Printing on black shirts

Post by Jacob »

Hey all,
Just getting ready to print my first job, and had a few questions. 1. I have a fairly large (chest sized design) that I'll be printing in grey on black t-shirts, and I read on here somewhere that printing on dark color fabric it can be hard to get your image to show up. 2. I have a 110 mesh and I saw in another post that that might not be the best mesh for printing on shirts, which sucks because we've already had our screen exposed at a screen printing store for 50 bucks. Any advice at all is appreciated! Thanks for your time!

110 for grey on darks will be just fine.

Are you going to flash?

I knew I was leaving something out. I'm using water based ink. I know flash has something to do with drying the ink, but I'm not really familiar with any of the process as I'm just starting. Thanks for your reply Rob!
