best way to do this

[iomgraphix]

Hi Guys,


I have been designed a logo for a customer who originally wanted iphone cases and mugs, however now they want the logo on tshirts.

What is the best way to have this logo put on the tshirt? I usually use vinyl but with this being quite a fiddly logo, I wanted to know if it would be easier to have it printed on?If printing is the best method, could someone give me a quote per tshirt. Many Thanks Mark1373

fiddly? :)
I think this is most basic two colors that most people wish to have to cut and weed :)
I had some FIDDLY ones in the passed ;)

Would you say vinyl is best then?

It is just the inside of the 'Superman' S that is worrying me. Would you suggest pressing one at a time, or both together?

If I press one on over the top of the other, will be be on if I protect it with the teflon sheet?

thank,

Mark

Press one colour over the other, use a sheet on top to protect top platen, finally do a short press to make sure it all seals together.

You'll maybe need red for the S logo? and bear in mind copyright.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your help.

The tshirts are for a friend of mine anyway, so not selling exactly.

I have only ever done tshirts with multi colours next to one another, not on top or in the middle. Best give this one a go and see how I get on.

It usually works well but not all vinyls can overlay so maybe worth a check/test first :-)

I will need to put a order in for the vinyl anyway, do you have a suggestion where to buy the vinyl that will do the job?

[Justin]

Only vinyl I've ever done it with was 'Super' from Xpres but I'm sure most will work.

thanks for your support.

If Im not mistaken... or colour-blind... isnt there 3 colours?.... and yes... I think it is also a very basic design and easy to print. Background lettering...Outline lettering....and...(if Im not colour-blind)... the superman logo (easier to add last as it is smaller).. press one, two, three....
The vinyl Justin refererred to from Xpres is very good and will produce the quality garments you are looking for. :)

well I want it to be 2 colours really, The inside of the writing it meant to be the same colour as the superman yellow and the red for the 'S'. But I recon the 3 step suggestion is best.

Thanks guys

you are making a lot of work to do T's in vinyl with this artwork...... just say that you can only offer this design on white T's - and use sub/laser trasferes

[iomgraphix]

do you know where to get design white tshirts suitable for laser transfer, also where to get decent laser transfers.

thanks

Mark

if you are worried about the S logo, then just cut the red diamond solid and put the yellow logo over it, nothing to line up then

I'd just print and cut the lot.

Print and cut....on my vesacamm.... :-)

really want a versacamm but I only have a plotter :(
Does anyone have a Versacamm for sale?

[mrs maggot]

you need to learn to master some simple layering, it is possible, and if you dont have the money for a versacam, the options are, to sub them out to one of the posters above, or do them in vinyl layering and taking time

I have a Roland BN-20 - might be able to help out?

I have a Roland BN-20 - might be able to help out?

Been wanting to get a BN 20 do you get a lot of use out of it?

Sorry to jump in

What sort of price could you do me 4 prints for?

[zai2289]

Xpres are brilliant for layering - so are vinyls from http://www.creativetransfers.co.uk - Never had a problem layering them as there sportfilm range is so thin, gives an excellent look

[mrs maggot]

blimey that's and old post you have dug up there Zai - might be worth checking the dates in the left hand side of the posts

i know its a old post and im a new member, but wondering if this tee ever got printed would be cool to see the results. Personally I would have done red and yellow vinyl, 2 cuts and layed ontop of each other.
