This was the second week into my live
project for my business. After last week’s disaster of screen printing, I
decided to do more thick designs as screen printing is the most professional
way to print onto t-shirts without them fading.
For this I came up with 4 new designs ready
for screen-printing. Once I got the images ready for screen-printing I exposed
them to the light and washed them away. Once I did this I noticed the screen
burned out in places that I didn’t want it to do so it created holes that I did
not want it too. So if I were to print these designs it would leave unwanted
lines and spots so I couldn’t use this screen. With the second screen I exposed
it worked. When I printed onto the t-shirt it worked but once I printed more than
one print onto the t-shirt it started to leave trace marks of other prints so
this ruined the T-shirt. I then printed off this print onto the other t-shirt,
because I pushed the ink through that many times the lines started to bleed
which made it look very scruffy.
After screen-printing not going so well I
decided to use another method to print with. This method was T-shirt transfers.
I found this a very easy way of printing but I can tell that it will crack and
peel after you wash them. I created four t-shirts with this method and I really
liked the outcome of this but it’s not enough good quality for what I want. I
will retry to do screen-printing again but be more patent with it and take my
time when doing them as I feel that I rushed it when I did not need to.
