By Angela Briggs


Digital shirt printing is very prominent these days for they are easier and the process is very fast. But this method would cost you hundreds. This is why there are still a lot of people who prefer having silk screen t-shirt printing Omaha for it is easy and cheap. Though this would take time to get the result but most people wanted their shirts more personalized. If you are planning to have one then you have to know the preparations.

Tools are the most important thing you ought not to forget. Stencil paper is the most used paper for pattern making. But if you prefer using common materials, then you can use bond paper or recycle your used negatives and x ray films kept in your house. In fact you can use anything but be sure that it will not damage your work.

The paints for this are available in various types depending on the preference of the user. But paint such as acrylic is the most used by most of the beginners and some experts. This one dries quickly and soluble in water. But the best for t shirt works is the fabric paint but not all would spend their money in such which result can be altered by the acrylic.

You can never do the process without the principal tool which is the silk screen. Most amateur are buying silk screens with white mesh for this is the most available in the department stores. There are only less stores who are selling screens with yellow mesh. White mesh reflects light, yellow mesh absorbs light. Wood frame is most used that the one with aluminum.

The applicators is very important. And for this type of printing, you only need to use a squeegee. Squeegee is made of soft rubber blade to press the adhesive into the fabric. There are certain types for this, and two of it is the ergo force which has an aluminum handle and which blade is replaceable and a the one with wooden handle and most of the time with irreplaceable blade.

But to compare the two, it is very advantageous to have an ergo force squeegee for the one that holds its blade is intentionally not on the same level. This is to control the bending of the rubber blade. You will exert more energy on the wooden one for it does not have its own control of the blade upon bending. And unnecessary bending may ruin your work.

But the most ideal for this is the stencil cutter for it makes your cutting more easier especially to those patters with complicated curves.

Masking tape must be used if the design is too small for the screen, this is to avoid unintentional mistake and not to waste paint. You can also purchase paint brushes to do some brush strokes on your shirt. And do not forget to use news paper for spilling.

Traditional t-shirt printing Omaha might be out of civilization already. But it is not important of what is trending, the most important is the efficiency of the work. Now you can now make a personalized design for your partner.
