which is better screen printing or heat transfer??
lapsey replied to Uncle Remus's topic in T-Shirts and/ or Garments
Screen printing is cool and everything, I did it in high school in graphics class, it's kinda messy, and if you're not doing a lot at a time it would seem like a hassle. With heat transfer vinyl you can also have a better view of where your design is going. I dunno, I'm still new to it all myself, but when I think about screen printing, it just sounds like a headache. I don't have the huge space needed for all of the stuff, the sinks for degreasing your screens and rinsing off ink, cleaning up, etc...can you even wash that stuff down residential drains, would it clog them? Just sounds more complicated than vinyl. Vinyl is no mess, minimal clean up, and seems like you would have a lot less mistakes. If I did screen printing I don't think I would enjoy it as much, I feel I would look at it as a chore instead of something I enjoy doing. Just my noobie 2 cents! (don't know about printing onto iron on vinyl quality doesn't seem that great for those, I do the solid color vinyl, no photographs, etc) -
I'm not sure what you mean, aluminum oxide? From what?

Sure cuts a lot pro that came with my cutter.

Playing around with etching empty moonshine bottles

Totally cool, never heard of the rub and buff. Do you etch it and smear something on it? -
Watched the whole series twice and thanks

Yeah I wanted it to be bigger but was trying to make it fit in with the sun

Yes he is LOL. I love Randy, though! Him and his cheesburgers

Will wash them a couple of times but I think the vinyl is there to stay, I can kinda see the fabric through the vinyl.

Turned out pretty good for a newbie! My first heat transfer t-shirts ever. The 8-bit is mine and the other I made for my husband. That one won't be a shirt I can sell though since it's based on the trailer park boys tv show. The k got a little messed up during weeding because it was so thin, had to cut a little bar by hand and just stick in on there Hey it works for a test shirt. (top right of the k)

I might take you up on that some day. I'm trying to concentrate on vinyl projects right now, I'm starting to wonder if the glass stuff will be worth my time....hmmm..I don't want to take on too many projects at once. If I decide to try it I'll let you know, and thank you for the offer

ok cool thank you I will take a look next time I'm at wally world
-
Ok thanks, don't know what that is but I'll look into it

Yikes! Gushing meadows Just ordered some shirts, a few in my size to practice on. Gonna be so addicted to heat transfer...
