Feb 3, 2020 at 17:27 comment added phenomenia The print on demand service is capable of printing white. Usually I use only white color (e.g. for text design) that is then printed on a black shirt for example. I plan to do the same here.

Feb 2, 2020 at 16:45 comment added Billy Kerr @phenomenia - Not sure you understand what I am saying. In printing, white is not a colour, generally speaking. When a printer makes separations for t-shirt printing, he can simply ignore the white (unless you specifically ask for white to be printed obviously). Just make sure you tell your printer that you do not want a separation for white. Then you can safely use a white fill to mask a shape below. In the finished work, all white areas will be fully transparent (i.e. not printed), and the colour of the t-shirt will show through. Ask your printer about this if you are still unsure.

Jan 31, 2020 at 19:00 comment added phenomenia Thanks, but filling in a color is unfortunately no option. The customer can choose from different colors of the shirt to print the design on. So, I don't know if it will be black, dark grey or even yellow.
Jan 31, 2020 at 18:03 comment added joojaa @BillyKerr or use spot color for white?
Jan 31, 2020 at 18:02 comment added Billy Kerr @WELZ yes, but even then you could just tell them there is to be no white ink.
Jan 31, 2020 at 18:00 comment added Welz @BillyKerr actually have to confirm first, because some printers (specifically ones for tshirts) can and do print in white ink.
Jan 31, 2020 at 17:32 comment added Billy Kerr Hi. Welcome to GDSE. You could just fill it white. In printing, white = no ink.
