Faced
with the standardization of consumer T-shirts, an interesting solution to allow
consumers to best express their personality in their clothing can be the
customization of these T-shirts with t-shirt screen printing Vancouver professionals.
For this, simply make an impression of the reasons or inscriptions desired on a
blank T-shirt. Several techniques exist, with very different difficulties and
results.
The techniques
Four
techniques allow you to print T-shirts yourself, with different efficiencies
and results. First, the stencil, this is a sheet that can be cardboard or metal
fairly strong material, in which a pattern is cut. To achieve it, simply take
the chosen material and cut out the desired pattern or inscription within it.
It is then necessary to use textile paint in order to carry out the drawing
through the stencil. It is also possible to perform a digital transfer. In this
case, the pattern is printed on a "transfer sheet", which is then
pressed hot on the T-shirt. These transfer sheets are commercially fairly easy
for all types of printers (laser, inkjet). Two other more marginal techniques
are screen printing (a complex technique involving silk screens) and car paint,
which is not very suitable for cotton. You can take helps from t shirt printing company.
What to choose?
As
indicated above, the last two techniques are to be discarded by their
complexity or their result of very poor quality. It is therefore necessary to
choose between the first two, which both have advantages and disadvantages. The
stencil remains the simplest technique, but the printed patterns will be simple
and not detailed. If it is possible to use only 2 colors maximum, the outfit on
the T-shirt is quite long. On the other hand, digital transfer makes it
possible to print complex patterns and photos, with gradients and a large
number of colors. On the other hand, its realization is a little more complex
and T-shirts are less resistant to washing than with the stencil technique. In
any case, make sure to use only 100% cotton T-shirts and quite thick.
