djque 246 Posted September 24, 2015 Whats TCI Thanks TCI is a silkscreen shop that makes plastisol transfers of the design you send them and the charge you. once you get the plastisol transfer back and heat press it on to your shirts. plastisol transfers is the way to go if 1) you dont want to spend the money to buy the silkscreen setup 2) your clients are ok with them cause they dont have the silkscreen feel and some clients want that feel.

knucklehead 530 Posted September 27, 2015 Plastisol transfers are 'screen prints', they're just printed in reverse, and upside down, on a carrier sheet, so when you apply it, it's just like it came off a screen print machine. Just like a traditional screen print, the more colors, means, the more color separations, and more screens to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 28, 2015 Except the pressing process on the transfers makes them flatter and usually shinier than actual on the garment printing. Not necessarily a bad thing but something to be aware of and I have actually pressed screen print shirts to get that effect on occasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeJaysPlace 476 Posted October 2, 2015 I have found, you screenprint, and let the others, do the other stuff, or do the other stuff, and get someone else to do your screen printing. Umm.. I screen print and other stuff.. Yep some days i wish i only stuck to one thing! Screen printing is a little messy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
