Dye sublimation printing is an affordable and effective option for creating promotional items with logos and company information.

High Visibility Clothing helps keep the wearer safer



This statement is especially true on the work site, on people riding bicycles and motorcycles and also for pedestrians walking at night. The reflective properties of the clothing lie in the vinyl used in the digital fabric printing process which produces clean sharp lines. 

The dye sublimation printing process that can be used to print on fabrics, paper and plastic involves high heat, transferring the reflective material which then permeates the fabric. Once this process is complete the dye is considered permanent and stands up to washing, drying and extreme wear and tear. 

The printing of various items such as caps, sports bags, hats, jackets and vests take on the same look as reflective tape but of course presents a more permanent solution. 

The use of what was then called florescent jackets first became popular in 1964 when railway workers in Scotland were issued jackets to be worn while doing track repairs, allowing them to be visible from a distance to train operators.  The method of producing reflective gear has since undergone many changes and improvements in order to help ensure the safety of:
  • Police officers - especially during traffic stops at night and traffic light outages.

  • Firemen - visual stripes on many gear parts.

  • Crossing guards

  • Cyclists - often a torch light or reflective lights are too small for constant visibility.

  • Motor Cyclists - studies have indicated that there 33% of accidents would have been prevented if the riders sported high visibility apparel such as a vest or other reflective clothing or satchels.

  • Security guards

  • Pedestrians - walking at night is less hazardous. (Many people have their dogs set up with reflective gear too.)

  • When a car breaks down at night or in low light - it is wise to have a piece of reflective clothing in the trunk to don immediately if anyone is outside of the car.

  • Construction Workers - hard hats, caps, jackets, safety vests.

  • All terrain vehicle drivers including boaters, snowboarders, cross country skiers (endless list of outdoor activities)


The safety of work crews and everyday people is foremost on the minds of the staff at Everything Vibrant. For permanent, reflective words, names, logos and striping Everything Vibrant has the expertise and professionalism to advise their customers whether on line, via email, by phone or in person. There are very few fabric items that can not be printed on with reflective high visibility vinyl for the sake of safety.

T-Shirt Screen Printing – What’s Involved



If you’re looking for Brisbane screen printing, then it’s probably a good idea that you find out exactly what the process involves before making a purchase. Screen printing is a process that uses a woven mesh to hold an ink restricting stencil to transfer a chosen image to fabric.

The Technique

Art creation – This stage is where you design the art intended to be used for printing. It’s important to choose a design that will translate well, and either a hand-drawn or computer generated image can be used. When screen printing T shirts, it’s also critical that when translating this design to film that the film is 100% black in the right areas, as light can pass through and semi cure your emulsion which can be impossible to wash out. Film to T shirt transfers are where most issues can occur so it’s definitely better to be overly cautious here.

Choosing the frame and mesh -  For this part it’s important to have a rigid frame, and one where the mesh is tightly secured. The performance of your screen will define the quality of your print, and choosing a printing store that has invested into their frame and mesh will allow you to push the limits with your design and creativity. 

Prepping the screen – This is where the mesh is gently abraded with a mild abrasive while cleaning off any potential dirt or grease. Once this is complete it is set to dry in a room that is absent of any dust or other particles, to ensure that it is clear enough to receive the emulsion.

Setting up the press – A press operator uses a scrap shirt and prints just one colour while aligning the other screens. This process is called registration, and once the screens are registered, the ink is added to the frame and a sample is run with the entire colour spectrum. Any adjustments can be made at this point to make sure everything is lined up perfectly.

Running the press – Each shirt is loaded onto a pallet for printing, and then goes on to make its way around the press, stopping at each head (or section). A different colour is used at each head, where the ink is pulled across the stencil made on the frame. This is repeated, and once the shirt has been through the entire colour spectrum it is placed through a dryer with extremely high temperatures that are necessary to cure the ink.

This is the general process of screen printing and in general it can be done relatively quickly, depending on the quantity of shirts you require. Overall, it pays to invest in a service that has quality equipment and materials, so you get exactly what you're looking for with the design. A great example of this is www.everythingvibrant.com.au, who offer a range of options to suit your needs.

An Introduction to Digital Fabric Printing


Digital fabric printing is a relatively new form of printing that offers technology with a huge amount of applications. In this article I will discuss the technology and design process that is used with this method, and examples of why this might be beneficial as a form of printing over the other methods available.

Technology

 Digital printing has a great advantage over the standard rotary screen printing due to the technology that it uses. Because there are no screens to prepare, users are able to do very small runs of a design for testing, rather than being forced into a huge print to save costs.


The inks used are created specifically for each type of fiber (cotton, nylon etc), and these are applied to the fabric in the form of thousands of little droplets as it passes through the printer. Once this is completed, the fabric is then finished using steam and/or heat to cure the ink. Digitally printed fabric will usually wash and wear similar to most other fabrics, however occasionally there can be some fading in the first wash with specific ink types.

Design Process

Creativity can be pushed in the designs, as they are able to be created with almost any graphic design software (such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator). Existing photographs or artwork can also be scanned and then manipulated to make a pattern.

In general designs are created as a pattern that is repeated or tiled across the fabric. It is also possible to create a huge design that fills a large area without repeating, however this can cause issues if the file of the design is too large for the printer to handle.

Overall, this method is an excellent way to go when deciding about how to approach printing onto fabric in Brisbane. Digital printing allows you to not only push the boundaries in the design stage but also test a variety of these designs easily and efficiently without spending too much time in doing so.

