- Hey,
In this video, I am showing full process how to print a T-Shirt using lino block and how I do my packing for Etsy shop.
Here are the steps:
1. Choose a t-shirt, straighten it, recommend to through iron.
2. Prepare your lino block, check around so it won't be any stains, would be clean and ready for printing.
3. Take your t-shirt and get it ready for printing.
4. Get a piece of glass for inking, spread some ink, roll it carefully.
5. Apply gently ink on lino block and holding with your fingers on sides VERY CAREFULLY! place it inside your t-shirt.
5. Press with the wooden barrel, and then using circle moves carefully press with a wooden spoon.
6. Gently lift your fabrics and take out your lino from a t-shirt.
7. I use silk paper and some random sheet on top and then iron it.
8. Lift all papers and enjoy your new creation.
9. Your t-shirt is ready for wearing.
I hope you gonna like it.

That shirt folding was so satisfying I watched it twice.
heh thanks!
living my dream
But seriously. Excellent!
Thank you So Much!!
The skills!!!!
Love it!
Thank You !
Awesome design. How long did you wait before heat setting?
I do dry it with hair-dryer before ironing. I have found that even if I will wait for ink to dry on it's own, after I will iron it it will get this blurry image.
So:
1. Hair dryer.
2. Iron it through a sheet of paper.
3. Wear it.
4. Show to your friends what you have made :)
Very cool shirt motive!

Thank You!
hey what paint do you use? :) I tested a lot of paints and the effects are different ... I care about a paint that will be durable after repeated washing and covered as nicely as it is at your place.
Speedball Fabric Block Ink will last through repeated machine washings on a normal wash temperature after setting the ink . . . I have t-shirts that I have printed with the Speedball frabtic ink and worn for over 4 years with little or no color fading. I also dry the shirts in a regular clothes drier.😎
It would make sense to iron the t-shirt before stamping it. Also, I have read that you should wash the T-shirt first.
the ironing is not for the fabric, it's to set the ink
What pain do you used? Love the design.

No pre-shrinking?
Beautiful work! I am in a band, and would love to make some hand-printed linocut shirts!
I have some speedball ink, but I think it’s for using on paper. Is there a specific ink that won’t wash out in the laundry?
Also, I see that you set your beautiful design with an iron! About how long should I apply the heat?
Thank you for any advice for this novice!
there are a couple of different ink options you could use ! there are inks for blockprinting on fabric (most commonly, one by speedball and one by esdee), but in this video i believe the artist is using water-based speedball screenprinting ink!
im not totally sure how long to heat set tho :,3 i’ve heard a ton of different answers when i ask people. personally, i use speedball blockprinting fabric ink, which claims that it cures just after a week of drying, no heat setting required, but i still heat set by throwing the clothes in the dryer for half an hour and ironing over each print as much as i feel like the fabric can take !
i was just looking at other comments and i was wrong, the artist uses the same ink i do, ive just never seen it in a jar lol !
i know of other artists that use screenprinting ink for block printing though, some feel like it’s more reliable. it’s a little bit less thick and more slippery though, which can make it hard to roll onto the block.
How do you clean or take care of Lino for you can use multiple times?
I literally just wash it with running water, if it happens that I be been lazy I would just use drop of dishwasher and rub it gently without using any hard material. And just let them try (but preventing lino being close to heater so it won't deform)
What is the purpose of the ironing? I had no idea that step was needed
Iron the shirt to set the ink if you don’t have a flash drier.
What kind of paper should I iron it with
The best is baking paper , but any newspaper will do:)
How many washes till quality drops? Just curious..
Can't asnwer that. This T-shirt is by this day still fine, thou I have printed the same linocut on totebag with same companies ink just different colour and quality have dropped in nearly "impossible to understand" state. I guess that's the trick to experiment with many inks and many fabrics and curing methods what works best for you!
@@SalciusLinas many thanks, all info on that matter is the most useful as we want things to have extended life as possible!
are you using screeen printing ink on it??
Most likely
Amazing...how long did it took to dry?
I usually dry it with hairdryer and after I print all batch I iron it through sheet of paper.
have a question. Can link printing be done on medium duck canvas and be archival? Should the canvas be primed with acrylic gesso? I have seen people use Lino block print for making handbags etc but not really seen in art. Also can India ink be used on a gessoes canvas or must the canvas be ungessoed. Your response and time is appreciated. And also my particular ink to use.
so i make woodblock and linoprints. most prints are printed on specialized paper like cotton using oil based inks. i don't think it would hold on a canvas very well. india ink isn't very viable for anything outside of staining. i use ink made from gamblin
perhaps you could use acrylic on canvas with block printing ? or if the paint is too thick and slippery for lino you could have a similar process using a screen print?
Hi great work. Where did you order your shirts from in bulk?
Amazon
Do you think I can do this with oil-based colors on fabric? (ofc special for Lino prints)
There has to be special medium for it. As I have experimented with medium for oil-based paint (DALER-ROWNEY Georgian block printing medium), I wasn't too satisfied after few washes, thou this medium works brilliant on the paper.
When its wash it remove or stay? Is it permanent?
It is permanent.
What kind of ink could I best use?
So far best I know:

you didn't roll your brayer properly. do long strokes instead of going back and forth. it shouldn't make a sticky noise when applying. you had too much ink in one spot and that can lead to it filling in the gaps or overinking
Thank You so much for your tips
Dis you use paint for fabric?
Yes:)
I hope you’re going to hand carry that bundle . . . 🤭
if i wash with soap the colour will be gone or it will stay
It will stay. It holds on for good amount of washes.
You just flopped that shirt down and no wrinkles under your block
You talk too much.
Oh I am just warming up my vocal cords!
design is too small for the shirt
