Maybe there were some problems you met, or maybe you have some tips for other users in printing on t-shirts. What method of printing was used and what were the requirements? Have you other t-shirts made by you? Beside the t-shirts, do you have other experiences with Affinity and professional printing, and if so what you can say about it?

I love the waves on the wiggledy ocean!! Thanks. It's great to get the attaboys. Thanks again. Here's a summary of the process. Software: Affinity Designer (AD) Silhouette Studio Designer Edition (SS) Artifex Forge Mosaic Maker Online Studio to SVG converter Equipment and materials: Silhouette Cameo v3 Heat press Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) T-shirt I imported the boat image from the internet and traced it using Silhouette Studio. Saved it as a .studio file. I used an online service to save it as an SVG file (http://www.ideas-r-us-software.uk/FileConverters/SilhouetteStudioConverter.aspx). I cleaned up the SVG file in AD and created the border design using Artifex Mosaic Maker. Exported the design as PNG (SVG won’t work) and traced it in SS. Resized as needed and cut the HTV on the Cameo. Printed it onto the T=shirt. It’s a pity that AD doesn’t have a trace function, but not the end of the world. I'll post a few more of my t-shirts later. Adalbertus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
