T-shirt yang berjalur memberikan penampilan yang menarik kepada si pemakai serta mempunyai sedikit regangan yang membuatkan fabrik ini selesa. Namun begitu dalam bidang percetakan pakaian, fabrik jenis ini mampu memberikan masalah kepada orang yang bertanggungjawab mengendalikannya. Ketika mencetak, ink akan dicetak dibahagian atas sahaja. Ia tidak menyerap ke semua bahagian, jadi apabila dipakai atau diregangkan, warna akan menjadi tidak sekata serta boleh membuatkan warna cetakan mengelupas.

Untuk mendapatkan fabrik yang seesuai untuk semua jenis cetakan adalah mustahil. Seperti juga manusia, setiap jenis fabric ini mempunyai kelebihan serta kelemahan masing-masing. Sebagai contoh, untuk teknik DTG, cotton 100% lebih sesuai digunakan bukannya polister. Tetapi untuk teknik screen printing, tiada masalah untuk menggunakan fabrik polister. Jadi, anda perlulah mengetahui serba sedikit tentang jenis-jenis fabrik agar hasil cetakan dapat memuaskan hati semua pihak.

Akhir sekali, anda harus ingat, hasil bagi warna yang dicetak mungkin sedikit berbeza darpada apa yang anda lihat di skrin komputer. Terdapat pelbagai faktor yang mempengaruhi hasil akhir warna cetakan produk.

PERBEZAAN ANTARA REGULAR DAN RING SPUN COTTON YANG PERLU ANDA TAHU

PERBEZAAN ANTARA REGULAR DAN RING SPUN COTTON YANG PERLU ANDA TAHU

Dalam industri pembuatan pakaian seperti t-shirt, kita sering kali mendengar tentang pakaian kapas. Tetapi tahukah anda? Sebenarnya, kain kapas ini juga terdiri daripada beberapa jenis. Yang kita akan bincangkan hari ini adalah mengenai regular dan ring spun cotton.

Proses penghasilan kedua-dua jenis kain kapas ini juga berbeza. Kapas biasa diperbuat daripada serat sayur-sayuran yang kemudian dipintal untuk membuat benang. Ia kemudian ditenun bagi menghasilkan fabric. Kebanyakan kilang pakaian menghasilkan kain jenis kapas biasa ini. Kapas biasa ini juga murahuntuk dihasilkan jadi marketnya juga lebih besar.

Ring spun cotton pula sangat berbeza. Ring spun cotton dibuat dengan cara memusing dan menipiskan lembaran kapas. Ini bagi memastikan gentian kapas tersebut menjadi sangat halus, kuat dan juga lembut. Hasilnya, fabric jenis ini tahan lebih lama berbanding fabric kapas yang lain. Tetapi, ia menjadikannya lebih mahal juga.

Sebenarnya, tiada perbezaan yang ketara pun antara dua jenis fabrik kapas ini. Cuma, jika anda ingin mencetak t-shirt dengan kaedah Direct to Garment atau DTG, ring spun cotton akan memberikan hasil cetakan yang lebih menarik.

Satu lagi fakta menarik  mengenai fabrik cotton ini adalah, walaupun nama atau labelnya serupa diseluruh dunia, namun daripada fabric untuk diimport juga akan memberikan kesan terhadap cetakan. Ini kerana setiap fabric itu mempunyai sedikit kelainan walaupun pada pandangan kasar ia kelihatan serupa. Fabrik yang di datangkan dari Bangladesh mungkin berbeza daripda fabric yang diimport dari China.

Apa-apa pun, fabrik cotton merupakan salah satu fabric yang mendapat tempat istimewa di negara kita. Ini kerana materialnya yang selesa sesuai dengan cuaca Malaysia yang agak panas. Sebagai pengguna mahupun peniaga, pengetahuan mengenai fabric memberi kelebihan kepada anda dalam memilih fabric yang bersesuaian untuk setiap cetakan mahu pun sulaman.

