There’s something special about a custom-printed T-shirt. Whether you’re representing your favorite team, brand, or cause, or simply showing off your unique style, a custom T-shirt lets the world know who you are and what you’re about.
And if you’re looking to create your own custom T-shirts, screen printing is the way to go. Screen printing is a printing technique that involves creating a stencil of your design and then using that stencil to apply ink to your shirt.
The result is a high-quality, durable print that will last wash after wash. Plus, screen printing is relatively inexpensive, so you can create as many T-shirts as you want without breaking the bank.
There are two types of screen printing inks:
- Plastisol Ink
- Waterbase Ink
Plastisol screen printing ink is a type of ink used in screen printing. It is made from a suspension of PVC particles in a liquid plasticizer and is used to print designs on textile fabrics.
Water-based screen printing inks are made with a water-soluble emulsion that dries to a soft hand. These inks are great for printing on light-colored garments and are also very popular for printing on dark garments when a high-opacity white is needed to block out the color of the garment.
Some of the potential pros of screen printing may include:
1. It is a very versatile printing method and can be used on a variety of substrates.
2. Screen printing is ideal for printing large quantities of the same image.
3. Screen printing produces very sharp and detailed images.
4. This printing method is very durable and will not fade over time.
5. Screen printing is a relatively inexpensive printing method.
Some of the potential cons of screen printing may include:
1. Screen printing can be a time-consuming process, especially if you are working with complex designs.
2. Screen printing can be somewhat messy, as you need to use inks or paints in order to create your design.
3. If you are not careful, screen printing can result in smudging or smearing of your design.
4. Screen printing can be expensive, depending on the materials you use and the complexity of your design.
