JKL Clothing to publish a guide to t-shirt printing
JKL Clothing announces plans to publish a guide to t-shirt screen printing.
Over the coming weeks JKL Clothing will be publishing an in depth guide to screen printing onto t-shirts and other garments. To be published on the JKL Clothing website blog and the clothing blog, JKL Clothing aim to provide a detailed step by step guide on how to improve the quality of your screen printing resulting in a superior print and finish.
Among the aspects of screen printing that will be covered are, screen tension, choice of garment, squeegee pressure, drying and much more. Follow the guide, which will be published weekly and learn how to produce high quality prints time after time.
Whether you are an experienced screen printer or a novice trying screen printing for the first time, the many hints and tips are sure to provide you with the extra knowledge to allow you to improve the quality of your printing and steal a march on your competitors. Someone once said “knowledge is power”, well with the information that you will gain from the JKL Clothing t-shirt printing guide you are sure to increase your printing ability and set yourself out from the crowd.
So be sure to bookmark the JKL Clothing website and look out for the free guide published on the blog. It’s free, and who knows could be the difference between printing success and failure.
What are the variables that make up the quality of a screen printed t-shirt?
There are many important factors that go to make up how well a screen printed t-shirt will turn out once the finished garment leaves the production line.
In this article I am going to look at just a few of these variables and will be looking to complete the guide in articles that I publish over the next few weeks.
So, if you want to improve the quality of your t-shirt printing then follow this guide over the coming weeks and hopefully you will be able to pick up a few hints and tips that will create a garment screen printing process that leads to a printed t-shirt you can be proud of.
Screen tension – Screens need to be of the same tension as each other. This way you will get consistency across the whole print run. If you use one screen that has a very low tension it may lead to the ink been laid down unevenly and not providing good coverage. Your screens should therefore have sufficient tension and importantly, have the same tension as the other screens been used on that run.
Squeegee pressure and squeegee stroke time – The pressure on the squeegee should be constant throughout the stroke. This again will lead to an even coverage of ink onto the t-shirt. If the pressure is not consistent throughout the print run you will not get the same amount of ink applied to each t-shirt, this will lead to inconsistencies throughout the run. As with squeegee pressure, the time of the stroke must also be consistent in order to produce a consistent finished printed t-shirt.
Squeegee maintenance – Make sure that the squeegee blade is level and replaced when it loses its sharp edge. By ensuring your squeegee blade is fit for the job, you are again taking away a variable that can lead to a disappointing printing result.
These are my first 3 tips for increased success in t-shirt printing. If you are reading this article and thinking this is something that may be best left to a professional t-shirt printing company then why not visit JKL Clothing’s website at www.jklclothing.co.uk and allow us to show you how we can take your image or design and screen print it onto a garment of your choice.
Workwear. What are the legal requirements
At a time when every other advert on television is asking you if you had an accident and would you like to make a claim, what role does workwear have to play in employers discharging their responsibility in the workplace? The “where there’s blame there’s a claim” culture has certainly focused the minds of employers during recent times. Many companies now take workwear and PPE (personal protective equipment), such as hi vis clothing very seriously. They understand the importance of making sure all employees are as safe as possible in the workplace and this includes ensuring they are dressed appropriately for the tasks they are required to perform.
