Types of T-Shirt Printing Equipments
T-shirt printing traditionally uses a mesh for screen printing. The textile inks are filtered through the screen using a squeegee, which is a piece of rubber with a wooden handle that is used to push the ink against the mesh. Innovations in t-shirt screen printing, however, have made the process easier and faster with new t-shirt printing equipment, especially the large drying machines that can cure multiple shirts at the same time at a faster rate.
Using A Squeegee and A Fine Mesh
A fine mesh with a high resolution is stretched from end to end in a square wood frame. The size will depend on how large the design area is on the t-shirt. Print screens with mesh counts of 160 to 280 can use multi-print standard opacity ink types while those with mesh counts of 230 to 305 can use process colors.
The ink is pushed against the mesh using a squeegee. The firmness of the rubber and the amount of pressure you apply will determine the right flooding of ink on the mesh. Too much will bleed the ink out of the design’s boundaries.
Using A Rotary T-Shirt Printing Machine
There are two types of t-shirt printing machines: manual and automatic. Manual rotary presses require human labor to move the different screens for each color and to apply ink using a squeegee. They also have different types based on the number of colors they can carry: Four Color, Six Color, and Ten Color.
The automatic t-shirt printing presses, on the other hand, only requires human labor for placing the t-shirts on the platforms under the screens and for taking them off for curing. The automatic rotary t-shirt printing machines have special parts that allow automated application of ink and for rotating the shirts from one color screen to another.
Types Of T-Shirt Printing Machines Based On Function
These t-shirt printing machines have different types also based on function. Belt presses are used to print designs all over the t-shirt by attaching it to a moving belt under the screens.
They are quite expensive because the registration and ink deposit are controlled in amounts that are outside of the industry standards. Discharge inks are often used to control the thickness, or "hand," of the design.
A second type of t-shirt printing machine is the all-over press. Similar to the belt press, the all-over press can print the design over the entire area of the shirt, including the sleeves.
However, instead of a belt, the all-over press uses one large and two smaller platforms to spread the shirt under the screens for printing. Although all-over presses can provide greater control over the quality of t-shirt printing, they cannot cover the whole shirt from end-to-end because of the edges of the metal plates.
The rarest of the specialized types of t-shirt printing machines is the cylinder press. It creates a continuous image of the print around the middle of the t-shirt. It works the same way as those printing presses for designing mugs, cups and other cylindrical objects.

Can you use screen printing fabric ink on bikinis?
What materials are appropriate for screen printing fabric inks on to? Specifically Speedball inks and bikini fabrics?
I know there are bikinis with inks printed on them so what kind of ink is it if not fabric ink?
Screenprinting inks need fibers to adhere to each other. Bikini fabric needs to stretch to work properly. Therefore, it's not a good idea to use ink on bikini fabric. The best way to find out if it will work is to use a small piece of fabric as a test swatch. Do the inking process and allow enough time to "set" the ink in the fibers, usually 24 hours. Wash the swatch as you would the finished product. If the ink remains on the fabric, it works.

Wood Type
What type of wood was the cross of Christ, was it a cross or a tree?
Do we know? Seems like it would be a wood type common to the area.
Legend of the Dogwood tree:
In Jesus' time, the dogwood grew
To a stately size and a lovely hue.
'Twas strong and firm it's branches interwoven
For the cross of Christ its timbers were chosen.
Seeing the distress at this use of their wood
Christ made a promise which still holds good:
"Never again shall the dogwood grow
Large enough to be used so.
Slender and twisted, it shall be
With blossoms like the cross for all to see.
As blood stains the petals marked in brown
The blossom's center wears a thorny crown.
All who see it will remember Me
Crucified on a cross from the dogwood tree.
Cherished and protected, this tree shall be
A reminder to all of my agony."
