For the production of printed garments for promotions, merchandise and fashion there are mainly 3 particular methods of screen printing employed. ‘Spot Colour’ printing is widely used and works well with many types of graphics. Spot colour printing is best used when printing graphics which are usually not very photographic in nature.

The colored ink that is used in reproducing graphic images are chosen by a graphic designer and more often than not are Pantone specified colors. Pantone coated or uncoated colour references are chosen to specify the ink colours of the design. The Pantone system is a global standard for colour matching where every colour is assigned a unique designation.

Branded promotional garments, or other merchandise where color identify and uniformity must stay constant, are particularly well suited for spot color printing.

4 Color Process is an additional technique for t-shirt screen printing. This method of printing is used mainly for photographic images and illustrations that consist of a wide range of colours, tones and graduations. Hard covers, paperbacks and periodicals all use the same four-colour process.

Reproducing the colours of the original image requires a mixing of translucent inks on a white background. This is of course a rather more difficult process to achieve on a fabric than it is on paper. The methods are pretty similar. The printing that you choose will work only on white articles of clothing and will not show correctly on coloured items.

The cost for the print set up is going to be a lot higher than that of simple spot colour designs and is only good for the bigger print runs of 100+. When the garment screen printers make full coloured images and put them on coloured fabrics this is called ‘Simulated process’. The artwork is separated into various colours and shades using a method similar to spot colour printing to achieve the overall look and feel of the original image..

Most t-shirt printers use this method, and it is especially popular when used to copy fantasy and heavy metal album artwork onto shirts to be sold by the band. Colour separations and the number of colors necessary make this the most expensive t-shirt printing option, and the higher set-up costs mean it is usually reserved for larger runs.

1921 Bootcut JeansMade with meticulous care and by hand, buy the 1921 Bootcut Jeans with a snug fit as they stretch with wear! It is a no-brainer that 1921 Denim has been manufacturing these jeans since 1921. They are handcrafted and made from the finest ring-spun denim. 1921 bootcut jeans are sanded, whiskered and cut, as well as manufactured with carefully embossed buttons in the same way as they have always been.

Quite rightly so, 1921 jeans are the number one fashion statement for many A-List Hollywood Celebrities. They are onto a good thing too because bootcut jeans from 1921, will look and feel as good today as they will ten years from now. You will see Jennifer Lopez wearing them, and you will also see Teri Hatcher and Paris Hilton donning a pair of these exclusive jeans.

More often than not denim is blue, or should I say a shade of indigo? It is made from cotton mostly, but today they mix this with spandex for comfort and ease of fit. The word denim originates from Nimes in France “serge de Nimes”. A twill farbric which was made in Nimes, France! It has a distinctive appearance with a blue warp and a white weft, and historically this was not the fabric of Kings. Today however denim is an established fashion classic and you will definitely find Princes William and Harry wearing it. In the past it was mainly used by sailors and the working classes because of its hardwearing quality.

This year for Earth Day, 1921 Denim is getting together with American Forests for the “Global ReLeaf” program. From the 15th April to the 15th May, every pair of 1921 jeans sold means one tree will be planted. Hopefully as 1921 is a popular brand, we should see a great many trees being planted during these four weeks.

There are two Global ReLeaf projects one for urban areas in which individuals, and communities are encouraged to plant trees for shade and to make the neighborhood more pleasant. For less developed areas eco systems are restored by planting trees. Trees are destroyed in this natural habitat, by forest fires and human or natural causes. Trees in heavily forested areas, help to keep both the air we breathe and the water we need to survive clean.

1921 Jeans are fashionable and will make anyone feel special wearing them. Once you have worn 1921 Denim, you won’t want to wear anything else. They give you an edge, are trendy and comfortable. Their jeans have an authentic vintage feel to them; and just the correct shades of indigo dyes are used to achieve this special look.

Every pair of these jeans undergoes a strict quality control inspection before it reaches the stores. They are a designer line and the denim fabric itself comes from Kaihara Japan and Candiani Italy. 1921 bootcut jeans are some of the best sellers because they are such a great fit. There is a new line of 1921 jeans which was launched last fall, called “Impressions” and the denim for these is made with 100% organic cotton which has been dyed using natural dyes.

1921 Bootcut Jeans look good no matter who wears them. 1921 Bootcut Jeans never go out of style. For more information visit http://www.shoprapunzels.com.

If you are in the market for a new jogging stroller you owe it to yourself, and your baby, to take a good look at the Schwinn jogging stroller.

Obviously, by the name this stroller is primarily built for jogging. But this stroller is even better for the walkers in the family.

Excellent engineering and a lightweight frame help it absorb the bumpiest roads. An aluminum alloy frame and rear suspension shock absorbers ensure this.

Moms who want to get back into shape after pregnancy, as well as fit dads, will thoroughly enjoy this stroller.

I’ve seen babies sound asleep while mom or dad jog away.

Durability simply is not an issue with the Schwinn jogging stroller. They have a 5-year warranty but don’t be fooled… you’ll probably have yours a lot longer (assuming you’re going to have more than one child). Their durability is so good that a ten-year-old Schwinn jogging stroller can still fetch a good price on eBay.

Even brand new the Schwinn jogging strollers will give you great bang for your buck, without doubt. They are not a boutique item… but you will get years of enjoyment from them.

It’s a simple Do-It-Yourself assembly job out of the box. This will take you no more than an hour, maximum. As soon as you get the wheels on the asphalt you will want to take it for a spin; and a joy that will be.

Lastly, are plenty of cubbies with zippers and removable trays for various purposes. A plastic rain guard hidden away in the canopy will keep you smiling on a wet day.

If you want to indulge in added comfort and support just invest in the the extra padding available for around $15, which is excellent value. And for a bit of fun…And for a bit of fun why not track your speed and distance with a “strollometer”. Fairly cheap and woth the money in my opinion.

Good deal on Schwinn Jogging Stroller here.

For a public affirmation of your love, take your mother out to a nice restaurant and organize to have floral decoration delivered to the table.

Let your mom know she ought to relax today. Gift wrap a book and instruct your local florist to include it with a flower arrangement and a nice note suggesting her to spend her day relaxing.

Give your mom a Mothers Day plant or tree. Take photos mounted in small frames or on decorative paper to your florist and tell her to tie them to a small tree or plant using ribbons.

Give your mother a corsage to wear on this special. She will especially enjoy this if she is planning to attend a public event where everyone can see the gift you have given her.

Invite Mother to a movie theatre. Take the movie section from a local newspaper to your florist and ask him to put it in a box of beautiful flowers. Decorate the outside of the box with movie candy wrappers. Incorporate a note letting Mum know she will pick the movie and you will buy the treats and tickets.

Send Mum on a floral treasure hunt. Buy several single stems of nice flowers. Have your favorite florist put a flower tube on each one. Hide the flowers all around the house and give Mom some clues to lead her to every one. Make the very last find a vase to put all the flowers in and a note letting her know what a treasure she is.

Breakfast in bed is a well known Mother’s Day custom. Place a pretty vase of her favorite blossoms on the tray.
