Screen Printing with Vinyl: Adding Foil 

Check out this project, this is how I like to add foil to paper bags: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/2023/06/how-to-add-deco-foil-to-paper-bags-with-screen-printing/

Oh- interesting idea! I’ll keep that in mind!

When you add the foil with your heat press, it cures the plastisol ink so I don’t you will be able to re-foil it.

@@pigskinsandpigtails ah right that makes sense. Is there anything you would suggest in this situation as it was a shirt I purchased so I don't have the screen to reprint it. Or would you consider the shirt ruined?

I haven’t tested the foil with standard plastisol ink, but I believe it will work as long as the ink is cured properly. Stretch ink was recommended to me and has worked great on all of my projects!

Thank you! My birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day so I love making designs like this!

I’m sure that would help! I’m too lazy to hand wash my shirts though 😆

I always choose screen printing because of the soft feel and I have better luck with screen printing lasting longer than HTV

I hope you do- the foil is so fun to work with!

This is the foil that I use: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/foil-for-screen-printing

When you are using a press, it’s generally helpful to have a some off contact. It’s especially helpful with the stretch ink because of the texture.
