How Do You Screen Print a Shirt on Silhouette Cameo?

Screen printing a shirt on Silhouette Cameo is a great way to create your own custom shirts for yourself or for a special occasion. It is easy and cost-effective, and you can make multiple prints with the same design. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Choose Your Shirt – First, you will need to choose the shirt that you want to screen print on. Make sure it is made from a material that will take well to the heat transfer process, such as cotton. You may also want to consider pre-treating the shirt with a heat-set spray before starting, which will make the design last longer.

Step 2: Prepare Your Design – Next, you will need to create your design in Silhouette Studio. You can use any of the built-in tools or download graphics from other websites. Once your design is complete, print it out onto paper or cardstock and cut it out using scissors or an X-acto knife.

Step 3: Apply Heat Transfer Vinyl – Place your cut out design onto some heat transfer vinyl and use an iron set on its hottest setting (without steam) to press the vinyl onto your shirt. For best results, place a piece of parchment paper over top of the vinyl before pressing with your iron.

Step 4: Cut Out Your Design – Finally, place your pressed shirt onto Silhouette Cameo’s cutting mat and use the machine’s blade to cut out your design. Be sure to follow all safety precautions when using Silhouette Cameo!
