I took a class for screen printing in high-school years ago and loved it and recently got a smaller 4 color unit for myself at home and this video has been most helpful, thank you. I was wondering how how the yellow doesn’t get on the bottom of the screen that follows it which I would think might cause it to transfer or smudge much the yellow with the magenta it whatever color followed it ? Sorry if this is a stupid question I just wasn’t really sure if that would happen or is possible to happen. Just trying to watch as many tutorials as I can & hopefully get reacquainted with the process before I start and end up ruining a bunch of shirts (LOL). Thanks for all your help!!

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 3 года назад

Hi Angie and thank you! You actually want the ink to imprint on the bottom of the next screen, and so on and so fourth. It's a process called wet on wet printing in which it saves time not having to flash between colors, which can cause a lot of issues such as the print wanting to stick to the screen if not properly flashed, or the amount of ink layers being too thick. I hope this helps. :)

Quick question. When you print registration marks on the stencil and stuff does that not mean you will end up printing the registration marks on the shirt as well? Obviously I know you don't but where In the process and how do you end up removing/avoiding printing the registration marks on the shirts

@ainaopeyemi339 6 лет назад

Hello, I usually have trouble maintaining my details dot, some wash off but some dont, and what happens when you use 300 mesh count, is that suitable for CMYK printing? Because everywhere I go I see people saying 305 but I can only get 300 count mesh, pls advise me, and what's the uniqueness of the emulsion from other emulsion?

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 6 лет назад

305 is best for CMYK printing. It'll hold those 55 lpi dots and you don't have a ton of ink going down. Try using a dual cure diazo emulsion like Ulano TZ in our links / description. When I use a photopolymer emulsion, like Ulano Orange, QTX, or QX-5, the 5%-10% dots tend to not hold as well.

@maka1978 5 лет назад

Hi , Cool video , Did you ever try cmyk on white polyester tshirts ? Is it feasible ?

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 5 лет назад

You should't have any issues with polyester. If you need to, add a low cure additive.

@shanicejohnson5470 5 лет назад

so when we are painting an image after breaking it down but the colors do not contain yellow or black etc, but more like pruple pink and blue. (some other colors other than cmyk) do we still print the lightest color first?

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 5 лет назад

General rule of thumb is smallest image / lightest first, but it depends on how you separate things out. Dark may need to go first. Takes some experimenting.

@shanicejohnson5470 5 лет назад

@smetankorzevic6647 5 лет назад

@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 - it possible, but this requires a variety of technical conditions in the printing process, such as humidity and constant humidification of the working environment and meshes, the temperature in the production. Since you work with wet-on-wet method with plastisol ink, printing with water ink will be familiar to you. But most importantly - the microclimate and constant moisture. It costs some money.

@ScottKingDesigns 6 лет назад

Hey Matt, good stuff as always! I just recently upgraded my exposure unit.....going from the DIY halogen light to the Ranar XPO 2426, which I think is a model under what you got. I also changed emulsions as well, going from Ulano Orange to the Saati PC Blue. I know you said what emulsion you used in this video is different, but wanted to see if you have used the Saati PC Blue in the past. I just do a one and one coat on my screens that are 156 mesh. Just curious as to what you exposure times are? I'm use to with my halogen light flashing for 6 minutes 30 seconds LOL. I tried exposing a film last night with the PC Blue for 45 seconds....seemed to be ok, but thanks for your time, SKD

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 6 лет назад

Nice up grade! We use Ulano orange as well, but for our spot color work. It generally took about 1:10 per screen, but we like to over expose ours a little to avoid the unexposed emulsion from running into the open art. 45 seconds works well too, but like I mentioned, we like to over expose a little, which isn't a problem if your film is dense. I haven't used Saati just yet, but I have a screen printing friend that does, and he likes it. I'm going to give Saati a try soon, because I've heard many have switched over from Ulano. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet because we get a great deal on Ulano from GSG. That and they accidentally sent us a 5 gallon bucket of Ulano Orange, instead of a gallon... Their mistake and they said they wouldn't charge us. We go through a gallon about every month or so... So it'll be a 3-4 months before we completely go through that 5 gallon bucket.

@ScottKingDesigns 6 лет назад

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I gotta keep messing with it....I thought my films were good enough. I'm using an epson 1430 but I haven't done anything to the printer. Thanks again for your time, SKD

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 6 лет назад

Any time. Just hold you film up to sun light, if you can clearly see through, it's not dense enough. It should have a reddish tent to it as well. They should be like looking through welders glasses, if you have ever looked through a pair.

@ScottKingDesigns 6 лет назад

Mikey Designs & Silk Screen thanks again!! Tried for 40 seconds and was pretty good!!

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 6 лет назад

That's awesome to hear! We love ours. Same setup really, but can do 23x31 auto screens. I was going to get that one, but wanted to have a unit that could expose the larger frames just incase we get an auto down the road.

@marootan7785 5 лет назад

Why is it okay to put another color while its wet. Wouldnt it smudge?

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 5 лет назад

It won't smudge, because the press holds registration, and with CMYK on white shirts you want to print the ink wet on wet so they mix. :)

@ainaopeyemi339 6 лет назад

Question again, why didn't you use glue to hold the shirt in place?

aina opeyemi spray tack was used which holds the shirt down. I’ve recently switched to a spreadable pallet adhesive called pallet pro.

@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 5 лет назад

Done it. The reason for printing lightest to darkest is, with CMYK, you print wet on wet. If you print in CMYK order, your yellow ink will start to turn either pink or a green color because the screen will start to pickup the ink and mix in your yellow. I hope this helps.

@darklexx2659 5 лет назад

good point
