergo force in which the squeegee will do the more work than you will. You do not need to give much effort in controlling it anymore for in ergo force it is made to control its blade. Its blade is replaceable.

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.

Masking tape must be used if the design is too small for the screen, this is to avoid unintentional mistake and not to waste paint. You can also purchase paint brushes to do some brush strokes on your shirt. And do not forget to use news paper for spilling.

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.
