Default Finsihing touches to screen printed shirts
I am a newbie. I just had a lot of t-shirts screen printed and there are a few shading touches I would like to add. Since I can run the screen print again, I was wondering if there is a certain ink or paint I can use to hand finish these shirts?

Thanks

Hi J

I'm not sure if you're currently set up to re-register your existing shirts and screen print,
but if you want to do some customizing by "hand-finishing", there are textile inks that can be applied by brush (or silkscreened) available at many arts & crafts stores.

One popular basic brand is called "Speedball"
and is found at any of these resellers:

www.michaels.com
www.dickblick.com
www.utrechtart.com
www.saxarts.com
www.in2art.com
www.aaronbrothers.com
www.artistcraftsman.com
www.hyatts.com
www.omerdeserres.com
www.currys.com
www.wallacks.com
www.artistsupplies.com
www.artsuppliesonline.com
www.craftsetc.com
www.hobbylobby.com

Happy shading!

Hi Terry

Many acrylic polymer inks that are water-reducable are available for airbrushing textiles,
but here is a dedicated formula that is popular:
Golden Fluid Acrylics

Happy trails!