PANDUAN UNTUK MEMILIH FABRIK TERBAIK BAGI TEKNIK DTG

PANDUAN UNTUK MEMILIH FABRIK TERBAIK BAGI TEKNIK DTG

Seperti juga teknik cetakan t-shirt yang lain, DTG juga memerlukan fabrik dengan ciri-ciri tertentu bagi menjamin kualiti cetakan. Tidak semua fabrik sesuai menggunakan teknik DTG dalam percetakan. Disini kami ingin memberikan beberapa tips kepada andaa dalam memilih fabric bagi mendapatkan hasil cetakan DTG yang menarik dan berkualiti.

Untuk teknik DTG, kapas merupakan fabrik terbaik untuk mendapatkan hasil berkualiti yang diidamkan. Sebaiknya gunakan 100% cotton. Tetapi sekiranya anda tidak mempunyai fabrik 100% cotton yang bersesuai, anda boleh gunakan 80/20 (80% cotton / 20% polister). Seboleh-bolehnya, elakkan daripada menggunakan 50/50 cotton dan polister. Ini kerana dakwat yang digunakan teknik DTG tidak dapat diserap dengan baik oleh fabrik polister. Jadi hasilnya mungkin akan kelihatan comot.

Untuk kain jenis cotton ini juga, ia terbahagi kepada beberapa jenis. Untuk cetakan DTG anda disarankan untuk menggunakan ring spun cotton. Ia akan memberikan hasil yang memuaskan berbanding dengan kain standard cotton yang biasa. Ini kerana ring spun cotton lebih halus dan lembut berbanding standard cotton. Fabrik ring spun cotton yang mempunyai tenunan yang lebih halus dan lembut lebih sesuai untuk dakwat pencetak DTG yang berasaskan water based.

Seterusnya, anda perlu berhati-hati dengan kain yang mempunyai tekstur berjalur atau bercorak. Ini disebabkan faktor regangan yang dimiliki. Regangan akan menyebabkan ink kelihatan seperti mengelupas dan imej kelihatan seperti pecah atau retak. Senang cerita cetakan tidak cantik. Selain itu vertical lines dapat dilihat melalui imej yang di cetak. Jadi anda perlu mencetak sekurang-kurangnya 2-4 lapisan dakwat untuk mengelakkan vertical lines itu terlalu jelas.

Kain denim juga sesuai untuk cetakan DTG. Sama seperti ring spun cotton, denim juga mempunyai tekstur yang halus dan lembut. Ini menjadikan hasil cetakan lebih berkualiti. Cuma, untuk mencetak, anda perlu menjauhi bahagian yang mempunyai butang, zip dan juga permukaan yang tidak begitu rata.

Dalam cetakan DTG, pemilihan kain amat penting untuk memberikan hasil cetakan yang terbaik. Jadi anda haruslah bijak dalam memilih jenis kain yang bersesuaian. Salah memilih mungkin akan membuatkan hasil cetakan anda itu kelihatan comot dan selekeh. Jadi diharap perkongsian yang tidak seberapa ini akan membantu anda untuk mendapatkan hasil cetakan yang berkualiti tinggi.

Malaysia has such a warm weather. It could be hot and it could be cold. So, in this situation, materials for daily wear is important as it could make us, the wearer to be in comfortable. Thus, cotton is considered the most suitable material to make daily wear especially the t shirt. To begin with, of course cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fibre that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the family of Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. That is the reason why it is suitable for people who lives in the warm weather like Malaysia.

Of course, there are the history behind the cotton manufacturing. The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric times; fragments of cotton fabric dated from 5000 BC have been excavated in Mexico and the Indus Valley Civilization in Indian subcontinent between 6000 BC and 5000 BC. Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today.

Indeed, the cotton itself has many benefits. Cotton fibre can be woven or knitted into fabrics such as velvet, corduroy, chambray, velour, jersey and flannel.  In addition to textile products like underwear, socks and t-shirts, cotton is also used in fishnets, coffee filters, book binding and archival paper.  Cotton is a food AND a fibre crop.  Cotton seed is fed to cattle and crushed to make oil.  This cottonseed oil is used for cooking and in products like soap, margarine, emulsifiers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber and plastics.

The uses of cotton as t shirt material is that it can be a good sweat absorber. Whenever the wearer becomes sweat or perspired, the cotton material will absorb the sweat and allow the wind to cool down the wearer’s body. This will avoid the wearer from feeling hot and avoid from getting heat stroke especially in the drought season in Malaysia. That is why, the cotton material always be the first choice in the t shirt industry.

