How to Iron a Screen Printed T-Shirt Design

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Mark Kneeskern with Expert Village and in this clip I'm going to show you how to iron your screen printed shirt. You want to lay the shirt with the screen printed side down onto another smooth surface, such as another T-shirt. You'll want to set it on a fairly hot setting because this sets the ink and allows it to be very permanent so it won't wash out later. And you got to make sure you iron it from the back. Don't iron right on the design. Iron the whole shirt if you're going to put it on display, or if you want it to appear really nice. Just iron the whole thing, make it look really great. And make sure the surface that you're ironing on is absolutely flat because you don't want to wrinkle your design. That could actually be permanent. And once you're done with this, give your shirt out as gifts or donate it to a cause, keep one for yourself. And make sure you take a photo for your design record. And that is how you iron and complete your screen printed shirt."
