Personally I like longer style videos, because I get to see and learn everything from all angles broh. Through your videos I managed to avoid certain mistakes when printing, learned new tricks. Longer style videos for knowledge. Thank you for good quality videos/content. Keep doing the great work my brother, may God bless you more. 🇿🇦❤️ One love.
I have so much respect for anyone in this skilled printing its a process and a dying skill/trade hats off for keeping traditional screen printing alive and going! Love the video great content!
No giving up, I ran a flooring business for 35 yrs. 1 yr. ago I added the screen printing in for my side hustle. Learned all my lessons from the first business, things happen and you learn to deal and move on. Self employed takes a lot of discipline and motivation, it is goal driven. A lot of People lack the motivation. I can't punch a time clock and never have, always worked for myself. Keep up the great work Baav
Hey at the end of the day being transparent reflects the integrity of your character! Those of us on the outside looking in know where to go to when we need the details to get to that next level!
Baav always coming out with new hits. I love the length and the quality of the video. You did a great job on all the detail work can’t wait for the next one. No grind no glory!
Bro we’re the same age and seeing two videos of yours where you’re printing in your parents basement to now having your own shop is sick. I’m thinking about getting into to screen printing so I can print my shirts for my brand and now I’m dedicated to starting because of you. You definitely earned a sub, much love
Sick prints boss, very good job. One thing I noticed is everyone on RU-vid uses paper for palets. Just my 5 cents. We don't use it and load merch just straight on a pallet. It saves us quite some money, lots of time, and it's better for the environment. After a run we just wash the dirt off with some solvent and it's as good as new. No cons spotted so far, you should try it.
When I first started in my early early days I didn’t use pallet tape because I didn’t know about it. So just like you I would use the regular pallets and spray adhesive on but that just ends up ruining my pallets. Granted, I didn’t wash my pallet right after a run like you but I can see how that would be slightly better. The reason I use the pallet tape is it’s actually a adhesive tape so I don’t ever have to worry about spraying adhesive or adding any sort of waterbased glue and it keeps my pallets clean and I don’t have to keep cleaning them. I do see the pros in what you do and as long as it works for you then keep doing it🙌🏽 thank you for your 2 cents boss!
Hey Baav! I'm a student and a fan. I saw one of my other "professors" saying they corrected the roll issue by using a large diameter core to the roll. That reduces drastically the variation from one revolution to the next. Your cutting and laying flat is superior. You'll always be bang on. But the large core diameter rolls will reduce the issue and still let you take advantage of the automation.
I'm 23 too and I just signed a lease for a 7,000 sq ft facility! Great work bro. We got 17 heads of embroidery and an automatic press, and DTF. Good work!
I have that printer as well, so it’s nice to know a work around if I ever encounter those registration issues. Thanks for taking the time to explain your solution.
Man. Where do I start?! Thanks for always being real and showing the frustrating obstacles that we face and how you overcome them. It's also important how you show that even though you have professional , top of the line equipment; you still have issues. Loved how you showed the coating of the screens and cleanup. I think i'm coating my screens too fast. Thank you. All in all, another banger video. grateful for all your transparency.
So happy to hear that🙌🏽 there’s always hiccups that occur and I do my best to keep it real and show that it’s not always a smooth process. For the screen costing I do want to remind you that the video is in slow motion when I coat the screens so I don’t actually coat them that slow but it should just be a smooth coat! Grateful for your support and time and showing love!🙏🏽
Very nice Baav! It was great to bump into you a few times at ISS in Atlantic City and chatting with you for over 20mins. Stay humble and keep grinding !
This is fire bruh! Much respect to your work ethic and professionalism. I live in the DMV area and I'ma definitely be hitting you up soon to get some work done. Respect 🙏🏾
The downside you've shared is awesome! And may help other printers like me avoid problems in the future. We order our films from another company to save headaches with printers, inks etc. Now I know we need to register them before making the screens! Nice vid as always cheers!
Happy to hear that! Sending your films out to save headaches sounds great. If that works best for you then I don’t see why it’s a problem. And definitely cause imagine if I made the screens with those films that don’t match up😵💫 that would not of been fun.. I appreciate your engagement 🙏🏽
Hey, I love videos. And yes, your long videos are very helpful. I would like to see more examples of your computer to printer and how that process works.
It’s a pretty common issue but I got it resolved now. I ended up adjusting the settings on my accurip software to enhance the quality and the printer prints fine through the roller now!
Great vid bro, its good to see the fuck ups. that transparency thing has happened to me a few times randomly and it is definetly a headache when it happens. and I still dont really know a real solution to it, these transparency printers just have a mind of their own sometimes. Atleast you caught it before you made the screens unlike me.
nice video and I appreciate you leaving your errors or struggles as it's part of the screenprinting game for sure! Happens to the best of us Do you coat your screens with one coat on each side or two? I know everybody does it differently.
Man. I know how you feel about not changing enough. Been there😂. I do embroidery and printing. It’s frustrating but that’s just part of doing business. Charge it to the game and keep grinding I guess.
Great work brodie!!! Watched the whole vid like I was studying tape, I like how you coat screens against the wall… that shits been a struggle but imma try it out next time I print… I was wondering how you price your work, I’m currently working on a print job and I feel like if I’m not printing hundreds of shirts I ain’t making no money. Do you charge differently when the shirt count isn’t a huge amount?
The more strokes you do with halftones the more darker it gets With halftones you have to be consistent with pressure and how many strokes Typically just try to do 1 stroke and consistent pressure
@@baavproductions I myself have been trying to figure out which is best. How do you feel about plastisol ink as far as longevity goes? any experience with cracking or fading?
Got a question. What do I need to screen print on sprinkler marking flags made of PVC? I tried dtf but it doesn't hold well. I do have screen printing equipment but not sure the type of ink needs for them or if some advice is needed. Could you help guide me on this?
You may be flooding too hard. Flood is just to “fill” the image area with ink. When you pull/push the squeegee to print is when you do it with pressure
Hey Baav I just started screen priniting out of curiosity whats the current set up of ink you use and also can you mix different brands of ink such as FINK INK and international coating ink?
