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.

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.

There are various of adhesives to choose from for the process but you can only use what is the most convenient for you. Most students and non experts are using acrylic paint. This is a water based color and does dry quickly. Variety of colors and shades are available in the market. Though the most suitable is the fabric paint which is much more expensive than the acrylic

The principal tool to have this type of printing is the silk screen which is made of mesh. You can purchase the one with white mesh in the departments stores. It would be hard you to see a yellow mesh in such place for yellow mesh is mostly used by experts already for this absorbs light. For the frame, just choose the one with wooden for you are not a commercialized printing company that needs to use metal framed screen.

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.

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.
