Tee Shirt Printing - If you want to create your own custom printed T-Shirts or have them Print for You

 

 

If you're considering having T-shirt printing in dubai done for a project you're contemplating one of the possibilities you might decided to research the alternatives. This article will discuss the various options for doing it yourself or hiring a tee-shirt printer to create your customized t-shirts.

The most important thing to consider is which color of T-shirts you will be using to print your t-shirt? There is no issue when printing on white tees.

But, if you're printing custom printed t-shirts with light colored shirts, keep in mind that there isn't any white ink inside your printer . So should you have a picture with three people wearing white t-shirts and white clouds over the sky, then each white part of the picture would be the exact color as the t-shirt. If you own light blue t-shirts, the t-shirts of the people in the photo and the clouds will have a light blue.

Another thing to think about when printing on light-colored T-shirts is that the ink of the printer may blend into the color of your t-shirt. Recently, I made light blue prints on yellow T-shirts. The area turned green. It's like when we were children and would mix yellow with red crayons to make orange. This is only seen when light ink colours are used on t-shirts that are bright and light-coloured. The shading is not usually important but it is something to keep in mind. Ink colors that are darker are not an issue.

The t-shirt transfer papers you might purchase would be suitable designed for light or white printing on t-shirts. If you plan to print on black or dark t-shirts, you should have T-shirt transfer paper designed specifically designed for printing on dark hues.

Printing your transfer can be done using the use of a laser or an inkjet printer. However, prior to printing your image, you have to flip the image in reverse the image so that when the image is printed, it can be viewed correctly. In some software applications this is straightforward because they come with the "flip" or "mirror" setting. In programs such as Word it is usually more complicated. To ensure that you reversed the image, print a duplicate and place it before an mirror. This is how it will appear on the t-shirt you have personalized.

You must ensure that you set your printer to the right kind of paper. In general you'll choose cards or heavy stock.

To achieve the most appealing look you must trim the edges of the image not being used. For example, the image could be of the Earth with the words "Save Our Planet" in the text below then you should trim the edges of all the print. Most often, with transfers to tees, there is a yellowish hue that surrounds the printing. This is due to an adhesive coating that is applied to the paper which attaches the ink to shirt.

A reputable tee-shirt printer will reduce the extra, but more importantly, it will come with a printer/t-shirt transfer system that, when the t-shirt is printed, the non-printed areas are transparent and do not face this problem.

Once you're ready to iron your transfer on the shirt, if pressing your transfer using a hand iron you must adhere to the guidelines to get the most effective outcomes.

When I first began to make T-shirts in the 1990s, it took me about 11 hours to iron the garments using an iron. Even then, around half of them were soiled with ink across the fabric. Since the results were not to my liking, I invested in the heat press. It is device specially designed to print a custom t-shirt. You can choose the temperature and apply the pressure for the desired number of seconds needed.

The heat press I, as well as other commercial printers employ allows for the temperature, pressure, and time to be adjusted. This allows for the perfect press time, time after time.

It is important to note that the transfer papers used by professional t-shirt makers require an industrial heat press. It is not possible to iron these transfer papers.

The materials you'll need for printing your own custom T-shirts, in addition to an printer and a computer most likely will be t-shirts. It is likely that you will need 100% cotton tees which are pre-shrunk or 50/50 T-shirts.

Also, you'll need the t-shirt transfer papers. You can purchase this particular paper at stores such as Office Depot, Staples, Office Max, craft stores such as Michael's as well as Wal-Mart. If you're using an inkjet printer, ensure that you buy the appropriate paper to an inkjet printer, and also if you own laser printer.

Follow the guidelines that came in the package with your transfer paper. The more closely you follow the directions, the better your finished shirt will look.

In the end making or printing custom custom tee T-shirts isn't just enjoyable but also gives you the ability to create customized T-shirts.

There are websites that permit users to create their own shirts on the internet. You can also use an application on your PC and create the shirt on your own computer.

If you're using images you'll need to choose an image resolution of around 300 DPI (dots for every inch) for the entire printing size. If you're not sure about the meaning of this, make a copy from your photo on paper to see if your image appears sharp and clear.

Most likely, you already have an application installed on your PC that can start you off.

I've had designs sent me with Power Point, Word, Publisher, Excel, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, pdf, jpegs, bmps, Photo Shop, eps almost every format that exists. Make use of one of the programs you're using.

If you opt to let a company that makes t-shirts print your t-shirts in a custom design make sure you let them know all the information they'll need to be aware of to provide you with an estimate. They'll need to know the items you'd like printed as well as the location you'd like for the printingto be done, the colors of the shirts, the many you'd like to order, the address where you reside and the time you'll need the shirts. This will help them provide you with a precise quote.
