First go on our new 4-colour carousel!

Last week we finally got the chance to have a play with our new bit of equipment - our new 4-colour t-shirt printing carousel - given to us by our nice friends at wickedprintingstuff.com

The carousel makes it much easier to print colour separations onto t-shirts, bags, aprons, etc. and register each colour accurately. We thought it would be appropriate to use the wypw logo and print some staff t-shirts...unfortunately it turned out that we only had extra large...so there'll be some more printing sessions to come I think!

Here are some photos to show each step of the process. The carousel is available for members to use at the standard hourly rate, you will just need a quick induction first.

Making sure the transparency is aligned correctly when exposing onto the screen
