Thanks for the detailed tutorial! One thing you did leave out though is if you are using a thin fabric you want to put something between the front and back to prevent the ink from bleeding through.

Great stuff. I have a sign warehouse plotter and lots of vinyl and clear and paper transfer paper. I used to do a lot of glass etching but the trend has faded somewhat so we bought a t shirt heat press and moved on. Recently got into doing tie dyes and will use this process to do our brand logo on our shirts. Perfect solution and way easier than emulsion techniques, thanks a ton.

@DIYAlex

I would say that thinner coats of ink work better if the shirt is going to stretch. Eventually yes, the ink will likely crack but that's how any old shirt you buy at the store gets if you wear it long enough. So far I've had screen printed shirts last (washed often) well over a year and they look just as good as the day I printed them! So it's good stuff!

Nice😍😇
