How to layer mutli-colored designs?

Recommended Posts

If you had to print the letter A on a shirt that's white with a thin red outline and then another blue outline, how would you do it?

Would you cut a big blue A, and then lay a red A on that followed by a little white A on top? That would make each color the same thickness all the way across. It would also distort each letter making the outlines lopsided.

You could make a big white A that would be the foundation, and a red a that goes on top with a bigger gap to let the white come through followed by a blue outline. That would also make it each color the same thickness, but would be stacked in reverse order. You still have the problem of it distorting, but the outline is pressed last, so the distortion should be minimal.

You could cut the red and blue as outlines and only overlap them a tiny bit. That would make a ridge in the colors, but should help with the distortion.

You could make it so the outlines line up perfectly with no overlapping. Avoiding distortion when the first color is pressed seems impossible.
