Great video. I would recommend using the “dark media” raster for this dark green T-shirt. With this option you will make the design even softer, durable and washable 👍
The "rasterized" side has a vintage look (kind of), like images in old newspapers. The plain side looks less attractive, it looks (from my computer screen) like a sticker that could be removed, or wrinkled for sure. Nice close-ups at the end ! You're looking more and more fluid in front of the camera :-)
thank you and yes I agree, the rasterised has a nice vintage look to it. Thank you I appreciate that but I don't feel any more confident in front of the camera, but hopefully as I learn more the videos will get better
Hi, Thank you for this, great video. I'm really curious how you converted that image to a "rasterized" image? I've ben searching high and low and mucking around Photoshop but but there is no easy way to convert an image. The folks from forever laser even have an action script for Photoshop but that only does Black and White. Would love to know how you created the rasterized version.
Hi and thanks for your kind comments, i rasterize all my images in the forever rip software that comes with the printer, unfortunately it’s the only way I’ve ever done it so I can’t really advise on how to do it in photoshop, my apologies Thanks for watching and I hope to upload more this year
if its for a one off wear t shirt like stag dos id just print it full, if its a photo on a garment thats going to be worn a lot I would print it using a different print system
to be fair the large full images without rasterisation don't last long using white toner, the rasterised does last longer but you do lose a lot of the vibrant colours, I think for longevity DTG or screen printing is better, I do find if art work has a lot of negative space and isn't full of solid colour then the white toner can last a long time.hope that helps
did you have to put anything in the t shirt after pressing the front? Will the front of the shirt get damage from the heat while pressing the back of the shirt ?
You can put a piece of protection paper in the shirt if you want to but no I don’t and it’s never affected the other print, or alternatively you can thread the shirt onto the platten if your machine allows.
There must be a way to address the issue of an image losing its vibrancy of color after rasterizing. Rasterizing works fine on black garments because, yes, you can knockout the black of an image but as an example, im wantinng to use garment that is a shade of red, the image im using is a photographic image and the colors look dull, washed out or the image looks kind of blurry once rasterized. So far, all the info Ive found regarding this involves getting good results using a black shirt but Im not using a black shirt. Anybody got any other resources or is this simply a limitation that this printing process has?
Hi Mad Media thats a great question and unfortunately I think there is a very quick and simple answer and that is its a limitation of that process and unfortunately somewhat for now we have to put up with and accept
@@MakingTEES There is a color boost feature specifically for rasterizing. You can get that in the Digital Factory Software that can come with the printer. The color boost feature will bring the image back to life. For sure.
