T Shirt Design

[mercury]

Hi All,

Poss not correct catagory but not sure where else. Just wondering if any fashion designers/students couldhelp? I'm quite arty and enjoy designing my own prints for t shirts, thing is havent a clue about getting them printed. Would iron on transfers be the best route? Thanks

If you're only going to do a one-off for yourself, or half a dozen even, to give to friends, then yes, iron-on is the answer. The only problem is that you'll normally be limited to A4 size prints.
If you plan to go for a large quantity, contact a T-shirt printer to discuss rates.

Screen printing can be very expensive when done the 'professional' way but it's really cheap when done the way that most school art departments use. The technique is described here:
