In this video I will walk you through the process step by step of how I will enter an idea into the Midjourney discord bot and have their AI algorithms generate an image from the text.

Then we will upscale the image in Topaz Gigapixel (Not entirely necessary but it can help some details show up when enlarging the artwork for a print).

Next I show how I bring the image into Photoshop and use my own special actions the DTF Auto-Prepper to automatically convert the background of the image into halftones fading into the artwork, so it can work better for the next process of printing it on a t-shirt.

Then I show how I use the AcroRIP 11 software to make the image get printed onto my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 Inkjet printer with a special white ink layer applied, the inkjet printer is modified with white inks and the top rollers removed so it can print ink wet onto the Digital transfer film.

Finally we go to the actual printing of the image out on the film, and I show how to apply the powdered glue after the print, and send it through an electric conveyor dryer to melt and cure the powdered glue.

The final steps are to flip the sheet and put it so the ink and glue is down on the t-shirt fabric and then put a cover sheet, and use an electric heat press to push down at a high temperature all of the print and glue into the shirt. Removing the cover sheet after and letting the print cool down, we peel back the film layer and the glue pulls the ink colors onto the shirt fabric.

With a 2nd pressing using a textured silicone finishing sheet, we push the remaining glue and ink deeper into the shirt and reveal the final look of the image on the shirt.

Stay tuned for many more artwork and printing videos as I show how to do these kinds of inkjet digital art prints, transfer prints for materials and textiles, and making screens and screenprinting art and designs on paper and t-shirts and so much more!
