If i had to do it it would be five screens. three for the top and two for the bottom.if that grass isnt the exact same on the other side, make that 7 screens. I never printed on the seem on the bottom like that. Would be a very interesting job to say the least.
Yup, 5 total screens, 2 different prints in order to do multiple sizes. I'd modify the platten for the bottom print, tack down a piece of polytag or something similar with an open area at the bottom. Bring the hem to of the shirt to the edge of the polytag, and it'll be virtually flat, making registration and printing pretty easy over the bottom hem. Done that before, simple, cheap, effective fix.
wouldn't it look stupid though if the grass was just as wide as the platen and not from seam to seam on the front of the shirt, or if it didn't go all the way around the shirt, if indeed it is supposed to?
Yeah, that would be sort of an issue, depending on size range. If the shirts have no side seams, you could make it (platten and print) slightly wider than the shirts width so it stretches a little further than the front, then overprint on the back. Looks like a repeating pattern, so an overlap wouldn't look too stupid and would be placed near the sides, so less visible. Print the back first so you don't see the overlap on front.
Good point, the ones I've done before over the bottom seam were not continuous all the way around.
