T-shirt design
Each year, TAGA students create original t-shirt graphics that represent the chapter’s spirit and identity. The t-shirt serves as both a branding element for our conference presence and a celebration of our chapter’s creativity.
This year we prepared our logo of the circus Containing The RIT Tiger head on a white tshirt. The procedures are well illustarted below.
Step 1: Artwork Design & film output
Creation of the design and perform separation of each color. Then, printed each separation as a solid black image on transparent film to use as the stencil for screen exposure.
Step 2: Screen Selection & Preparation
We choose the correct mesh count for the design and ink type, then thoroughly degreasing the screen to remove oils and residue. Later, coated screen and then left to dry completely in a dark, dust‑free environment so it’s ready for exposure.
Step 3: Wash Out Screen After Exposure
Involves rinsing the exposed screen with water to remove the softened emulsion in the image areas. As the screen is washed, the design opens up clearly, leaving clean sections where ink will pass through during printing.
Step 4: Taping and Screen Setup
This step involves taping the edges of the screen to block any open mesh and prevent ink from leaking outside the image area
Step 5: Laying down the screen for black
Step 6: Laying down the screen for Red
Step 7: Running the print station
