Bulk Orders of a Silk Screen T-shirt are the Cheapest

Screen Printing
Clint Jhonson asked:


When you are buying cool t-shirts that are customized as per your tastes, you would like to get the best possible deal. The most excellent way to find the cheapest t shirt printing is to get quotes from various sellers from your locality as well as on the Net. A silk screen t-shirt purchased in bulk could be the cheapest option if you are looking for a huge order of the same design. So don’t settle for the first local printing shop that you come across. You would do well to do some research before you make a decision; it could help you save quite a bit.

If you employ the services of one of the online companies you will find that you will get quite a cheap rate for printing your cool t-shirts. These companies normally provide you with quotes that cover the cost of the t-shirts, design as well as the printing. Make a comparison of the quotes to ascertain which one will be the best bargain for you. Do bear in mind that the price per silk screen t-shirt will vary depending on your total order quantity. The price keeps coming down as the order quantity goes up.

In case of the silk screen t-shirt, you will find that the price normally goes up if you have more colors in your logo or design. But if you choose digital t-shirt printing, it doesn’t matter how many colors your design has at all. Also different t shirt printing companies will have different rates since each of them might use blank t shirts from different companies to print their cool t-shirts.

Also each t shirt printing company might have its own kind of machinery which can also have an impact on their printing charges. Even the cheapest t shirt printing company will have a set price so it would be best to compare them all before you place your order for cool t-shirts. For bulk orders you should opt for the silk screen t-shirt, it will really work out to be dirt cheap, the higher your order quantity is. And there will certainly be no compromise in the printing quality.

Instead of looking at the advances in digital t-shirt printing as a threat, screen printers should welcome it as an opportunity to serve customers in areas where they could not in the olden days. When a teenager walks in with a picture of his favorite rock band to be printed on a t-shirt, he would be refused in the past. But today, they can provide him cool t-shirts by using digital printing and if they have extra sophisticated machinery, even on a black t-shirt since it is not worthwhile to make a silk screen t-shirt for a single order.

So instead of being afraid that the advances in digital technology may put them out of the screen printing business, they should take advantage of what the new digital technologies have to offer them where expanding their business is concerned letting them serve their customers better with newer kinds of products in cool t-shirts. It will be a very long time before we find that a digital prints on a bulk order of t-shirts will end up cheaper and more durable as compared to a silk screen t-shirt.

Rules of Color in Print Design

Screen Printing
Kaye Z. Marks asked:


Color can make or break an advertisement, whether in a newspaper ad, postcard, or other form of printed marketing tools. However, too much color tends to overwhelm your message, while too little will not be able to capture enough attention. Choosing the wrong color scheme can hide or disrupt the flow of your message and style. Another thing that must be remembered is that a certain color on a computer screen may appear differently than if it is printed on a commercial printer.

You can avoid these common color flaws by following the rules below.

The Right Amount

Many designs have two or four color schemes. Smaller layouts such as for business card or postcard printing need to use only two colors while larger designs such as brochures can allow for four colors. Make sure to use white space so as not to overdo your color scheme. In addition, you have to organize the shades. For instance, use a white background, black fonts, a red header box background, and a blue tips box background.

The Right Shade

having to choose between two or four colors and deciding what color combination to use can be quite challenging. The perfect combination of colors should help you to guide your readers to the most important aspects of your layout first. Among all the other colors, black and red capture the most attention, effortlessly. On the other hand, blue and yellow are more subtle colors. Each of these colors may produce different results when combined with other shades.

Play around with the palette of your project until the most important information stands out the most. Additionally, keep in mind that your message and style needs to be coordinated with the right colors. Use the following right colors - orange for fun, green for growth, and yellow for happiness. Make sure that you take consideration of these things. Remember that every color has a meaning in psychological terms. Know what kind of impact each color brings to the people. Know which color would draw more attention according to your target market's point of view.

The Right Appearance

The default color scheme on a computer is RGB because these colors (red, green, and blue) are the primary colours of light. Since a computer screen operates with light, colors appear more vivid on the monitor with RGB. The problem occurs in the printing – the transfer of it from computer screen to paper, which is why color printing companies tend to use CMYK rather than RGB scheme. Cyan, magenta, and yellow (with black thrown in for a darker black) are the primary colors of ink; therefore, printed images appear more vivid and smooth. Your design program should have the option to choose colors from the CMYK scheme. Just remember that your proof printed on paper will appear differently than on the screen.

So with these tips in mind, you can get to work and create that perfect print out and use color to make your print design stand out from the rest and capture the most attention from your target markets.
