    What 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

    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.

    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]
