Hi, I just moved to NYC and I want to start printing and selling tshirts. Much against everyones advice really I want to do this the hard way by not using heat transfer process. I have experience already in silk screening, and want to use the technique for printing on t shirts. Does anybody know a lab in NYC where I can get the screens exposed, or does anybody know how to do this from home?? Can I buy a lamp.. expose the screens in the sunlight..?
And does anyone know which paints/bases are best used (no matter the price) on fabics (i.e cotton)..?
The experience i've had with printing on tshirts so far has resulted in rapidly fading designs, and dried out paint.
It seems you all prefer heat transfer, but if anyone could help me on this one I'd be extremely grateful!!
Many thanks,
MAX
