How To Screen Print - Developing A T-Shirt With Photoez

The reasons why custom t-shirts have caught on so fast are thus clear, and we can't even pass this off as a temporary teenage fad because everyone seems to be in on this new fashion trend, even the corporate moguls and the housewives. This is also because t-shirts have a very flexible appeal. They are comfortable to wear for everyone, regardless of what social standing, age, or gender you belong to.

You could use a photo of yourself or the both of you. You can also use the text functionality on your desktop publishing program to write a funny caption or a romantic message.

We all know what Marlon Brando was. James Dean too. They put the white T shirt on the map and invested them with a macho status and allure that has not rubbed off to this day. But has an actor ever defined the black t shirt the way Brando & Dean did white?

To start with you have to get creative. Open up a new image in your desktop publishing program sized 305mm x 305mm or 2100 x 2100 pixels and 100 resolution. It is quite a big space and will fit on the centre front of the T-shirt.

Digital printing technique uses a digital frame for printing. This technique provides selection of design and prints the chosen design in absolutely no time much faster than screen printing technique. This method definitely saves a lot of precious time. Variation in styles can be attained using this technique. A company that specializes in digital printing technique may offer a variety of designs printed on T-shirts.

The next advantage is that you can have full color printing. Since your design is printed with a color laser or an inkjet printer you are able to have as many colors as you like. This allows photos or graphics with gradient fills (blending from one color or shade to another color or shade) to easily be used.

Adobe Photoshop - Everyone knows what Photoshop is, but hardly anyone realizes it's potential. Photoshop is capable of so many things that no one person can use it fully, it's not just a photo editing software. It's a bitmap software. It's great for turning paintings or illustrations into digital artworks and is hardy enough to handle endless numbers of colors. However, you are limited by size. The size that your artwork is when you start is the size that it needs to stay. It cannot be enlarged without becoming blurry, but it can be reduced without compromising quality.
