    Sublimation Inks

    Take a community college class in screen-printing or pick up a book or look online for info. Utrecht has a monthly “skills” feature in which they describe different artistic processes. I believe last months was a primer on screenprinting. Also- go to your local art supply or craft supply. The Speedball brand has several screen-printing starter kits starting at about $35. Precisely replicating your photoshop designs will require the use of Diazo emulsion- which is similar to a photographic process. Diazo is light sensitive and you expose the screen to light (w/ the “negative” or transperancy on top) and it will block the ink in light areas less than in dark and you will get your reproduction. Most graphic design programs require you to take at least one print making course that includes screen printing BTW.

    Heat Transfer Paper

    Buy a silk screen and the rest of the stuff. They’re kind of expensive but they’re way cool. I’m also a designer and doing the whole silk screening jazz.
