Kapil Dev's Ek Nayi League

Kapil Dev – the remarkable legend of Indian cricket and India's first-ever World Cup winning captain; He is one of the all-rounders that people would remember till date and is an inspiration to many people. India reached the pinnacle of 1983 ICC Cricket World Cup only due to his great caption ship and his exhorts to his team mates.

Over the years there were many youngsters and amazing cricketers who are extra ordinarily brilliant like Sachin - the God of Cricket who is known for his success along with his character and discipline and MS Dhoni - who is known for his right decisions, leadership and captaincy. But these legends are trademark of these generations and in the late 70's Kapil was one of the fast splendid bowlers and he was at the peak. Hence, I believe Kapil is the God father to all and he was the hall mark of success in late 70’s and early 80’s. When I was a kid, before I was introduced to the word "Cricket" I was introduced to the word "Kapil" 

These days there are numerous training's available for all sports. But in those days, where training are restricted, achieving would require a great deal. The Success stories of Sachin or Dhoni or any other Cricket players are available in Internet in the form of interviews, analysis, autobiographies. Unfortunately, Kapil Dev interview's are not available in Internet. He is not in social media websites too.

If I would ever get a chance to explore more about a person or offered to have an opportunity to have a coffee with a personality it would be “Kapil Dev”. His experience would definitely be a guide to all the youngsters like me. His success mantra would definitely be helpful for me in order to grow both professionally and personally. Moreover, his success strategy would be helpful even today and for all the players around the world.

Hence I yearn for Kapil presence in social media and my wish was fulfilled when I saw the IBN news today. Yes, I came to know that Kapil Dev has joined Twitter. Thank you so much Kapil for your decision and your presence is much needed for Twitter.

His official twitter id is -  @therealkapildev

It could be something like VLOG, where Kapil would post his videos about his opinion on the current affairs and would send his messages, wishes through video to all the celebrities he wishes to convey. For example in the video “The message to Sania video” Kapil says, "Saniya is very good and playing from heart". In another video he appreciates Yuvraj. In one of his tweets, he congratulates our P.M Narendra Modi for his contribution towards Nepal.

This is an excellent initiative where his followers who hates reading, would be conveyed with video. This would also be an encouraging factor to all the celebrities.

Printing on Tees

Printed T-Shirts makes a tee more valuable than normal knitted tees. There are some kind of printing methods mostly used in tees like Screen printing, digital printing, Embroidery printing, transfer printing.

Screen printing is the old form for printing methods. In earlier days, we have been using manual printing with the help of screen and dyes. As technology advanced, automatic machines were invented in “screen printing”.

Screen printing can be used in all kind of fabrics but we cannot print multiple colored image. Just single or dual colors can be printed on a tees. And for making screens, one needs an expose unit and the process is little tough. But once the screen is made, it can be then utilized for bulk printing of tees. It cannot be utilized for customized T-Shirts in minimal numbers.

Digital printing is the latest technology and primarily the digital printing machine “dtg” cost nearly a crore. Hence the people who were likely to invest a lump-sum amount were profited.

With the help of this technology, we can bring a colorful image in the T-Shirt using discharge inks. The machine will print directly on the T-Shirts. Again with the progression of technology manufacturers made desktop dtg machines which starts from 2 lakhs onwards.

Embroidery Printing they used to make designs by threads with embroidery stitching machines. In this kind the thread will be stitched into the design we need as per we feed the image into the machine.

Transfer Printing is the latest technology that most of the fashion industries use. There are many transfer methods in the Transfer printing such as water transfer, paper transfer and heat transfer. The most common method used in the textiles is “Heat Transfer” - A design that is transferred with the help of a paper. The image or design is first printed on a paper and the design is then transferred to the cloth by applying heat.

The printing of image is pretty similar like screen printing method but the only difference in this method is that we need to print the image on the transfer paper for sticker and then transfer into fabric.

With this technology, we can bring any interesting images or quotes on tees but the image feel will be firm and one could sense the sticker.

Another transfer method is named as sublimation in this method we can print the images of any color and the image will feel will be very soft and the colorfastness and washing ability will be very strong in this method. But the disadvantage is in this method is the cost of machines. It starts at 5 lakhs and matching the right color is a big issue. Moreover, it cannot be printed on fabrics that are 100% cotton.
