Screen printing t-shirts on just one side is pretty easy.丝网印刷T恤就只是一方是相当容易。 I tell you how to do it in my pages here.我告诉你怎样做,在我的网页在这里。 But screen printing a t-shirt on both the front and the back requires a few more steps.但丝网印刷T恤上都阵线和回需要几个步骤。
First I will print one side of the shirt.首先,我将打印一方的球衣。 It doesn’t matter which side.不要紧哪一方。 Then I will lay the shirt out to let the ink dry completely.然后我会奠定恤出来,让油墨完全干燥。 Later, maybe even the next day, I will print the shirt on the other side.后来,甚至第二天,我将打印的球衣在另一边。 It is probably possible to print both sides in short succession, but it would be hard to keep the wet ink from smearing, or coming off on other shirts.它可能是打印成为可能,双方在短期内继承,但将努力保持湿油墨从抹黑,或未来的小康就其他的衬衫。 I suppose if you have a flash dryer, you could dry the ink enough so that it would be safe.我想如果您有一个闪蒸干燥机,你可以干的墨水不够,所以,这将是安全的。 But that’s more of a commercial type operation.但是,这更多的是商业型的运作。 Flash dryers are expensive.闪存干衣机是昂贵的。 So print the once side, let dry, then print the other side.因此,打印,一旦一方,让干燥,然后打印的另一边。 Let it dry.让它干。
Now that both sides are printed, you need to heat set the ink.现在双方正在印刷,您需要一套热的墨水。 I do my heat setting in the oven.我手边我的热定型,在焦炉。 When the ink gets hot, it gets soft, and can come off on other stuff.当墨水得到的热点,它得到的软,并能来过对其他的东西。 So what I do is lay a clean piece of paper over the dried design on one side.因此,我要做的就是奠定了清洁一纸空文较干燥的设计一方。 Usually the smaller printed part.通常规模较小的印刷部分。 Then I will fold the shirt and leave the other printed part face up, not touching anything.然后我会折上衣及离开其他印刷品的一部分,正视,不触及任何事情。 This way, if the hot soft ink transfers a little, it will only be to the piece of paper, not to another part of the shirt.这样,如果炎热的软墨水转让很少,它只会向在一张纸上,而不是到另一部分的上衣。
I wanted to screen print some custom sweatshirts for my dad and his wife.我想丝网印刷的一些自定义运动衫,为我父亲和他的妻子。 I wanted to make something that look professional, but unique, and personalized for them.我想作出一些研究专业,但独特的,个性化给他们。 They are both love playing golf, and that gave me an idea.他们都是爱打高尔夫球,这给了我一个想法。 I would make up a ficticious country club, and design a logo for it.我想弥补一个虚构的乡村俱乐部,并设计一个标志。 I used the name of their street for the name of the ficticious country club: Firestone Court Country Club.我用的名称,其街的名称,虚构的乡村俱乐部:凡世法院乡村俱乐部。 Searching around on the internet, I found a simple shield graphic.搜索周围的互联网上,我发现一个简单的盾牌图形。 I loaded that into Photoshop, and cleaned it up, erasing some of the stuff that was already there. i加载到这一点的Photoshop ,清理起来,抹掉一些东西,这是已经存在。 I found some more graphics of golf balls, and golf clubs.我发现一些更多的图像高尔夫球,和高尔夫俱乐部。 I played with these and used the golf ball graphics.我打这些用高尔夫球图形。 I inserted a big cursive F and C inside the sheild. i插入一个大草书f和C内的挡箭牌。 I added the name of the fake country club.我已将名称假乡村俱乐部。 I also added the name of their city and state so that they would know that these were personalized for them, and not coincidentally named after their street.我还补充说:名称,他们的城市和国家,让他们知道,这些人的个性对他们来说,而不是巧合的命名后,他们的街。 I debated about addind their names, but decided against it. i辩论addind他们的名字,但决定不予采纳。 But I still wanted to add something else for some humor.但我仍想添加其他一些幽默。 So I labelled his sweatshirt “Senior Golf Instructor” to poke a little fun about his age.因此,我选修他的运动衫“的高级高尔夫球指导员”戳一点乐趣对他的年龄。 I labelled her sweat shirt “General Manager” to show that she was the boss. i标签,她的汗水恤“总经理” ,以证明她是老板。 The shirts were fun to make, and I think they really enjoyed them.该衬衫被乐趣,使,而且我觉得他们真的喜欢他们。

