Question

How can you silk- screen t-shirts?

Answer 1

I am a beginner at this. I bought a product  (in a kit)called "stencilpro" for my first attempt at making a silk screen t-shirt. This is a great product! To make your silk screen using this product or photoez, it does not take any chemicals. Check out this video 1. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3-Ur8zTEou0 2. http://youtube.com/watch?v=fIpDiVpU2YQ&m...  3. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6DkJyzEONUk&m...

Stencilpro is about the same product as photoez, but has a little longer shelf life.

I thought this looked to good to be true, but made a perfect stencil on the first try, and my shirt turned out perfectly. You can reuse the stencils. All of my  shirts came out very well, and as a plus using verstatex, if I made a mistake, I just washed the shirt before the paint dried, dried it, and tried again. I suggest buying stencil paint such as Versatex or Jacquard. I prefer Jacquard as the pigment seems finer, and it works with a higher resolution screen, but for shirts either is fine and I use standard resolution. You can purchase supplies from: http://www.ezscreenprint.com/  and http://www.cbridge.com/

Make sure to heat set the paint on shirts or buy a fixer, this way the paint will adhere and not come off in the wash.

I think, if you are not going into business silk screening, Stencilpro & Photoez are perfect!! Now I am using my stencils on Glassware. The projects are endless!
