Very cool tutorial. I think you like green. Tells you more than just how to burn a screen. I like it, awesome home brew. Screen printing rules! ;) Come get some Catspit~! ☠
how do you know how long to expose the photoemulsion to the uv light. you are very specific with your 3min 10 seconds. What happens if you expose it less than 3min n 10 secs or have expose it mre this time. how do you know if you have expose it just right. I would be using a flourescent light how long do i need to expose my screen with photo emulsion.
the Photo emulsion: 10 parts of sericrom n' 1 part of Bicromato. and mark the way that u use the rasero its not correct but u have some idea..see videos from argentina España and mexico to learn the correct way. but greeting nice work, viva la serigrafia! Loco. Eres vienvenido a mi casa a aprender mas.
Photo emulsion is NOT the ink that you use to print your image. Photo emulsion is what you use to create the stencil that you will then use to transfer your image. Basically you just cover your silk screen with photo emulsion and then block out parts of it and expose that to light. The parts that do not get exposed to the light will remain soft while the rest will become hard. You can then wash the screen and you will notice how the soft parts wash away, creating a stencil.
The problem I have, is getting the image through the computer and out my printer onto the transparency. I have Accurip and CorelDRAW but it's all Greek to me!?!?!? I'm a compooter' dummy!!! Anyone in the Chicago area willing to help a brotha' out???
I'm looking to screen skateboards, I can't find anywhere to buy the screens with my logo on them, no one really sells the screens, and no one around me silk screens skateboards, but it would be the best way to get the design on, If i follow your two videos and most likely change the mesh count to work with the design or the wood (if it needs changing) do you think it will work?
Wicked videos, you explain each stage of the process really well! Much thanks and respect to you for making these, they have truly been a big help to me in starting off.. Keep up the creativity & vids, all the best!
you said it will take 5 hours to dry the photo emusion. What happens if you dry it les than five ? or more than 5 hours? Can you make a silk screen with photo emulsion and store it for a week or more for future use.
Nice video bro. But one question when you were getting ready to paint on the screen the screen was pink not green like the emoltion. Did u add something else. I would really like to know what that pink stuff is please lmk.
You can design an image using photoshop or a similar software and then print that directly onto a transparency sheet. You could even draw an image onto the transparency sheet.It just needs to be dark enough so that light does not pass through the parts that you have printed or drawn.
Hi, sorry for the delay. That pink screen was burned using a different brand of emulsion that just happened to be pink. Some emulsions will be different colors. I just used two different screens because the one I started with wouldn't have been dry on the same day that we made the video.
Audio was recorded with the shotgun mic included with the JVC GY-HM100U. We used a boom and a long xlr cable to get as close to the speakers mouth as possible. You can see the shadow of the boom in one shot if you look closely. Thanks for the props!
Good video...but you sound and look absolutely bored as hell doing that stuff. I have a job interview to do this so...it was good to get a glimpse of what I might be getting into...haha!
Great Video, You should do a walk through of that homemade press. Also what type of bulbs did you use in the light box? (like watts and color of light etc..) Thanks
@iloveallvideos We will definitely take that into consideration. The next bid on the agenda is a "How to cast Plaster of Paris" tutorial. Keep an eye out and thanks for watching!
Different emulsions have different requirements. Your light source also affects the time needed. Just read the directions on your emulsion and experiment.
hey man! tnx for the tutorials! great explanation! i was wondering where can one buy a photo emulsion and what sort of ink to use with aluminum? thank you in advance!
