Re: How do you screen print on 2 sides of a garment? I print a different design to both sides of a t-shirt using a heat press.

Re: How do you screen print on 2 sides of a garment? I believe so. How long do you dry it for.

Re: How do you screen print on 2 sides of a garment? You mention heat press=If you are doing transfers, press 1 side, flip it and do the other.

Re: How do you screen print on 2 sides of a garment? Will that not ruin the original print on the other side?

Re: How do you screen print on 2 sides of a garment? if I'm heatpressing both sides of the shirt I usually dress the shirt over the press - meaning to slide it on over the bottom platen for the 2nd heatpressing. That way you are not pressing the first image again.
