Royal Screen Printing Tip of the Day #2:

1/7/2015

4 Comments

 
When ordering shirts the cheapest route is to buy light colored clothing. When screen printing, an extra layer of white goes underneath a design on darker colored garments which allows the colors to show. Without this extra under base the ink will not show up as well on darker colored clothing. The more colors in your design the more costly it will be, This under base will add one more color to your design.  

You can avoid using an under base by choosing some of the following options, this way you'll be able to access the most cost efficient route. Try shirts like:

white

ash gray 

sand

light blue

yellow haze

light pink

I never knew that lighter colored clothing was cheaper to print on over darker clothing. My son's soccer team wants to make practice shirts for this summer. I'm glad that the lighter clothing will be cheaper because it will also keep them cooler during practice. This really does work out great for everyone! Hopefully I can put them together soon.

Badge holders are useful for displaying ID cards and protecting them from getting lost and from wear and tear. Most organizations that require ID cards also require that these cards be worn on the individual's person in such a way that it is clearly visible.

Lighter colours are always best for custom printing. It shows all colors easily. Thanks for your suggestion.
