How to perform PS design and production process for T-shirt printing

What is the PS design and production process for T-shirt printing?

1. First open the Photoshop software on your computer and choose to open it. You can also open it directly with ctrl o. Select a Dragon Ball anime picture, open it, and select another picture, which is a pure white T-shirt. There are still some unnecessary fonts in the lower right corner. At this time, we select the stain repair brush on the right toolbar to work. Just paint the area with the font in the lower right corner. You can select the quick move tool to transfer this picture to the T-shirt picture. But please note that the image mode of the T-shirt is grayscale mode. If you want a color image, convert it to the RGB mode below. However, there is no need to convert because you want a black and white effect. Freely transform the Dragon Ball picture using ctrl-t and pull it to a suitable size, then change the normal layer in the lower right corner to Multiply. At this time, the effect on the picture will appear. Create a new clipboard. I chose 600 for both length and width, but you can choose whatever you want, just don’t make it too small.

After creation, use the horizontal text mask tool to write "dragon ball", and then click OK. Then press Ctrl T to perform free transformation. First rotate the text to the appropriate position, and then bevel the text to present the shape you like.

3. Select the gradient tool again and design the text just now to have this effect.

4. Move the file to the T-shirt and you are done.

Select storage, and select JPEG as the format. Don’t select the wrong format, otherwise it won’t open. Just like that it's all done.

What knowledge do you need to learn about digital printing

Digital printing is a convenient and fast printing that does not require film or plate making. You need to learn the following knowledge:

To master the basic operations and skills of drawing software, including the two main software CORELDRAW-9 and ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. The use of these software includes the application of layers, masks, channels, filters, etc., as well as the use of text and path functions, and you also need to be familiar with the application of color correction tools. By learning these skills, you can independently complete tasks such as drawing, editing, and tie-back production.

It’s important to learn the differences between various fabrics and prints, as well as their pros and cons. Understanding that dyeing the same color with different fiber and tissue structures can produce completely different effects helps us find the most matching printing method. Therefore, we need to conduct in-depth research on various fabrics and prints to improve our technology and creativity in the design and production process.

3. Learn to control printing-related equipment, such as scanners, printers, plate presses, ironing machines, etc.

4. The principle of jet printing:

Continuous Ink Jet CIJ (continuous Ink Jet)

The principle of continuous jetting is to apply high-frequency oscillating pressure to the printing ink, so that the printing ink is ejected from the nozzle to form a uniform and continuous flow of droplets. There is an electric field at the nozzle that changes synchronously with the pattern photoelectric conversion signal.

The ejected droplets are selectively charged in the charging electric field. When the droplet flow continues to pass through the deflection electric field, the charged droplets are deflected under the action of the electric field, and the uncharged droplets continue to fly in a straight line.

The droplets flying in a straight line cannot reach the substrate to be printed and are recovered by the liquid collector. Charged droplets are sprayed onto the substrate to be printed.

Dro on Demand DOD(dro on Demand)

The working principle of the drop-on-demand jet printing system is that when printing is required, the system applies high-frequency mechanical force and electromagnetic thermal shock to the color ink in the nozzle, causing it to form tiny droplets and eject it from the nozzle. The computer controls the injection to the set pattern.

The most widely used drop-on-demand jet technology is thermal inkjet technology, which relies on thermal pulsation to generate ink droplets. A computer controls a heating resistance wire to a specified temperature, causing the ink to vaporize (mist) and then eject from the nozzle. .

Another DOD technology is the piezoelectric ejection system, which is controlled by a computer to impose a potential on the piezoelectric material, causing the piezoelectric material to compress in the direction of the electric field and expand in the vertical direction, thereby causing the ink to eject. .
