Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone has figured out a good way to make a silkscreen mask for making screen prints on t-shirts using a laser engraver...
I've tried making stencils but the end result is sloppy looking: I cut out a stencil from thin cardboard and laid it on top of a t-shirt and spray-painted the shirt. Results were runny and with a big loss of detail.
Silkscreening would be the best way to go but I can't figure out a good way to etch a mask without melting the screen (or any other method), any advice would be great!
Attached is a sample design, there is a lot of detail I'd like to try to retain...
