Techniques On How To Deal With T Shirt Printing

By Angela Briggs


Digital printing is now the most convenient for most people nowadays for this process can immediately show quick results. But a number of people still do praise the traditional one which is the silk screen t-shirt printing Omaha. This is because they wanted to have their shirts more personalized or made by their own hands. Now if you want to give a gift like this to a friend, then you have to know the preparation.

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.

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.

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.

But to compare the two, it is very advantageous to have an ergo force squeegee for the one that holds its blade is intentionally not on the same level. This is to control the bending of the rubber blade. You will exert more energy on the wooden one for it does not have its own control of the blade upon bending. And unnecessary bending may ruin your work.

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.

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.
