Screen Print School T-Shirts
Many people go to the extent of getting their own T-shirt printed. One can use anything for printing; it does not necessarily have to be a message. One can have a picture of scenery or that of his/her favorite actor. Another innovative concept that is gaining ground is having your family photo over your shirt. This is good business for the T-shirt manufacturing companies. Screen printing and digital printing are the two methods of T-shirt printing used nowadays. The time it takes to print on a T-shirt, is reduced due to the advent of modern machines.
T-shirt design printing has gained popularity in a short span of time. T-shirt design printing is a very practical process that is easy to understand and implement. T-shirt printing is not anyone's cup of tea, but still some people find it interesting while some pursue it as a full-time career.
As you can see, promotional t shirts are an interesting way to advertise your message. When designing your shirts, it's always best to keep in mind the end result that you want to achieve. Ask yourself, "What is my goal in doing this?", and this way you'll have a clearer understanding of how to design and print your custom apparel.
Half tones and PMS colors: It can be very costly to use high resolution pictures and full tone colors. Budget constraints, often call for the use of halftones. In order to achieve this, the color scale must be toned down to the PMS color percentage.
If you have a slogan or USP (unique selling proposition), would it be appropriate for the custom apparel? This is an extremely subjective question that only you can answer. For instance, for a cleaning company or moving company, it would be very appropriate. But for more of a conservative real estate company, the logo might be enough. Then again, a real estate company might want to stand out with a bold statement, so it really depends on the direction you want to take with your advertising and promotion on custom T shirt printing.
You've probably been wondering if you should set up a screen printing business in your basement, use heat transfers, or if any of those online Print On Demand (POD) services are worth your time. Well it depends on your end goals. Do you want to market yourself to local schools, clubs, business's, and churches? Would you rather put a few killer designs up that people all over the world can find and purchase? Perhaps a combination of the two?
Another great way to personalize your t-shirts is by printing on funny lines or intelligent phrases. If you can not come up with something of your own, merely look up on the net to find a catchy line that'll look great on your t-shirt and also reveal your personality. If you support a certain cause or are curious about specific serious public problems, you could emboss educational messages such as 'Smoking Kills' on your t-shirt as well. While poster colors might be used to paint these messages onto the t-shirt, permanent markers provide you much neater results.
