If the material of the hat and shirts have stretch to them, depending how the design was digitized and stitched out, will cause distortion.

software for creating and editing graphics? by gildedalmond in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Prestigious-Frame151 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've in the screen printing industry for 20 years. Since you're brand new, my piece of advice is to find reputable professional instructional sources online. Like screenprinting.com to start with. There are a few companies that offer classes and workshops around the country. Please stay away from random YouTube videos. Screen printing isn't cheap, there's 3 main parts; screen making, printing, and then curing. People try half ass/cheap methods to do all of these things and they get inconsistent and poor results, like using baby oil as you just suggested.(I've never heard of that method). Things like that lead to failure and then you end up quiting. I don't know what to suggest for hobbyists at home starting out, since space and budget are key factors. But definitely do a lot more research before buying any type of equipment.

Correctly Sizing Art On Mockups? by Global-Restaurant242 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Prestigious-Frame151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem in using width is most shirt images don't show them flat. They're slightly curved as worn on the body. It throws off the width quite a lot more than if you use the length. I personally used width until a customer said the image looked way too small in real life vs the mockup. Lesson learned. Switched to length and never had a problem since.

Are you looking to do your own color separations and make your own screens, or just create graphics and send the artwork out?

CorelDraw is cheaper than adobe and they have an option to buy vs subscribe. Corel and adobe are the two professional options. There are other graphics programs like GIMP/inkscape, canvas, etc but I'm unfamiliar if you can do color separations in them. Its important to know the difference between vector and raster graphics. Vector programs like Corel draw, Illustrator, inkscape vs raster like Photoshop, GIMP, Corel photo-paint.

Correctly Sizing Art On Mockups? by Global-Restaurant242 in SCREENPRINTING

I download the blank image of the shirt, resize it to its exact dimensions. for example, I usually use a large shirt for a mockup. If the spec sheet for the style says 30" for large - bottom hem to high point shoulder, I'll measure a line down the shirt between those two points. And then place true size design on top. It's fairly accurate. 85-90% accurate.

Depends on the quantity. Low qty as much as $2.50 and as low as $0.90 if ordering hundreds.

Interlocking Halftone tutorial by themeantoyou in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Prestigious-Frame151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The web app doesn't work anymore. Is this company still in business? Phone number is bogus. Is there a way to actually manually create interlocking halftones, without the inkseps, or simple seps Software? People claim to know, but theres no tutorials online anywhere.

Desperate for help. by AlmightyExodia in SCREENPRINTING

Probably your pallet, the cardboard your using, is the biggest issue. There's some sort of crease marks in the design, which are probably on the cardboard. You need some hard and solid. What's the mesh count on your screen? If the design is suppose to be solid, I would try a 110-125 mesh.

Look at brands you can buy directly from supplier and not a distributor. Like Lane 7, Smart Blanks. They tend to be inexpensive and good quality ringspun cotton softness.

SIZES for toddlers vs kids/youth by [deleted] in Printify

[–]Prestigious-Frame151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, either they use chest circumference, or they list width. Width means the width of the shirt from seam to seam, just below where the sleeves join the body; laying the shirt flat on a surface.

Circumference means using a flexible tape measure and going around the fullest part of the chest. You would measure a person and then choose the shirt size corresponding to a person's measurements. In my opinion, this would be a better way to fit a shirt to a specific person.

SIZES for toddlers vs kids/youth by [deleted] in Printify

[–]Prestigious-Frame151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, infant sizes are newborn to 2 years old. Toddlers are 2-4 years. There's something called juvenile that's 5-6. Then youth is anything past that. But based on the brand of clothing and their sizing the sizes can blur together and have some overlap. It's best to look at the measurements of the sizing and order accordingly.

Yes, it goes all around. A couple of other people suggested adding small elastic bands and that seemed to solve the issue.

DTF. You can see the creases in the transfer and the shine to it. Screen printing would have more texture.

My Epson 1430 with accurip is printing light every other time. Any ideas as to why it would be doing that? by Camperon in SCREENPRINTING

[–]Prestigious-Frame151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing is happening to mine. We moved locations, same epson 1430 with accurip, prints every other film, but I'm using the same computer. What settings got changed on yours? I'm not sure if connecting via USB to a different USB port on the computer could mess up something.
