10 Work With Enter A T Shirt Design Contest

You've probably been wondering if you should set up a screen printing business in your basement, use heat transfers, or if any of those online Print On Demand (POD) services are worth your time. Well it depends on your end goals. Do you want to market yourself to local schools, clubs, business's, and churches? Would you rather put a few killer designs up that people all over the world can find and purchase? Perhaps a combination of the two?

This method enables you to get complex photographic and multi-colored images and that too in without too much of mess. However there are some limitations of this process. Every time you want to print a t-shirt you need to cut the shape that you want to be printed and remove the part that you do not want on the t-shirt. This takes up a lot of time and the process becomes non-feasible if you need to do the work in bulk.

Another alternative technique used in the process is known as 'Heat Transfer Method'. The machines used in this process are very expensive and they are meant for industrial purposes only. This adds to the cost of the clients who want to get their own T-shirts printed by themselves. If you love the task of t-shirt printing, then there are varieties of varied designs that you can consider.

However, the biggest negative is that there is no white ink in this printing method. So, if you were to print the Canadian flag on a light blue T-Shirt the flag would be red and light blue instead of red and white. However, there is a T-Shirt transfer paper designed especially for printing on dark T-Shirts that solves this problem.

All you will need is a computer and a good quality Inkjet printer. Besides that a good quality transfer paper, an iron or a heat press and the most important of it all, a T-shirt! If you plan to make the designs by hand then it is always better to make a few extra ones than the one to be used.

You can get creative with the design and have fun with it yourself. Designing promotional T shirts does not necessarily have to be done by your creative people. Any printing company can work with you to create a unique design. Always keep in mind though to make the shirt representative of who you are as a brand. You are most passionate about your business. So make sure you are clear on the message you want to get out on your custom t shirt printing.

PMS colors are a better choice: It is quite common for designers to use an RGB or CMYK scheme. But if you want a better finish and smooth color separations, using PMS colors is your best bet. Sometimes, the printer may give pieces of fabrics and sample prints so that they can match the colors and texture as per their needs.
