how does everyone aligne images onto garments?
Posted by John Wilson on 7 November 2007 at 08:03What method does everyone use to make sure there images onto tshirts are straight and centered?
I seen this great tool but want to know if anyone else has a better method before ordering one up
Cheers 🙂

That tool looks interesting- but we just eyeball the centre- it’s not hard. A ruler helps for occasional confirmation, if needed.

I recently bought a teesquareit from the US (now they are stocked by SubliNation I believe)
To be honest I havn’t found it much of a benfit at all, if anything it lengthens the time taken to lay a transfer down on a shirt, I find they ‘by eye’ method has always worked well enough for me!
Many many rave reviews about the tool though so I keep an open mind.

eyeball and feel… however if you have one leg longer then the other or a longer arm then the other, you will struggle lol

for a one colour print simply place the posi on the garment (correct print position) and line the screen up to the posi.

quote Dave Rowland:eyeball and feel…
same way i do it too, years of experience and confidence come to mind too 😀

I recommend this book to all that screen print, I bought the first addition years ago.

Loads of advice and tips.
Tip of the day: if you scorch a white t-shirt through your drier or press simply spray Hydrogen peroxide onto the light tan scorch area and it will fade back to white and not affect the print/transfer.[/img]
