banzaimini1 1 Posted May 15, 2015 A friend of mines father passed away and they wanted to do a image of him on a shirt. I personally have never done anything like this. I usually stick to basic design for shirts and stickers. Any one point me in the right direction. I'm a self learner not asking for anyone to do it for me. Just what programs do you use it a shortcut to doing it.. I'll figure it out myself. Thanks guys for all who helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KYSIGN 233 Posted May 15, 2015 I have used Photoshop to create a decent single color image that could then be traced. Remember to save a backup after each step. 1. Remove the background and anything else you don't want. 2. Use image>adjustments>Posterize and select somewhere between 10 - 20 colors/levels (play around with it) 3. Use image>adjustments>Threshold and adjust to your liking. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if needed. 5. Touch up as needed and export image. 6. Import into your cutting design/cut software and trace. 7. Clean up the trace and then cut a sample. Someone else may have a better solution but I have used this method in the past. I would just use some JPSS printed with pigment based ink on a white/light shirt and do a full color print. It would probably be much faster and cheaper than cut vinyl. I also remembered this post that you may find useful. http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/topic/45878-guilloch%C3%A9/?hl=zebratrace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks guys for all who helps Im sure they want inkjet transfer but most just want a image on it so if you mention cut vinyl thats what they think it is. I use mclogans inkjet transfers for lights when I do memorial shirts. except last week I had a order with Htv but it was words and wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signyouup 178 Posted May 15, 2015 There used to be a filter for Photoshop called "Stamp" that worked pretty well for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
