I've dealt with one roadblock after another trying to get my shop up and running again. This is the first screen I've been able to expose with my new ghetto exposure setup. Now I just need shirts to print on.
New bike design
The screen is taped up and ready for the ink.
The first test print on a spare gray American Aparel t shirt left over from another job. I'm going to print this on a "natural" colored t shirt. Natural is kind of an off-white color.
I'm glad ya'll like it. It kind of reminds me of the New Belgium logo. The blank shirts should be here by mid week. I'll start printing the day they arrive. Meligrosa-I'll look into some v cut shirts. Most likely Alternative Apparel.
Ian-I printed the Bernard Hinault design for a time but ended up having problems with the screen so I retired it. I might make a new screen and do a another run.
I started this blog a couple of years ago when I used to print and sell t shirts with bike related designs. The name of my blog was the name of my business, Rat Trap Press. Rat Trap, referred to the old style road pedals, and Press of course referred to my screen printing press. Due to some sudden unexpected expenses I had to sell my screen printing equipment. I decided to stick with the name, RTP, and continue writing about my relaxed paced adventures around Fort Worth, Texas. Please take some time to say hello.
that is looking pretty rad!
ReplyDeleteare you planning on making any low-V cuts in women sizes?... or custom for that matter.

I love that design. Let me know when they are available.