Occasionally we all make mistakes!有时,我们所有的失误! And when you are printing a tee shirt or a sweatshirt, it kind of sucks to mess it up.当你正在印刷一发球恤,或运动衫,种sucks为以一塌糊涂了。 T-shirts cost money! T恤成本钱! Sweatshirts cost money!运动衫的成本钱! If you are using water based ink and you goof, the shirts can probably be saved!如果您使用的水基油墨和你一封正常,衬衫,也许可以被保存!
I was printing a couple one-off sweatshirts as gifts.我是印刷一对夫妇一次过的运动衫,作为礼物。 These sweatshirts were thicker and software than I had printed before.这些运动衫被厚和软件,比我之前已印制。 And I was printing white on to a dark shirt which is hard enough.我是印刷白纸上,以一个黑暗的衬衫,这是很难不够的。 I had a hard time getting the design to be fully printed.我有一个努力的时间越来越设计要充分发挥印刷。 The first time I tried, the logo was only partially printed on the shirt.我第一次在尝试,标志是,只是部分地印上恤。 So I carefully laid the screen back down on to the shirt and tried again.因此,我仔细地奠定了屏幕上回就向恤,并试图再次。 But now the design looked kind of blurred.但现在的设计看种模糊。 I tried the other sweatshirt, and got the first design to print nice.我试过其他运动衫,并获得第一的设计打印好。 But now I had a misprinted sweatshirt, and I still need to print another design onto a second shirt.但现在我有一个misprinted运动衫,我仍需要打印的另一个设计上第二个恤。 I didn’t particularly want to go buy another one for $6 or $7 or $8 bucks, or whatever I paid.我没有特别想要去购买另一一为六元或七元或八元钱,或者无论我支付。 I wanted to try to save this one.我想试图挽救这1 。 The ink hadn’t been heat set yet.墨迹尚未订定,但热。 In fact, it hadn’t even dried yet.事实上,它甚至没有干涸。
So I quickly took the shirt down to my rinse tub where I have a hose attached, with a spray nozzle.因此,我很快了上衣下降到我的冲洗浴缸的地方我有一个软管的重视,一个喷嘴。 I sprayed the not yet dried design with a strong jet of warm water. i喷洒尚未干涸的设计具有强烈射流温水。 The design seemed to be washed away.设计似乎被冲走。 I through the sweatshirt into the washing machine, and afterward the dryer.一至该运动衫到洗衣机,和随后干燥。 There was no sign of the misprinted design.有没有迹象显示该misprinted设计。

I love Adobe Photoshop!我爱的Adobe Photoshop !

The feature I use the most is called layers.该功能我用,最重要的是所谓的层次。 To envision how layers work, picture a small stack of transparent plastic sheets.设想如何层工作,图片的一小堆的透明塑料表。 You draw some design on one sheet, and then you can see it through the stack.你得出一些设计上一表,然后你可以看到它通过堆栈。 Then on another sheet, you can draw another part of the design.然后在另一个表,您可以借鉴的另一部分的设计。 Now when you stack them, you see both parts together.现在,当你栈他们,您会看到两个部分在一起。 This is how layers work.这是如何层的工作。
With layers, I usually start with a white background, and then create a transparent layer over it.同层,我通常开始与一个白色的背景,然后创建一个透明层超过它。 I draw on the transparent layer in black.我提请对透明层为黑色。 I might draw some design or whatever on this layer.我可能会得出一些设计或什么就这层。 If I decide I want to add text, I create another transparent layer.如果我决定我要添加文本,我创建另一个透明层。 Then I put the text on this layer.然后我提出的案文就这层。 Why the layers are so useful is that all of the elements are on separate layers.为什么层,使有用的是,所有的要素都在不同的层次。 If I mess up on part, I can just redo that part without messing up the rest.如果我一塌糊涂了关于部分,我可以重做刚才的那部分没有梅辛了休息。 I can move parts around easily without disturbing the rest of the parts.我可以提出部分靠近很容易不干扰其余的部分。
The easiest way to create new layers in Photoshop is to select something on the current layer, and copy it to the clipboard using ctrl-c.最简单的方式,创造新的层在Photoshop是要选择一些对当前层,并复制到剪贴板使用Ctrl - C的。 If you have the little boox that displays the lays open, you will see a “floating layer”.如果您有小boox显示了开放,您会看到一个“浮动层” 。 This is a temporary layer that holds the stuff on the clipboard.这是一项临时层,拥有的东西就剪贴板。 Click on the floating layer label, and give it a name.按一下浮动层标签,并给它指定一个名称。 The temporary “floating layer” will now become a regular layer that is nwo the top layer.临时“浮动层”现在将成为一项常规层是nwo顶层。
If you look at the box that displays the layers, you will see little eyes icons.如果你看看在票房上显示层,您会看到小眼睛图标。 The eyes show that that layer is visible.眼睛表明,这层是可见的。 If you toggle the eye, that layer will become invisible.如果您切换的眼睛,即层将成为无形的。 This is usefull if you want to see how something looks without a particular layer, but don’t want to get rid of the layer permanently.这是非常有用的如果您想要看的东西看起来如何,没有特别层,但不希望摆脱对永久层。
When you are done, and the graphic looks like what you want it to, you can export the graphic as a tif, gif, or whatever other format you want.当您完成时,和图形看起来像什么,你想要它,您也可以导出图形作为一个tif , GIF或其他格式,无论你想。 Adobe Photoshop will export your artwork to this new format as a SINGLE layer.的Adobe Photoshop会汇出您的作品,以这种新格式作为一个单层。 Be sure to save your work in the Adobe Photoshop format as well.一定要保存您的工作中的Adobe Photoshop格式以及。 This will keep all of your layers.这将保持您所有的层。 So if you want to come back and change your design, you will still have everything in layers.因此,如果您想要回来更改您的设计,您将仍然拥有一切,在层。
Have fun!有好玩!
