color photo can be printed on t-shirts?
I don't know if this is the best place to ask this question but I hope that there are enough users here with t-shirt printing experience.
I created a realistic work of photo for printing labels for a customer as a requirement of style. Now they also want this work longer printing on t-shirts and told me they will give him to another designer to vectorize it for this purpose. Technically, the work can be considered a color photo of landscape with a group of people at the front. I'm worried, how the image will look like after this, but from what I've seen impressions t-shirt are for the most part, with some dull colors or rulings art works. I think these are limits and I can't imagine how the work can look at something close to it. I don't have a lot of experience t-shirt but I understand vector vs raster and I don't know if my client knows what they are doing and wonder what you would do if you're in my situation.
I would greatly appreciate your advice
[a] color photo can be printed on t-shirts?
Of course, it can. You can even order have made it one-off measures, online. On clear or dark substrates. Without even properly prepare the image, or even have an idea on how to do it. (My wife does all the time for gifts and arts mechanical and such.)
.. .a photo realistic illustrations for printing labels for a customer. Now they also want this work longer printing on t-shirts and told me they will give him to another designer to vectorize it for this purpose... I don't have a lot of experience t-shirt but I understand vector vs raster...
They [the customer]? and maybe even the other designer, do not know what they are talkking about. Contrary to widespread belief, work doesn't have to be "vectorized" in order to print on clothes, more that there must be vector illustrations in order to print on paper. Just like printing on paper, the work must be:
- .. .the sufficient resolution for the size in which it will be printed.
- ... color separable, appropriately for the used printing method.
People talking about garment printing often confuse the concept of 'vector and raster' with "line from continuous tone art." Work of Contone must be 'your projected' (not talking print here) in order to print using color quadri (printing a small number of "primary" colors in a sort of model to simulate other colors).
Contone work tone control must be done in printing, textile, everything as it should be done in the offset printing on paper. This is true regardless of what printing process is used for printing textiles. For printing directly on the fabric, the work must be the halftone color separation points (or other shapes), or stochastic points or bosses. The same should be done if textile printing is by heat transfer (the transfer must be color separation) or any other method of marking.
Again, this has nothing to do with the work to be vector or pre-rasterized. It has to do with its continuous tone. You said that the work is "photo realistic". Yet whether vector work; It suggests only that we work continuous tone.
Technically, the work can be considered a color photo of landscape with a group of people at the front.
Technically, it's a description quite ambiguous. A picture of a landscape with people? Photo of a landscape color stacked behind some vector drawings of people?
.. .to go from what I've seen t-shirt prints are for most works with some dull colors or line art screens.
Then, you need to get out more. Today, you can easily find that t-shirts printed with images of contone printed in a variety of print and the tone of screening methods.
I think these are limits and I can't imagine how the work can look at something close to it.
Each printing method has limits. In general, people assume T-shirt silkscreen prints (as in screen printing, printing, but the screens are not silk these days). Screen printing requires generally relatively course tone control (either points of halftones, halftone lines and diffusion dither, dashed), compared to offset printing. And Yes, this is a limitation for offset printing. But it is also one of the reasons why the "requirement" of vector artwork is a myth. A requirement of vector artwork isn't all about resolution independence, contone compared to the line drawings. And the resolution is generally not a problem to print on a T-shirt, something originally designed for offset printing because the resolution requirements are relatively modest.
Each printing method also has its own advantages. One of the advantages of screen printing is that its use of the printing process is not necessarily limited to only four inks. Another is that the screen printing inks can be opaque; You can actually highlights made impression on top of tones and semitones. That is why it is very bright and very saturated coloring can be done in silkscreen using technical dotted Posterization or taking the place of classic AM or FM your screening. And that is why the best screen printing very frequently creative use these methods instead of regular halftone screening.
.. .wonder what you would do if you're in my situation...
If you are looking for advice here, I would like to show a screenshot of the work. As almost always in this forum (or any other like him), best advice very much depends on the nature of the particular work.
If it was me and my work, I ask the customer which is the company printing the packages he has in mind and then find out if its capabilities to respond to the work and the results expected. If it is not, I would recommend a suitable textile printing company and I would be optimal the work so that he makes me (and charge accordingly).

Canon MB2320 won't print color photos
We have recently installed a printer Canon MB2320. We use it for our printing needs, including the creation of brochures. In general, the pamphlets are created in Powerpoint and will include the text color and image .jpg and .bmp files. In printing, the color of text and elements (blocks or drawings) prints fine, but images may not print. I tried simply print a picture file, a Powerpoint page with a .jpg and .bmp side by side on the page (to see if the file type makes a difference) and also a Word document with a .jpg file inserted. In all cases, the printer behaves normally (spit an impression without errors) but all the image data seems to be ignored. I can, however, print these same files in grayscale and printing photos, but obviously not in color. All the "print previews" indicates color or grayscale according to what I have chosen. I sent the same files to three different computers (all networked).
As far as I know, I went on every setting that I can think of and everything seems in order. The color ink levels are lower than black but will not give me any warnings yet. Any help on this is greatly appreciated
Thank you

Color printing of T-Shirts questions
Printing logos on a black t-shirt - logo is red, but fate orange when finally printed on the shirt.
Any ideas if theres a particular red I can take this orange tint
My apologies if this is a stupid question but I am really struggling
Hi Houdidontblog,
This problem may be caused by "out of gamut" visualization, usually caused by the oversaturation of color. Try to print in "Relative Colorimetry" as the easy solution. If this does not work, try lowering the saturation levels.
Thank you

Satellite C650D - I can print photos, but can not print text
I have the Satellite C650D I can print photos on my printer but cannot print text.
How can I fix?
To be honest I don't think that is the related issue of Toshiba and you should check with the manufacturer of the printer. They should help you with these questions.
We do not know what printer you have and what you're doing exactly, but if the printer is installed, recognized and correctly connected everything should be OK, especially if you use Office Word and you want to print a document.
Sorry, but after reading your problem description one sentence, it is not possible to say anything that will help you.
Contact the manufacturer of the printer s technical support and try to clarify this. -

Help, please!
Can someone tell me if I can continue to print black and white if the color cartridge is empty. The product name is HP Officejet L7680.
Thank you
Hello and welcome to the community of HP @naristot,
I understand that you would like to know if you can continue printing in black ink, if one of the color toner is empty. I'll be happy to help you.
This printer was designed to function as a system of four cartridges, so you must have all four available ink cartridges in order to be able to print.

Hello
1. What is the brand and model of the printer?
2. have there been recent changes to the computer before the show?
First of all, make sure that the color cartridge/toner is not empty or blocked.
I suggest to adjust the color settings in the printing preferences and check if it helps.

CP1525NW Laser Printer: can I print on photo laser paper twice or print on commerical photo
My CP1525NW printer prints photos 4 x 6 (HP Laser photo paper) with a white border. If I want the photo without border, I'll print the image at Walgreens or another local store. I wonder if I can print on a photo I already printed on my printer or a photo of the store (which also used a thermal process)?
Feel like this should be no problem, if you have the printed photo, it must be a question only to ensure that the photo is placed in the status bar correctly before printing.
I'm sorry, but in this case printing without margins doesn't seem to have this feature on this model of printer. I apologize for the inconvenience.
