The chapter would be “Chapter One: Preparing A Printing Block”, “Chapter Two: Expose Image”, “Chapter Three: Print On Tshirt”, “Chapter Four: Cleaning Secret-Recycling” and “Chapter Five: Collection of Tips”.
Just pray for it to become reality. Wait for that and be with me always.
Thats all for today. See u next time….
Two Colors Printing – Basic To Multicolor Printing.
Sep 25th
Hi! again. My last post shows u all how to print single color – white. So, now i’m going to show u with the same design and block, i can print two colors.
The same design and block. This time u tape
the cellophane tape onto the outside line of the design.
After u taped the outside line of the image on the printing block,
adjust the printing block so that it foll onto the last printed image (white) perfectly.
Then, u spread any color on the inside of the printing block - i use purple in this example.Again, be don’t hesitate. The collophane tape will block the ink so that the only inner image will be turned into purple.
Repeat each printing steps (spreading ink and drying) until u get the desired color’s thickness. You can see that the outter line still in white, while the inner image turned purple.
Tips of the day:
-
You don’t have to prepare two printing block for each color. U can do it with 1 printing block only.
-
But if you run your printing in bigger quantity, it’s better to have printing block for each color u need.
-
Finally, it’s up to yourself to choose.
Bye, see u all again…
Third Step – Printing On T-Shirt.
Sep 24th
See u all again!! I’m going to teach u all “How To Print On TShirt”.
Things u need.
Take one blank tshirt.
Slide in the glued plywood into the shirt.
Press the tshirt evenly to stick with
the glued pywood underneath.
Take the printing block [in step two]
and tape its’ edges with cellophane tape.
Place the printing block at the centre
of your tshirt.
Prepare for the rubberised ink
onto the squeegee.
(A) Spread the ink into the printing block.
Don’t hesitate. Be confident.
(B) Lift up your printing block.
Clean the underneath of ur block with
wet sponge.
Then, dry the underneath of ur
block with dry clothe.
(C) Dry the ink with flash blower.
Repeat steps A, B and C for the second time.
Tips of the day:
-
We clean the underneath of the printing block with wet sponge and dry clothe, so that the ink will not block the mesh when it dried [blockage]. It’s very important when we run bigger production and need to changes into new tshirts.
-
We repeat steps A to C, to make sure the color is bright and it durable when washed. Sometime we repeat three times.
-
Important for u to confirm the tshirt dried fully, if not it will peel off when wash. I usually dry my tshirt under the sun’s heat-cost saving..
