Who can print this?

posted about 1 month ago by TrumanK

Is it possible to print with the size and placement of the mock?

Props to Herman btw.

    I would drool over that shirt if it was black and the color of the lion was obviously reversed.

    remember, if you do find a printer that is able to print it like the mock, you would have to buy a set of screens for each shirt size or else the small shirts will be missing part of the design and the large ones will be tiny on the shirt. so a 5 color design with 3 sets is 15 screens, and since printers charge $10-20 per screen that can get expensive.

    It’ll be much more than $10-20 per screen. That’ll be either an oversized print or an all-over print to get it the size of the mock, which costs a lot.

    yeah. cut down on the colors. switch some out. like those blues on the bottom.
    and maybe change the shirt color. everyone puts their designs on white for god sakes.

    I think a print like that should be separated by the printer. If they know what they’re doing, they’ll have a better idea of how to separate for their color mix without too much of the design going neutral and muddy.

    Keep it on white. Not having to underbase that shit will save you cash.

  12. TrumanK - Truman K avatar

    TrumanK said about 1 month ago

    damn it! i really appreciate the help guys, but I wish a printer would just say he can print it, and how he’s going to. (or she.) If some colors need to be switched out, so be it. As long as it looks just as sick as it does now. I love this design; it’s why i got involved with tees.

    Good luck on a belt printer. Process printing and loose registration...mmm bad times.

    or just get the screens made at a large size so they are a touch smaller on larger shirts and extra large on smaller shirts

  15. Cole - Cole Blotcky avatar

    Cole said about 1 month ago

    a belt printer yeilds terrible registration and you are going to need super tight registrtation to keep all those gradients looking good.

    that radical promotions place can print pretty big but look at the quality of their prints. super thick shiny sheets of plastic. eek.

    this could probably be done with 5 or 6 colors.

    TERMINUS TEES said about 1 month ago

    We could print that 16" X 22" we could run it at a 4 color process kind of like how they print in magazines. print it wet on wet and it blends the colors rather than a ton of dots. Would be a pain in the balls, but im pretty sure we could do it.

    I think you can go sublimation printing for this one. Imaginary FOundation has some interesting sublimation shirts.

    This last shirt is not sublimated.. it’s only "Waterbase soft hand print" according to their site

    Bottom line - if you want to print this as awesome looking as the mock up, you need to find a sublimation printer to press these for you. It’s gonna be expensive, but they’re going to look amazing.

    im curious about this as well...mostly about the gradient.
    ive read thru a few "how to print gradient" posts, and im aware of using halftones to do it...so like, if you wanted gradient from black to white (or any two colors) you would make a gradient in PS, flatten, grayscale, then color halftone, and select the black dots and change the color to what you want, inverse, and then change that to the other color...

    but what if you have a 3 color gradient? same sort of thing? do you need to use sublimation?

    and how is sublimation diff. than silk screening?

    ok sorry im sure the answers to these questions could be mined from the search function...feel free to ignore this post if you want (or answer questions if ur feeling helpful) ;p

    I’ve dealt with Radical for the past 2 months or so.
    They’ve been nothing but helpful to me, and have been very professional in doing so.
    And I could see why he would take a stance about that statement, I’m sure that’s something that any printer would take a stand about. It really made their products sound crappy, which isn’t the case.
    I’m not hear to step on anyones toes, or to get a reply back to this comment. This is just my experiences with Radical, and i wouldn’t feel nervous recommending them to anyone in need of quality prints.

    Back to the initial conversation, when I test printed this awhile back the colors turned out awesome. It is sublimation printed. I wish I had a big enough press to do a full tee.

    If Radical can do sublimation that’d be rad. I haven’t considered printing sublimation because of the quality of shirts. They are nice, but the fit isn’t as popular since it’s not slim.

    Just saying that it is possible to achieve....

    yea, we use plascharge when requested

    unfortunately on both shirts the customers got they were printed on FTL best 50/50 and Hanes 50/50 and plascharge doesnt work too well with anything other then 100% cotton

    we just dont have a strong market for 100% cotton shirts and not all AA 100% shirts do well with plascharge either
