The TRANSFORMATIVE POWER of ART on a T-SHIRT.

It’s comparable to a tattoo artist who transforms her art into a digital heat transfer that is heat pressed onto a shirt that will be worn and freely marketed in public.

Or ... similar to the textile printer who designs a t-shirt for a concert promoter or a or motorcyle shop owner and 10,000 people buy the shirts due to the emotion the shirt's design has instigated.

This is art on the move. It’s transformative and captures us all at some point in life - overtly or subliminally.

The Power to Influence with help from RhinoTech.

In our creative industry, the influence of art surrounds us on a daily basis. With creative minds and spirits, color and design that permeates our beings and with textile and digital heat transfer printing equipment and supplies at our disposal, we have powerful, wonderful tools in which to make an impact on others. What a marvel it is that we can insight laughter, make a statement, get a nod of approval; generate excitement, joy, desire and/or displeasure - all due to the wearable art we produce.

The Tools.

To digitally print onto DARK shirts and other apparel and fabrics with a laser printer:
RhinoDARK (in 2 sizes) and RT SunAngel DARK heat transfer papers.

We recommend these Laser Printers: OKI 711WT, OKI 920 WT,

Another Life Altering Art Form.

CAPTURING GRACE is a documentary film by Dave Iverson. The film depicts what happens when the acclaimed dancers from Brooklyn’s world-renowned Mark Morris Dance Group and people with Parkinson’s disease forge a community as they work together to create a unique, life-changing performance…..and who demonstrate the transformative power of art and the strength of the human spirit.

CAPTURING GRACE is a beautiful story. You will laugh and cry. And, you will be reminded, again, that no matter the type of art form, it's still an avenue toward awakening something more in us, a way to be moved toward new ideas and expression. Or not. And, that's a type of expression, too.
The film will be released to all PBS stations on June 22, 2015. Enjoy!

The Wow-Factor in Women's Wear.

Special Effects and trends in Women's Wear is a hot topic in our industry - always. In the March 2015 issue of Impressions, Thomas Trimingham in "Adding the WOW to Womenswear" weighs in on the subject regarding special effects, styles and more. It's an interesting overview, for sure, for any business.

We believe the following to remain true and certain with regard to Women's Wear. Regardless of age, women have very specific desires regarding the T-shirts that they want to wear. Whether for sports, evening or everyday, casual wear, the essential elements of a most-loved T-shirt are a flattering fit, performance and breathe-ability, fabric-type and a soft, light-weight feel.

DECORATION MATTERS, TOO.
The image size. The design.The image colors. The design shape and placement on the shirt. The subtlety or spark and flair of the design. The WOW-factor. All combine when considering a purchase.

To digitally print on DARK t-shirts and apparel, we offer RhinoDARK (available in 81/2 x 11 and 11/17)
and RT SunAngel DARK heat transfer papers and printers w/Fluorescent, White and CMYK toners. For white and light color t-shirts and garments, we offer SingleStep Heat Transfer Paper. Use RT SunAngel Printers with this exceptional paper, as well.
These systems will deliver!

SPECIAL EFFECTS MATTER. RhinoTech DELIVERS.

Rhinestones and Textile Metallic Foil offer two of the ways to create the WOW effect. We're big on these elements when more substantial or subtle effects are required. Like the heart-shaped rhinestone pattern pictured, it offers just enough of a sparkle to make this shirt design a stand-out without making it over-the-top. Less is more in this case. Adding beads, pearls, glitter and embroidery can also generate a sensational effect.

For women desiring a big display of bling, a large pattern of rhinestones can be digitally heat pressed onto a T-shirt over a design. This holds true for Textile Metallic Foil that can also be heat pressed onto a shirt to offer even richer texture and color as evidenced in this video: RT SunAngel DARK Part 3 - this is how you add more digital dazzle.

Thanks, immensely, for reading the this and the Impressions article and for watching our step-by-step, How-To videos. We're here to help you be wildly successful!
