Expert: Alyn Date: 12/8/2004 Subject: How to find a screenprinter for full front of T shirt
Question I have a T shirt design that would be about 12" x 18" or a bit larger. I want to screenprint the whole front of a T shirt,including the hem area, get a sample, and then if it looks good, print up ... say 100 as a starter. Perhaps the T shirt could be printed and then assembled? I live in LA and have not been able to find a large format screenprinter. I would appreciate any help you can give. Phoebe
Answer all the printers i have worked with in my career have a maximum imprint area of 14 inches wide by 16 inches tll because of shirt palatte size. so i don't know anyone specific to help you. there is a pretty useful resource on the web where you may find a printer. go to http://www.usscreen.com look under forum, you may have to sign up to get a free account, i haven't been to the site for robably a year, but it is visited regularly by indutry professionals and i usually got answers to my posts fairly quickly. good luck
