Tips On How To Do A Home Based 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.

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.

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.

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.
