Need help with a T shirt design
I dont have a Fast T jet and think these will need screen printing, he doesnt want transfers and they are to go on black shirts. Its for a tattoo shop in Germany and to be perfectly honest its not something Ive screen printed before.
Looking how intricate the design is it would need a superfine mesh but not sure how many screens I could do it with.
Any help appreciated.

A nice dot count and you could use 1 screen 77 or 90 T mesh, then overprint 1 screen 77 / 52 T
Could even try 1 screen 77T mesh, Print / Flash, Print / Flash, Print
Make sure your stroke and flood are nice and slow, one point to remember, most prints like this aren’t super white.
Ps you dont want to get a Fast T jet EVER OR EVEN EVER
hope this helps Mike

Thanks for the reply Mike,
Im assuming if I were to try plastisol (thats what he wants as a finish)
I would have to reduce it a bit to get it through the mesh? -
Hi Steve
No need to reduce the ink, one tip I would give you is to place your ink on top of the dryer about an hour before you start printing, will make it nice and usable.

Nice one thanks mate so basically 2 screens and what you describe above all 40 will come out perfect yes?
:lol1:Lol I should be so lucky, Ill give it a go anyway.
Thanks for all the advice -
If I was doing this job, I would really go with 1 screen a 77 I would print, flash ,print ,flash print if its only 40 shirts I wouldn’t go 2 screens.
Looks like quite an easy design to work with, make sure you dip your screen after exposure for a good 15 mins and don’t be afraid to use the power washer to get the best out of the design.
