>Silkscreening involves not only getting a good screen made but also the necessary equipment to do the screening.  The equipment basically consists of a frame and squegee.  The equipment is not that expensive but it does require some experience to get a good job.

>Getting a screen made can be fairly expensive.  However, some "T" shirt silkscreeners are willing to make the screen for very reasonable prices.

>I don't do silkscreening.  My eldest daughter, the fine arts / commercial arts artist, has done some silkscreening for some relatively small projects (like 50 to 100 "T" shirts for some organizations of which she is a member).  However, even though she knows how, she usually gets the job done by a company that does silkscreening on a regular basis.
