Digital printing is now the most convenient for most people nowadays for this process can immediately show quick results. But a number of people still do praise the traditional one which is the silk screen t-shirt printing Omaha. This is because they wanted to have their shirts more personalized or made by their own hands. Now if you want to give a gift like this to a friend, then you have to know the preparation.

Of course every thing you do, you got to need some tools. For the pattern of your design, it is highly suggested to use a stencil paper. But if you can hardly found one, it is okay to use a bond paper or any old films and cellophane. Just make sure the material you will be using for your pattern is not too delicate. It should be strong enough to hold wet.

There are various of adhesives to choose from for the process but you can only use what is the most convenient for you. Most students and non experts are using acrylic paint. This is a water based color and does dry quickly. Variety of colors and shades are available in the market. Though the most suitable is the fabric paint which is much more expensive than the acrylic

The principal tool to have this type of printing is the silk screen which is made of mesh. You can purchase the one with white mesh in the departments stores. It would be hard you to see a yellow mesh in such place for yellow mesh is mostly used by experts already for this absorbs light. For the frame, just choose the one with wooden for you are not a commercialized printing company that needs to use metal framed screen.

To apply the paint you are to use a squeegee. It is made of either wooden or metal handle and a soft rubber blade. The one with aluminum is called the ergo force in which the squeegee will do the more work than you will. You do not need to give much effort in controlling it anymore for in ergo force it is made to control its blade. Its blade is replaceable.

Ergo force squeegee is very ideal for it runs smoother compared to the other. But this type of applicator is expensive and will take time because upon purchasing it, you still have to assemble its part. The wooden on the other hand is not complicated for it ready made but it does not work as smooth as the aluminum is but still have enough good results.

Of course when doing your patterns, you have to cut them out so that it could be converted into an imprint. Most people are using paper cutters and scissors for shaping and cutting. But if you have extra money you could buy a stencil cutter which might help you have a better result to those designs which are very curvy.

If your screen is too big for your design, you can use masking tape to cover extra spaces. Paint brushes are not necessary but is ideal to make a more stroke design. Of course, pencils and pens for pattern making and news papers for spills.

We really thought that silk screen t-shirt printing Omaha is already out of trend. Just so you know, trend is not all about the process of making, it is the magic on how you make your art more ecstatic. So now, go to the store and start doing your own art pop.
