Thank you. I needed this. To the point and no fancy tools. I appreciate you making this video. It’s how I’m going to do mine. Do you add tape over the staples before using it?
This is exactly what I needed ! I kept having bad exposure with my screens and I’m 100% sure it’s because my transparencies are way to light and not dark enough.
Thank you! This was very helpfull! I would also like to know the best settings of printing from photoshop with a rater image. Do you have a video of that? And how do you know if the film is black enough? Is there a test to find out?
So i had a few questions about the exposure. 1, do you need to lay a glass on top befor you expose it? Like when your using transparency film. 2. Does it have to be covered until i go outside for the sun exposure? If i choose to use my uv light (mine is 50w) do you know how much time and the distance it would be to expose a 14x14 frame? Also i have a 5x5 and 2x2 would those be less time and closer distance? And if i use the sun does the time change for smaller frames? Thanks
my hero! if you could do photoshop settings next i would love it so much! i followed along best i could with photoshop and it worked! would love if it was darker however! thank you so much!!!!
So, if I put the emulsion on both sides, let it dry in the sun. Then, I print out on my printer whatever I want to be the printed. I put that on one side, and put baby oil/mineral oil. Let it sit (for how long?), then I put it in the sun again to cure it? What do you use, for ink to put it on a shirt? what side do you use to put the ink onto a shirt? I mean, the emulsion, it gets removed by the baby oil and that's how you get your "print" to screen print off of?
thank you for making an actual diy tutorial. I have come across so many “diy” videos where you need some niche expensive equipment according to them. Thanks for being so accessible and helpful!
Any tips on helping the screen not rip with the staples? Got the screen all put together and with a little pressure it starts to rip at the staple site and loosens the screen. Went ahead and coated it with emulsion Anyway. I’m gonna do a test print to see how it works.
Hi I would just like to say thank you for your videos!!! Everyone else makes videos for like really commercial reasons and I am an artist just trying to learn how to screen print my little designs. This has been really helpful. I have been so overwhelmed by other videos and the way you explain this is exactly how I think. It lays out the steps and gives ideas for alternative tools. Thank you very much cuz this is helping me a lot!!
Glad I found this video! Used a similar method-rolled the excess screen in a 1x2 to use as a tensioner. I have some SLIGHT waves in my mesh, but not major. Will that be ok when it comes to the emulsion?
