Putting Your Digital Photo on a T Shirt!

Everyone knows you can go to the store and buy clothes whenever you want, but more and more people are finding it just as easy to make their own digital photo printing on t shirt. It’s not completely all simplicity but it is rather easy to do if you know what you are doing.

Digital Photo Printing on T Shirt is a process you can do with most inkjet printers using an iron-on transfer. Printer companies including Lexmark, Epson, Canon and Hewlett Packard can print to the special coated paper you need that allows you to put whatever design or photo you choose on a variety of fabrics, not just cotton.

You can find all the necessary tools to do your own digital photo printing on t shirt at most local stores such as Wal-Mart or Target, etc. You will need a transfer paper and while there are many kinds of these, expensive and cheap, the kind you buy is completely up to you. Whatever you think will work best.

When choosing your shirt, you want to be sure it is clean and wrinkle free so that the photo comes out clean and smooth with no lines or dirty smudges. Cotton and poly/cotton blend are the best materials to use for this, but you can use whatever fabric you choose.

Now after you have everything ready, you have to get your image that you want to put on the shirt ready. If you want to adjust or alter your picture before putting it on the t shirt, do so now and get it ready to print out. The main key you want to remember about this part is you must mirror the image before printing it or your image will be reversed on the t shirt!

When you are ready to finish your digital photo printing on t shirt and have your image printed out you want to apply the image face down on the shirt of your choice. You can either simply press it or use your iron with no steam or moisture. Be sure you are using a solid surface to transfer your digital photo printing on t shirt. You will want to check what paper you used to print the image with to know how long you need to hold the iron on the shirt.

Digital photo printing on a t shirt leaves a smooth print surface on your shirt. You cannot feel the image on the inside of your shirt and the ink does not go through.

The advantages of doing your own digital photo printing on t shirt are being able to choose whatever photos or pictures you want, no worrying about if they are ‘acceptable’, etc. and most of all, it doesn’t cost you a penny!
