Screenprinting tshirts




Today I have stripped my screen and got it ready for printing. I mainly wanted to test the colours and see how each of them worked on the different fabrics, so I printed on a light (white), medium (light grey) and dark (dark grey) tshirts to see how the ink sat.

I chose to use one of my simple vector image designs on the t-shirts so that I could experiment with colour, without it distracting from the image itself. So I created a gradient from pink to blue. The ink didn't sit very well on the dark grey fabric but worked considerably well on the light grey and white fabrics. So, I am going to buy some more lighter coloured tees.
