How to Register a T-Shirt Design for Screen Printing

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Mark Kneeskem on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you how to make registration marks for screen printing. Get two sheets of newspaper, exactly the same size, corresponding to the size of the screen that you're using. So you line them up and make holes in all four corners. And so, punch holes through both sheets of newspaper at the same time after you line them up and make them decent size holes so you can find them later. Think about how your design is going to overlap so you can line up the different elements in the design such as image and text and mark the corners of the screen itself so you can get it placed exactly where you had it during the first print when you're going the second print. Just watch, be careful about seams and pockets and buttons because they'll get in your way. And that is how you make registration marks for screen printing."
