greenmachine 52 Posted March 19, 2009 How would I go about creating a Transfer to put an image and white lettering on a dark t shirt without doing screen printing? I want to put a dodge ball on the center with the team name around it. Thanks for any suggestions. greenie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

23putts 0 Posted March 19, 2009 If you need 12 or more find a good screen printer like myself.. White with one flash = vivid white on dark tee.... www.ozarkmountainscreenprinting.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Can-Am 1 Posted March 21, 2009 Why stop at 12... If the equipment you have is a cutter and a press, who cares but the guy/gal doing the work, go for it make a hundred shirts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, white over a dark shirt is much better with vinyl. No bleed through. You would have to be making about 150-250 shirts before it would actually be cheaper to sub out to a screen printer per shirt(depending on the design). Then after wear and wash the color would bleed throught the sp faster than the vinyl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrinterCutter 0 Posted May 20, 2009 I don't know about you but black doesn't bleed through white on my press.I have both a cutter and press and I know for sure I wouldn't do a 100 on a cutter not even 10 screen print is much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I wouldn't do 100 vinyl any day. It would take considerably longer than printing. You could probably sub them out for less than you would have in vinyl and weeding time. White on black screenprinting is an artform in itself. But when done correctly, it's much better than vinyl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
di3go 0 Posted May 21, 2009 White on black screenprinting is an artform in itself. But when done correctly, it's much better than vinyl. What type of ink would you suggest? I am doing them with water based inks. I am getting a lot of bleed through. 100% cotton shirts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midwaste 4 Posted May 21, 2009 I don't do waterbased printing, but that is why you are getting bleed through. You aren't going to get a great opaque white with waterbased, however, the best white I have heard is Matsui. Plastisol is a different story, its pretty easy to get a good white on black.
