Message: Hi,
I know you said that it is very difficult to remove screen printing and to use sandwashing (how could I go about that) or sandpaper. I am in charge of a hockey team and we had to sets of 25 Jerseys donated to us with the idea that we would remove the print from the jerseys and place our own print on them. Is there anyway we can get this done with out spending hours slaving over it with a piece of sandpaper? Can one screan print over previous print? Thank you for your time and help... it is greatly appreciated?

No, I wrote about sandpaper to "age" a screen print. It won't work to remove enough to allow reuse of the garments, I'm afraid, and neither would sandwashing.

This situation is rather like that of a tattoo. It's so difficult to remove one that people often get a new one designed to incorporate the old one.

Opaque screen printing ink might cover up the old logo well enough, if you design the new one so that it is big enough to really cover the old one.

Good luck.
