There are many different types of silk-screening inks. The most common is plastisol. It is usually used for decorating garments. Water-based inks create a softer feel than plastisol and penetrate fabric more deeply. Discharge inks work by removing color from the fabric rather than actually dyeing it. It is best used for printing on darker backgrounds. Glitter or shimmer is used to create a sparkle effect. The glitter is suspended in plastisol ink. Expanding ink, sometimes called puff, expands the print off of the fabric to create a 3D effect. Other types of ink used in silk-screening include gloss, suede and caviar beads.

What better embroidery or printing
For such a simple thing as a t-shirt, there sure is a lot of fancy stuff to describe blank t-shirts out there. Is there any thing special I have to look for when purchasing t-shirts for custom embroidery or are all t-shirts suitable for embroidery? This may be a stupid question. But arent all t-shirts pre shrunk? I thought they all started out as a Raw , natural colour shirt then they were coloured by repeatedly dying them and drying them to give them the colour. Sometimes dyed and dried 15 to 20 times the darker they get. Therefore they shrank in the process. Or are they made from coloured thread or cloth?
Interesting to know.
I only stitch on t-shirts if the customer absolutely won't go any other direction.
Even the pre-shrunk will shrink over time and makes the design look like crud! I have a couple of samples of what the t-shirt will look like over time. This generally detours them to rethinking what they want done. If it is simple enough, we might cut it in vinyl, or then have gone to polos.

lets talk about t-shirt printing
Fabric has a very significant role in determining a number of elements of a shirt. Aside from determining how well a t-shirt will preserve its shape after all the number of washings and wearing it will go through, fabric also sets the quality of your t-shirt printing results.
What is the best type of t-shirt fabric will fit your specific purpose? The discussion below will help you discover the different varieties of t-shirt fabrics.
A great majority of t-shirts found in the market are manufactured from polyester, 100% cotton, or cotton-polyester blends. In addition to the three common kinds of shirt fabrics, there are manufacturers who make fabrics from organically grown cotton and natural dyes; they do this for the purpose of saving the environment.
Knit fabrics, such as jerseys, interlock and rib knits, are ideal for t-shirts that need some form of “stretch”. Considering that jersey is extremely multi-functional, flexible, and relatively inexpensive, it is one of the most popular kinds of fabric for silk screen printing or heat transfer printing.
For sturdy fabrics that do not shrink in the dryer or get faded due to exposure to the sun’s rays, you can select cotton/polyester blends, as these usually serve the purpose. Considering that the most common types of t-shirt fabrics in the market these days are cotton and/or cotton/polyester blends, we will discuss these types in depth, as well as compare their characteristics in relation to their serviceability for t-shirt printing.
There are 2 types of cotton fabric: combed cotton and carded cotton. On touch, one can note that combed cotton fabrics are softer in feel than carded ones.
The combing procedure allows for the separation of cotton fibers, generating longer, thinner, and more even fibers. These thinner fibers are twisted together to create a smoother, finer thread. This technique supplies the smoothness noted in combed cotton fabric.
In the meantime, carded cotton is created through a mixture of short, thick and ragged cotton fibers. The ragged fibers are blown together, which produces a rough, thick thread. The coarse texture of carded cotton makes the fabric’s quality lower to that of combed cotton.
For top-quality t-shirt printing, printers would always prefer combed cotton over carded cotton for its smoothness and tight-knit weave. These features of combed cotton makes it perfect for silk screen t-shirt printing and embroidery.

Silk Screen printing what is that mean ?

Of course, this subject is not studied education, but it is a general idea of this aspect of the Printing Arts, Learning and mastery of this type of printing need to train my job, it is ad
.in theory
Tools used for printing
=======================
printing table or Machine printig
Which is the main tool used in the printing
machine is quite different from a table and printing pictures
Screen Printing Fabric
======================
Is a wooden frame by tightening the silk of your printer. This kind of silk products of high quality and is made specifically for this purpose, and some of it is very accurate, and is used to print very small, and the type of medium and used for printing business cards, publications, textiles, T-shirts. And the type of mesh used for larger print on wood, cardboard and solid materials
or large spaces
squeegee
=========
will also need squeegees. A squeegee is basically a handle with a rubber blade on the end. This blade is what you use to push or pull the ink through the screen and onto the shirt.
squeegee is the grip of wood or aluminum, installed at the edge of a piece of plastic. Used to withdraw ink on Alhiblonp. These squeegee come in different sizes depending on the size of the workspace, the more difficult area of a large frame, or printed material - needs more character to the squeegee
Light Fund
===========
We also need to fund closed on all sides except the top, where it is covered by glass. By several lamps (bulbs).
See the appropriate size of the nature and extent of Ahtravith, and the work assigned to him or by the habit. However, the appropriate size in normal (50 × 80) cm. And a height of approximately (40) cm from the level of the light bulbs. This fund to do is expose Alhiblonat formatted for printing - the light necessary to remove them
Sensitive material
==================
Sensitive material is highly sensitive to light, they dry quickly when exposed to him, so use this article to cover the silk .. Be added after a quantity of other highly focused escort comes in a small bottle, to reduce the water and then mix in the large box, so that it uses Alkhalitin together permanently. Can be used individually with a small bottle of each printing process by adding points, including the sensitive material. This is what the professionals to maintain the printing of sensitive material Drought Ooallv, as they need to be careful to stay as long as possible
Inks
====
Silk print special inks, usually comes a high quality so as to be more streamlined, and colors fixed for a long time
Artwork Film Positives
======================
If you can draw the artwork yourself, it is wise to use a vector art program like SmartDesign which is a Corel Draw supplementary program. This quick and easy tool ensures that you will have high quality artwork in the end in less than half the time. Photoshop can be used as well, but this is more for full color printing, etc., which is not good to start out with since there are special techniques to master before moving into this realm.
When you have artwork that is ready to print, you can print your artwork out on a clear film instead of paper. For every color you have, you will print it out as a black plate on a separate film. For example, if you have a logo that is Red & Black, you would separate the two colors from themselves and print each out, changing the red to black and printing and then printing the black. Each of these would be printed on their own film by a printer, inkjets have made great strides and coupled with a RIP program have made actual cameras and darkrooms almost obsolete
Machine dryer
=============
And is used in drying after printing the first color if the design was more than 1 color
And also after the completion of the printing of T-Shirts
Part II: Printing method
Preparing the design to be printed in place of a few very light delicate painted silk material referred to above, by means of a plastic card, and in an expeditious manner and at the same time lightly and mastery to the level of paint equal, the existence of extensive areas and other may result in distortion printing
We were drained using a hairdryer silk, and silk cover parties from inside and outside with duct tape kind of broad transparent or brown-size 5 cm. The purpose is to prevent leakage of ink from the parties to the silk. All this is rapidly becoming a place of light and lighting as much as possible so as not to completely dry silk
We design on a box so that the lighting of the paper to the highest
Put silk on a box lighting. Above and put a bag of sand, or stacks of books or other, so as not to spill light from the parties. Lighting and light up the Fund remains exposed to the light silk of: 2.5 to 5 minutes
Calories with water, then wash normally, and better to use the mailbox spray such as those used for spraying, washing the glass, or spraying pesticides. Keep the water naturally and Disseminating the silk to open the pores to the appearance of the characters. We continue to look so Alsmp or text is very clear, and make sure that no character is still visible.
And then left to dry, then you need is to install the framework and Imamate to be the addition of ink and printing
