Do You Really NEED an Underbase? /// Screen Printing Without an Underbase 

I would send any client that wanted to skip the underbase a link to this video. It keeps you from having to explain it every time and will educate them for the future.

Thank you so much for clearing up the question "Why we need to apply a white underbase?" in simple terms and with illustration. Very enlightening video.

It would be nice to have that shirt and hang it up, like in a frame in the studio to show clients.

I'm just seeing this video and was in the mist of working with a White under base and had did a sample and found the Red I'm using pops better with the White under base...without it the color looks dull and flat

This is a great video brother! Will use this for future clients for sure

Thanks! I need to reconsider having underbase because of this video.

Thanks for the video Josh! This will help out a lot of new screen printers!

I'm planning to do some screen printing at home with black t-shirts. So I'll likely have a crude DIY setup. I would think that a white underbase requires perfect registration and it's unlikely that I'll be able to achieve that with my setup at home. So no white unberbase for me. However, from your video, it sounds like I might be able to get semi-vibrant colour by applying more ink than usual? Maybe I'll try three passes and see how that goes. Yes, I would be using more ink (which might sound wasteful initially) but I'll only be using a single colour (green.) At least I won't be buying two ink colours for each t-shirt print (white and green.)

Again, fantastic!

Good vid as stated, I only let customers dictate there art, they have to live with that, but far as printing I'm the professional so I'm going to print it right.

Alternatively, would I need a white underbase if I was printing green ink colour on a medium blue t-shirt? I would prefer a black t-shirt but as I'll be using a crude DIY setup, there's no way that I could get perfect registration for a white underbase.

Wow the colors

Well said!! straight to the point ! THANK YOU!

I love this idea/video, I will be doing the same for my shop.

That was a great idea cool video!

Waaa. This is a great video. Thank you for doing this

Would you need an underbase for a white shirt?

heck ya ! ncie vid

Nice shirt!👌

What is the best under base to use

Yeah i would just wear this shirt around..

I do but I never put my name on it by letting people know that it was my work

print flash print works for me 99% of the times, no costumer wont to pay for the extra work and i don't want to reclaim an extra screen for a small run.......do the same video with (underbase, no underbase, print flash print) ........

What if you want a faded look?

How about use clear ink for underbased?
