Print on Tshirts using Tshirt Transfer Paper

Pratik — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 15:27:04 +0000

A special tshirt transfer paper allows you to transfer your images (printed using an ink jet printer) onto, white or light coloured tshirt. Below are the steps and important notes for printing on tshirts using a transfer paper.

Please see that the image you want to print is of good quality and not blurred. Printing is done in mirror mode onto the white, unprinted side of the transfer paper. In many printers there is an option for Transfer Paper Mode, if its not available in your printer use the Normal Paper Mode but use Best Quality Printing. I would suggest to allow the printout to dry for about 30 minutes before continuing.

Set your iron to the highest setting and pre-heat.

Cut out the image with approx. 5 mm space and place the paper with image side face down on the tshirt fabric which should be wrinkle free and pre-ironed.

Place a smooth cloth (2-3 kitchen towels) between the tshirt and the solid surface such as a table top.

Iron the image by applying consistent circular pressure distributing the heat evenly.

Concentrate on using the centre of the Iron during transfer. Apply heat for 60 to 90 seconds for a small print and about 90 to 120 seconds for a larger print.

Let the transfer paper cool and peel off the interleaving paper from one of the corners using firm and steady pressure.

A heat press can also be used. Set the temperature to 160 degree and press for approx. 40 seconds. I have not tried this with a heat press yet.

Here is the tshirt which I did using the method.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Logo

Pratik — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 20:03:35 +0000

Today is a great day for all Indian Cricket lovers. After 28 years of waiting India has finally bought back the World Cup home. Nothing could have been a more pleasing win for this team. Beating the current defenders and world campaign Australia in the quater-finals, heading towards the semis and beating Pakistan and then finally defeating Sri-Lanka in the finals.

With this World Cup coming to its end, ICC has unveiled the logo for the 2015 Cricket World Cup which is to be held in Australia and New Zealand. The logo is designed by the Jumbana Group/Balarinji, a graphic consultancy from Australia, which was commissioned by FutureBrand, an international agency. Even the logo for ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 was designed by a creative firm from Australia.

The ICC received applications for the design from across the world before awarding it to the international agency, FutureBrand, whose Australian arm was invited to produce the logo for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. It in turn commissioned graphic consultancy, the Jumbana Group/Balarinji to create both Australian and New Zealand cultural motifs so as to reflect the two indigenous countries’ cultural identities.

The consultancies were asked to convey the cultures of both countries in a positive and harmonious way and also to expresses a feeling of celebration and unity in the graphics. The result has been what ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat describes as “a dynamic logo which captures the cultural influences in the two host countries”.

More images for the logo and motifs coming soon.
