I don't often get asked to produce 'oversized' t-shirt prints and when I have, I've just turned the work down!!

So, a few weeks ago I decided to get all the ingredients to build a larger platen and these have been cluttering our hall since then!

Yesterday I was asked if I could print 20 shirts with oversized prints and decided to take it on. The downside for us is that we can only print 1 shirt per printer pass instead of 3, so production is slower :( Anyway, today we printed all 20 shirts and here's the first off the press - modelled by Angie :)

I'm quite pleased how it turned out and we can go quite a bit larger :)

Cheers

John

I second that - outstanding John, what size is that design? (just curious on the new print area you have now).

Oh, are they for a band/group?

Thanks for the comments :redface:

Oversized printing has been something on the back burner for quite a while but, as with everything, it all takes time but when you get an order for 20 shirts it sorta galvanises you into action!!

The platen I 'constructed' yesterday will allow me to print upto 24" x 15.75" - that should be big enough for most t-shirt printing. The NeoFlex will allow printing upto
[FONT="Calibri]17" x 42” or 43 x 106cms if I build an even larger platen.

If I get time today, I'm going to try a framed canvas for the first time :)

Cheers

Nice work John. Good luck with the canvas.
Here is a t-shirt I printed on my Neo just before Christmas. Standard A3 size.
