What app is best for designing a t-shirt?
Ai: Anyone who has an inkling of knowledge about t-shirt printing knows that 99% of the apparel industry is silk screening their shirts. And if you know anything about silk screening you know that it’s a spot-color printing process. Vector artwork and spot-color printing are like cookies and cream! Illustrator gives you the finest array of spot-color designing tools. And when you’re done – it’s easier to trap, separate and print. So, unless you plan on using an iron-on decal to get your designs onto your t-shirt – you better choose Illustrator. Otherwise your shirts will look about as good as Photoshop performs; like something out of the 70’s. Would you like a little glitter ink with that design? Rebuttal: Ps: Weren’t you the one raving about pushing illustration into the future a couple questions ago? Spot colors ARE crucial in the majority of the apparel printing projects out there (which is why there is no reason you couldn’t restrict your color palette while working in Photoshop)…
