Screenprinting on tshirts with print transfer paper?

Question

I have a few tshirts I would like the screenprint and I am thinking of buying 'Inkjet T-Shirt Transfer paper' but I have a few questions to ask... :)

1. First of all, what kind of fabric mix does the transfer work most effectively on? Is a cotton/polyester mix a good fabric to work with?

2. Are these transfers reliable as going to get your tshirt screenprinted at the screenprinting shop? Do they come out with cracks and missing parts of the picture?

3. I noticed that separate 'dark tshirt' and 'white & light' tshirt transfer paper is being sold. Is it possible to use paper for dark/black tshirts on white tshirts? What is the difference between these and why are they sold separately?

4. I am assuming the paper you put in the printer is white - how would I screenprint a picture that is white onto a pink tshirt?

Feeling a little confused so hope you guys can help me out! :D

1. Is a cotton/polyester mix a good fabric to work with?
That is the best.

2. Are these transfers reliable as going to get your tshirt screenprinted at the screenprinting shop?
Usually, yes.

Do they come out with cracks and missing parts of the picture?
This depends on how careful you are with not wrinkling the fabric or the transfer, and not allowing it to move during the process.

3. I noticed that separate 'dark tshirt' and 'white & light' tshirt transfer paper is being sold. Is it possible to use paper for dark/black tshirts on white tshirts? What is the difference between these and why are they sold separately?
It is for color match to the fabric.

4. I am assuming the paper you put in the printer is white - how would I screenprint a picture that is white onto a pink tshirt?
Just use the white paper. The problem is you will get a white area around the transfer. But, I don't think you can get pink paper.

Follow instructions on the paper pack. Some require removing backing while hot. Others require cooling first.

Answer 2

Actually screen printing is when you use paints and a series of screens. What you want to do is an iron-on transfer.

1. They work on anything that can stand the heat of an iron.

2. They come out fine, but they will start to peel off if you put the shirt in the drier. Sometimes you can see the background, and that might not be attractive.

3. The background color is different.

4. You put the iron-on transfer paper into the printer. You may have to cut away the background if you want to print on a light color.

Answer 3

Many fabric printing methods are derived from technologies that were originally designed for use on other materials. This results in the application of inks to the surface of a shirt or piece of clothing where it can be easily peeled away or affected by weather. Screen printing uses pressure from a squeegee or other mechanical device to force the ink into the fibers where it is absorbed and integrated into the fabric.This creates printed products that have very durable graphics. The graphics will not wash away or respond to physical contact. Items printed in this way will last for years.

while you're in basic terms doing text cloth, confirm which you do create the words utilising WordArt, then as quickly as the container with the text cloth comes up, you may drag the left part all a thank you to the right until the text cloth switches facets. while you're utilising a picture or pre-made photograph of the text cloth, open up Paint and open the image, then click "photograph" - "turn/Rotate" and use 'turn horizontal'.

Answer 6

printers don't print white.
you could cut out what you want, maybe print it in reverse.
just buy a package and try it.
it's uses a lot of ink, so make sure you have extras on hand.
have fun
