Best books to learn Screen printing and t-shirt printing, in order
Screen printing is a process with a strict order, and skipping a step ruins the print. Start with the fundamentals — the screen, mesh, and how the stencil is made — then the workflow of coating, exposing, and printing a clean image, then inks, multi-color registration, and a DIY setup. The exposure stage is where beginners fail. Understand the process, then master a single-color print, then build up to color and volume.
