Abstract
A method of making a heat transfer from an image for application to a T-shirt or other piece of cloth is disclosed. An image is scanned to create a computer image represented by a computer readable image file. The image is separated into a plurality of colors using a computer to create a separated image. A plurality of plates is created from the separated image corresponding to each of the colors. The plates are printed on film to create a plurality of color separation films corresponding to one of the plurality of colors. Mesh screens are treated with a photoemulsion. The color separation films are then placed on the mesh screens and light is applied to the mesh screens A portion of the photoemulsion hardens in the light and a second portion of the photemulsion covered by the printed matter on the color separation films remains soft. The mesh screens are washed to remove the second portion of the photoemulsion. Ink is applied to a piece of transfer paper through the mesh screens.
