The Important of Using Black Ink in T Shirt Printing.

To begin with, some of inks might be useful for t shirt printing. But in this case, black ink has its own benefits and it is used widely in t shirt printing. Of course, in t shirt printing comes from CMYK color model. The "black" generated by mixing commercially practical cyan, magenta and yellow inks which it is unsatisfactory. Therefore, four-color printing uses black ink in addition to the subtractive primaries. There are the benefits for using the black inks in T shirt printing.

In fact, in traditional preparation of color separations, a red key line on the black line art marked the outline of solid or tint color areas. However, in some cases a black key line was used when it served as both a color indicator and an outline to be printed in black. This is because, when the black plate contained the key line, the K in CMYK represents the key line or black plate, also sometimes called the key plate. So, it makes the work easy for the design printing on the t shirt.

As we are well aware that the text is typically printed in black and it includes fine detail such as serifs. Thus, to reproduce text or other finely detailed outlines, without slight blurring, using three inks would require impractically accurate registration. This is the reason black ink is important as it can serve the accuracy for font printed on t shirt.

A combination of 100% cyan, magenta, and yellow inks soaks the paper with ink, making it slower to dry, causing bleeding, or (especially on cheap paper such as newsprint) weakening the paper so much that it tears. So by having black ink will eventually “balance” the other inks so that it will not causing the bleeding because of slower dry.

Indeed, a combination of 100% cyan, magenta, and yellow inks should, in theory, completely absorb the entire visible spectrum of light and produce a perfect black. These practical inks fall short of their ideal characteristics and the result is actually a dark muddy color that does not quite appear black. Thus, by adding black ink actually absorbs more light and yields much better blacks.

Last but not least, by using black ink is less expensive than using the corresponding amounts of colored inks. This is a fact that everyone knows in the world of printing be it the paper printing, textile printing or t shirt printing.