The possibilities of what you can create with the lettering are endless. Represent your sports team, business, personality or event with this simple solution. 

Clothing lettering is for more than just personal use. You can easily make team jerseys, business safety jackets and gag gifts for friends of family with these letters. Use a straight-edge or curved guide as you apply the lettering to ensure that it is perfectly aligned. Letters can be applied in any order, or pattern that you desire. Using high visibility lettering on clothing is also ideal for those that exercise on public streets after dark. While you're out for an evening jog, reflective lettering helps motorists to see you and avoid a collision resulting in severe injury to you or your fellow joggers.

View a few of the font styles directly on the numbers & lettering page on the website. This gives you an idea of a few of the fonts and styles that are available. Lettering is available to match, contrast or just complement any fabric colour. Take a few minutes to browse and speak with a consultant to complete the look you're after.

Make an Impression With Screen-Printed T-Shirts


Everything Vibrant offers a variety of services including screen printing, transfers and stickers for use on clothing. Transfers and stickers are a great option to have on hand to quickly make a shirt for a new teammate or an impromptu outing. Stickers are a great item to have on hand for use on promotional shirts or other items. You can upload your own designs or discuss something fresh with the designers. Transfers can be ordered in the same fashion. With transfers, you can have them on-hand and make shirts as you need them. A variety of colours can be used to create exactly what you envision in your own mind.
 
Screen printing t-shirts is ideal for items that will be washed regularly. The colour options are nearly endless as well. Multiple colours can be used on the same design but this does require a slightly longer delivery time due to the process required for all colours to dry properly. The good thing about using Everything Vibrant for your screen printing needs is that you can upload your own custom designs right on the website. In some cases, cleaning up the images may be required in order for them to transfer properly.

No matter what your needs are, ordering transfers, stickers or a screen printed mix of t-shirts, the process is simple and only takes a few moments of your time. Have your designs saved for future orders or to make changes to a basic design. Get what you need quickly and easily.

If you prefer, contact a representative directly via phone by dialing (07) 3341-1194. Representatives can help you with ordering as well as answering any questions that you might have. You can also request to speak with someone in the screen printing department to discuss your vision and ask that design samples be sent before a final design is selected. This same process can be used for ordering transfers or stickers.

Digital Screen Printing: Reinvented

As I sat on the bench, people watching, a t-shirt really jumped out at me. For some reason it really caught my attention and I wondered about it. I was lucky when the guy sat down next to me and began to strike up a small conversation. It gave me the opportunity to ask him about his t-shirt.

I said to the man "I love your t-shirt, I noticed the brilliant colours right away." He smiled and said "Oh, I got this from a Brisbane screen printing company, Everything Vibrant. There's no other like it in the world. Thanks for noticing it." We continued on with our small conversation for a little while and then he wandered away. I decided to check out Everything Vibrant because I wanted to have screen printing t-shirts created, too. The colours were so bright, the lettering crisp, and the sheer number of products available were amazing. I knew I had found the absolute best option for screen printing -shirts, cups, and even tote bags. 


Everything Vibrant uses the most revolutionary digital printing available so that they don't have to limit their printing possibilities. By using digital printing they can cover a myriad of products and still have them appear vibrant and fresh, which is what all products should be. They're not shy about their abilities, either. They are up to the task of creating a unique design in any colour that you want. There is an expression that says "You can have it in any colour of the rainbow." Everything Vibrant has re-created the idea of the traditional rainbow. There are no limits to what colors they can create with their digital printing and no limits on which products they can print on.

So, I visited their website and found exactly what I was looking for. It was not a painful process, for which I am very grateful. There's almost nothing worse than a messy website that isn't user friendly. I didn't have that issue at all. I was able to find what I needed quickly, get their contact info, and have a price. I decided right then to order what I wanted. I'd already checked out the competition, but no one else could deliver the same level of quality for my budget. Everything Vibrant is not just the best choice... they're the ONLY choice for my screen printing needs.

Create Custom T-shirt Transfers for your Next Outing or Event

Standing out in a crowd for company or family gatherings in public settings is easier when all of the guests have the same design on their t-shirts. But getting all of your team organised with custom designed shirts doesn't mean you have to blow your marketing budget. T-shirt transfers can be ordered in bulk so that shirts can be made as they are needed. Businesses can also order transfers to make employee shirts as new hires are brought in or when shirts become worn. This option saves both the company and employees funds in the long run.

Transfers and stickers for t-shirt applications can be custom designed into any logo or colour scheme. Custom transfers can be made for any event and can incorporate a logo or specific design to signify what the event or sponsor of the event is. It is best to speak with a designer whenever possible to ensure that he or she understands exactly what you are looking to have displayed on the t-shirts and where the transfer will be placed on the shirt. 

The placement of a transfer or sticker on a shirt is crucial. Centred placements or the placement on the back of a t-shirt often gets noticed more. When designs are placed on the breast area of a shirt it often goes unnoticed as it is seen as a generic placement. The brighter the design is, the more attention it will get so consider using a multi-coloured design rather than a single colour. This may limit the colours of shirts that the decal can go on but it will stand out on dark coloured shirts regardless of the shade used.

Always proof and approve custom designs before the order is completed. This prevents mistakes in characters, theme or spelling. It also gives the company ample time to make requested changes for final approval to ensure that the design is correct. Have the design saved with the designer as well so that future orders can be placed faster. It also makes the process of receiving the transfers or stickers faster. Whether the design is for a personal event or company event, transfers that can be ironed on are much cheaper than choosing screen printed items.
