Sourcing Apparel For Your Clothing Line

Here is my tip on how to make sure you can start talking to people at such parties. It has personally worked very well for me, so I am sure there is no reason it would not work for you.

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.

Another method is Direct To Garment (DTG) printing. This is a method of running the actual shirt through a printer which prints the image on to the shirt just as a standard in home ink jet printer would print out a document from your computer. There has been some talk in the design community of the ink drying or clumping up in these machines, but I have seen the work they do and it looks great and feels great on the shirt. This is a higher end option at this time with some printers going for around $25,000. You could get a used on for around $16,000, but it would take a lot of shirts to pay off that large of an investment.

I know, some of your kids might not like this idea so much. I personally felt embarrassed to wear this kind of t-shirt when I was a little chap. Anyway, what a great family reunion in the theme park would be like without a specially printed t-shirt for the occasion? You've seen the shirt before and you can tell how great it was when it has nice graphic and font printed on it.

Yes now you can simply design your own T shirt at the comfort of your home. Making a custom t shirt is very simple. One needs to select the design he wants and then he needs to order a local printer to print the design. There are several websites these days that provide the designs of custom t shirts. A person can choose the designs from any of these.

There are no specific rules as to what employers see as a smart T shirt so there are several options available in terms of sleeve length. A short sleeve t shirt is acceptable during warmer weather or when teamed with a waistcoat or jacket. A long sleeve t shirt is just as acceptable during cooler months. A key trend of 2011 is the three quarter length t shirt so that is also an option.

Once the screens are created, one should get the T-shirt screen printing machines ready for printing. The press heads in the machine need to be filled with the required colors. Usually lighter colors are filled in first followed by darker ones. The color to be used at first is always white while black is always used at last.
