Glitter printing on textile is an exciting way to add sparkle and shine to any fabric. Whether it is a t-shirt, tote bag, or any other textile item, glitter printing can add a touch of glamour and make your design stand out. In this blog, we will discuss the process of glitter printing on textile, the mesh required, and the advantages of our product.
The Mesh Required
To do glitter printing on textile, you will need a mesh screen. The mesh size depends on the size of the glitter particles you plan to use. For example, if you are using fine glitter particles, a higher mesh count (between 230 and 305) is ideal. If you are using larger glitter particles, a lower mesh count (between 86 and 156) is ideal.
The Process
Here are the steps to follow when doing glitter printing on textile:
Step 1: Prepare your design – Create your design using software such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or any other design software.
Step 2: Print your design on a transparency – Print your design on a transparency using a laser printer.
Step 3: Prepare the mesh screen – Coat the mesh screen with a photo-emulsion and let it dry.
Step 4: Expose the screen – Place the transparency with your design on top of the screen and expose it to light. This will create a stencil of your design on the mesh screen.
Step 5: Apply the glitter – Apply the glitter onto the stencil using a squeegee. Ensure that the glitter covers the entire design.
Step 6: Cure the glitter – Cure the glitter by applying heat using a heat press or an oven. The temperature and time required to cure the glitter depend on the type of glitter and the fabric you are using.
Step 7: Remove the stencil – Once the glitter is cured, remove the stencil from the mesh screen.
Step 8: Clean the screen – Clean the mesh screen using a screen cleaner to remove any excess glitter.
