Coloring Book print ?
« on: June 04, 2018, 02:17:21 PM »
I have a customer we are printing for that needs the print in black like a coloring book so her kids can color it in.  The shirts are white, put should I not put a white base or something like a chalkboard underneath to help with whatever they will use to color it in, any idea's Pros/Cons

We sell shirts like that.      Print the outline and sell the shirts with a set of markers that don’t wash off.
The markers work on cotton so we don’t print white, only the black outline.

I used to do that, adding airbrushing afterwards.
Good idea for festivals (where I first saw it done) because though customers choose a standard design, they get to see it colored special for them.

I made one with a large block of white that they wrote on with Crayons, worked out great....


No D, I wouldn't add anything, just print the black outline....

tell them to buy colored fabric markers at a hobby store, they work great, my wife uses them all the time...

Thanks guys, we did gym shirts a few years back and we printed a white box so the kids could write there names on it, but yeah I think that is different from coloring in black outline art.