Other than that, since Malaysia is a country with warm climate, it is suitable to grow the cotton plant in here. Thus, despite of its rapid growth, the cotton is easy available and the labour or the cost is cheap compared to the other material. Of course, with its high demand from the customer, that is the reason why the t shirt manufacturer will choose the cotton as their first choice to produce a lot of t shirts.

Traditional tools to promote your business !

Actually, by not depending on those modern gadgets, the traditional tools also play the importance roles in expanding the business and help you as the business people in many ways. Of course, they transcend through time and that is why they are important in business world.

One of them, is known as radio. There are three types of radio: traditional AM/FM, internet and satellite. Many PR professionals still consider traditional AM/FM and satellite radio interviews to be of the highest value when it comes to brand building. One reason is that the barrier to entry is significantly higher (Busy producers, who are pitched potential guests all day long, say yes only to interviewees who meet a certain level of professional achievement or expertise).

Other than that, nowadays in every house, we could see at least one house with one television. The Mainstream TV is often considered the big role of public relations, landing a spot as a guest on a national TV show (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC etc.) Just remember that the competition for placement on top networks and popular shows is fierce, and more often than not, it requires using the services (and paying the costs) of a PR professional. Since virtually every national show requires video proof of a guest’s TV worthiness, it’s a good idea to start by getting booked on local news and morning shows in your area and working your way up.

Of course, newspapers and Magazines are the traditional tools as well. Mention of your business (or person) in a magazine or newspaper can be a major boon to your brand. In addition, since most hard-copy publications have an online version, the chance for live links back to your website is good. Which publications you go after placement in depends on your business, objectives and audience. Possibilities include trade magazines, popular national or regional magazines, and national and local newspapers.

To sum up, all these traditional tools are necessary in promoting your business and at the same time to help you in marketing wise. So, all you need to do is to utilize all those tools for your business’s sake.

Hipster style. Is the t shirt printing can be hipster?

The answer, YES! Even the t shirt’s design printing can be as hipster as the wearer wants it. Of course, the hipster style is necessary for the printing business. however, have you ever think what is the hipster? What are the designs? Who are they, the hipsters? To begin with, hipster is a culture that emerges from the west countries. According to Wikipedia, 2016 states that The hipster subculture is composed of affluent or middle class youth who reside primarily in gentrifying neighbourhoods. It is broadly associated with indie and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility, vintage and thrift store-bought clothing, generally progressive political views, organic and artisanal foods, and alternative lifestyles.

As you can see, nowadays the teenagers are preferring the hipster style so the t shirt is the way for them that they are hipsters. You can see from the design that they choose on the t shirt. If they are preferring vintage style, then they are showing the signs that they are hipster. Well, the hipster loves to mash up their style like wearing the t shirt with the jackets or versaty jackets. This will make them looks like dandy or kind of “out of” league?

Sometimes, they prefer to wear t shirt with the skinny jeans. Of course, the skinny jeans is in the bright colour like red, blue and etc. With wearing the t shirt with hipster designs will show that they are hipsters. Note that guy hipsters actually probably wear skinny jeans more than the girls (girls prefer leggings). Alternatively, for women, high-waist pants (a.k.a. "mom jeans") may also be worn.

Of course, other than t shirt, the hipster loves to wear ironic tops. For tops, the following are good picks: band shirts such as Pink Floyd, Metallica, Van Halen, etc, plaid shirts, cowboy shirts, flannels, and anything in gingham, plaid, checkers, paisley, vintage florals. Many hipsters sport tops with appliques, images of animals or forests, other images, characters from children's TV, and ironic sayings or even book covers. And they will wear the fit hoodies too.

One thing for sure, the hipster is love to mismatch and layer. Layering or wearing things that don't match together is very hipster. It's that "I can't be bothered" look that actually takes some planning until you get into the habit. Remember that a hipster's outfit never needs adjustment should you decide to go to the beach—keep all of your urban accompaniments for the sand and surf to ironically stick out of your element. Don’t be surprised if they wear the t shirt, wear a bright colour jean and a boot.
