How to screen print using puff additive and how to control your puff! 

Thank you so much - we are working really hard to make them as good as possible.

Hey, 43T = 110, 62T = 156

That's such a nice message Sean - Cheers,

After the first color just dry the ink then the second color dry third color dry and then cure to get the puff result try this will work.

Hey, thats great thanks for watching, we are filming again today!

Yes! like two/three colour with and without underbase! We are on it.

No problem, I can show a lot more with puff so will do some more complicated prints with it too.

Awesome hope your puff prints came out well!?

Hey, it is a technique to print the base and then the colour on top! there are a few good ways to do it for sure. The technique is the same for waterbased and plastsiol puff so you will be fine either way!

As long as it's stored at room temperature, any left over ink should last for years, just like any plastisol ink :) Just don't let it get so cold it freezes. Plastisol doesn't like that very much XD I imagine that shouldn't be too much of an issue for you guys down under though! Happy printing :)

Hey, the ink is fine to go back in the tub, we just make sure to label it so we don't confuse it for normal ink! haha

Good call - I will see what I can do

Hey, I tend to build up the layers for high density emulsion by coating in front of a fan heater, so the layers aren't drying but having a skin made on them. I will eventually make a whole video about when I feel I know enough!

Technically you can with the heat gun or flash, the ink needs to reach 165 degrees for around 30 seconds to a minute depending on the thickness of ink deposited. I prfer the conveyor dryer for speed and to know it is fully cured. A heat press would probably push the puff down flat again.

165 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit ?

Hi, Its not really rubber.. thats a difficult question as it feels quite like rubber but is still just plastic based.

@@squeegeeandink ok thank u for the response!

The puff base is not milk color but its transparent but look off white when mixed with any plastic-sole shade the color changes and becomes dull black turns grey so on printers use opaque shades to get good result mixing should be perfect as the manufacture recommends that vert important print the same plain shade as under-base print the puff then again print the same under-base shade on top of the puff and cure test and see the results.

Hey, we now get them from Screen Print World using discount code CRP5.

Hey, not on puff in case we push down and flatten it.

Hey, waterbased inks tend to be around 165 degrees Celsius after the water has evaporated from the garment. I have a really in depth video about curing ink on the channel too, Any questions or topics you want us to cover make sure you use #printerscorner as we are about to start answering questions in more depth 🤓

Hey, you can add a stretch additive... I haven't personally needed to yet but that is what other printers do

Hey, I suppose so. It would likely puff in a different way over seams than over normal un-interrupted fabric though.
