that would require belt printing. VERY expensive. Especially if it's only one shirt. I'd spend my time trying to find that shirt on the web.

Sorry to disappoint, but... Welcome to the Forums! I hope you'll stick around!

If you are talking the large size of the print You could do it with a large screen if you did not print over the seams (so, a smaller image then you showed). You would also want the shirt was streched tight on a matching size platon (or shirt board). The size you showed would need a belt printer like pwapparel said.

If you are talking about getting a drawing on to a screen, you will need to burn it on a screen coated with photo emulsion.

Either way I would only use one screen and one color if you are new to screening. Build your confidence with baby-step experience rather then get discouraged by a tougher project.

Good luck. You have a toughy there if this is your first.

You can draw the image, scan it into your computer and then vectorize it. You can draw the image within an art program as a vector. You can draw the image in the size you want printed and scan it into the computer as a high resolution raster file.

You can shop for dragon vector art or look for free dragon vectors on the internet.

In the end it would pay to have some sort of drawing program like AI or Corel or the free Inkscape.

well im not a printer, i dont own one and i have no idea how one works.. what i meant was, im trying to start a clothing line but i want to put designs that i drew myself such as a skull or a dragon on it so it can look something like the shirt on the picture, is there a certain way to do this or could i just take the picture to the printer on regular paper??

You could take the picture but they would then have to adjust/redraw/separate colours etc onto a computer in order to make the screens, they would charge for this.

The best thing for you to do is, as stated in the post above, draw it yourself using a vector drawing program and then take it to the printer.

ok thanks, do you know how much that usually costs to have somebody adjust/redraw/separate it for me and print it in the shirts?? just an average!! thanks =]
