Please do a series recreating some popular t shirt designs! It really helps me conceptually when I see something start to finish! Great videos though, I have learned almost everything I know from your videos and experimenting beyond that.

Whats the differences between sRGB and Working RGB: sRGB in your color profile settings at 2:14?

Great video, with amazing tips! You truly never miss.
P.S. unrelated to this video but when doing tutorials for graphics could you put the same psd file youre using for the tutorial in the description so myself and others can follow along withn the video that would be great. sorry if im asking for too much

your website still has that signup problem, im from india, is there still a problem

I think a cool threshold anime girl would be an awesome graphic on the front of a shirt right?

You also lose 30% of vibrancy from what you see on the computer when you screenprint

the second I see a brand using DTG is the second I stop taking them seriously lol. shit looks terrible, takes the artistry out of the process, and breaks down in like 5 washes. super lame.

Color profiles also help with overall design - profile rgb1998 is clutch! Also DTG IS ASS

Какой же опрятный мужик, даже не важно что он говорит, я просто хочу смотреть как он шевелит нижней губой

What do you think of Heat Press Printing? Would that work for your style of designs?
