How I struggled with fibrillation, but figured out a way to prevent it with what I had.. 

Key to preventing fibrilation is a good stencil, the right ink(it should have mat good down properties), proper off contact, minimal strokes. You'll get smooth, buttery soft prints without any gimmicks needed when done properly

Try: 1) load the garment and flash - get that garment warmed up (to kind of hot) 2) while the garment is warm (or kind of hot), lay your first pass of white (first stroke is light, second stroke is hard) 3) then flash again then let it cool down, then hit it again with white (this time strokes are light) Note: Make sure that your stencil has the tightest tension - with that kind of artwork - use mesh 150 to 160.

Another great visual aid video. Fibrillation is the latest topic in the printing community even the seasoned printers are sharing the way they deal with fibrillation at their shops. Keep up the great work!!!

I am not sure if i commented on any of your videos yet, but i am super new to screen printing. My brother gave me all of his stuff and he recommended a few channels for me to watch but i found you before i acquired all of his stuff and i'm glad i subscribed to you months ago! Im getting ready to start and im doing a bit of my own research before i start. Thank you for helping us newbies out!!

Thank you Joe for sharing this great video getting the experience for screen printing show we have to go Thur owner up and down. But we are human we get better and better 👍

I don't screen print, but I love the fact that you shared your tips.

Maybe prepress them the same way we would for HTV brother. Great advise!

Great video!

Good video Joe thanks

good video! How i do it i heat press my shirts/hoodies before i print and it knocks it down and print comes out clean .

Thank you from a newbie

Thanks for the info man

Yeah you solve the fibrillation problem, but what about the obvious visible fibers sticking out around the edges of the design?

Thanks good information

its call fibulation mostimes you can heatpress them down and they should lay down.

Did you know that you printed it on the front of the hoodie? lol joking. Great job and thank you for sharing.

Do you use rubberized paints on cotton shirts?

I only have a heat gun, so would this same process work if I don’t have a flash dryer yet ? After I do the first white undercoat cure it with the heat gun then iron it out with parchment paper then put another coat of white on top and cure it ? Do you think I should be fine or will I still get the fibers coming through ?

Great, what is the settings of your iron press.. is it on cotton, rayon, linen, polyester etc.. thanks

So curing with a heat press makes the image smoother, is that correct? I still cure with a flash dryer

& what is the mesh size you are using..

Hi, have u made a video tutorial on curing plastisol inks with a heatpress...

Hi, what is the screen mesh size you are using for this print..

Who did your hat?
