How Gilbert mass produces thousands of t-shirts

I wanted to learn how Gilbert made t-shirts so I got the tour through his shop and the process that Gilbert goes through to make thousands of t-shirts every day. 

So meet Gilbert. Gilbert owns the Art Shirt Company located at: 

228 Lowell Street,  Somerville, MA

Gilbert first showed me on his Mac computer how he separated Horn’ image that I gave him from a JPG into all the different colors. Horn is a cartoon character that works inside of a parking meter. 

Learn more about Horn at www.parkme.biz 

So off we went to the processing room where the images of Horn were developed and transpired into the 8 screens. Kind of reminded me of my high schools photography dark room. Gilbert explained to me that he created 8 unique screens to make the front and back images of Horn' t-shirt.
