Rugby training t shirts

PIC-0212

Originally uploaded by Lavarush

Deadline met! Took this pic of Agnes drying the printed rugby t shirts for Edgemead High School. The following step is to put them in the curing machine so that the ink is fused permanently with the fabric. This curing process prevents the ink from running or washing out.

The t shirts used were the KRTJ moisture management crew neck which are appropriate as they keep you cool and dry during heavy physical workouts.

CMYK Printing for fivefingers: by Lavaink

What in fact is CMYK printing you may ask? It is the process whereby pictures are formed by printing four colours namely C= Cyan (blue), M = Magenta ( Pinkish), Y=yellow and K= Black. As seen blow:

In the screen printing process these colours are separated from the image that needs printing and each becomes a positive for a screen:

These colours are then skillfully printed one on top of the other to form the full picture.

Lesson over!

Anyway, did a job for Vibram Fivefingers® in CMYK.

See Below:

Once again, excuse the ugly pics. Anyone has an old digital camera of 6 mega pixels or higher to chuck this way. Just kidding, I’m too lazy to recharge my batteries.

As a screen printer in Cape Town , I must say that we are happy to be getting our quota from our surrounding shorelines. No we do not catch fish! We have been getting work from the guys who do. Tuna Torque are the guys who will find you the “latest listings of new and used boats for sale. Ranging from sportsfish boat, cruisers, sailing boats, barges and even ships”.

The Job entailed a 13 colour print on the front as a pocket size as seen below:

The Back had to be the same but scaled up to fill the whole back as shown here:

Then we had to do 2 CMYK prints on either sleeve which came out stunning:

We ran about 2 days late, for the first time in history, but we had to make sure that these prints were flawless.

PS. Sorry for the poor quality pics (my Samsung black jack)

Global Buddies

How do you reach out to a troubled kid? Or a troubled family?

You go to them.

A food market in China. Homes in South Africa. And soon, coming to a shopping mall near you, the UCLA Family Coaching Clinics.

It’s all part of an effort by UCLA’s Global Center for Children and Families (GCCF), which is committed to helping families and children achieve the highest level of well-being possible. Not just physical heath, but mental health too. And not just local families, but global ones. READ MORE
Did some work for Global Buddies and their t shirts looked great, see the video below.
