Bruh your video was simple to follow, to the point and very well explained. I just purchased me a screen printing machine for my business I can't wait to practice> thanks for sharing you time and knowledge. I will support you in any way. K& K Carr Custom Printing Williamsburg Va.
Thank you for taking the time to meet this video and share this information with all of us I just picked up two aluminum screens so I'm i will be trying this
Draw backs, once ur Done, you need to wash the screen out. Alot of the times, white water base ink dries to fast into your screen. Washing it out, the vinyl comes apart or comes off the screen. Than you gotta start over. If u use regular vinyl and iron it on, of course with a nylon setting. The vinyl won't move when u wash ur screen.
Very true, I made sure to keep the screen flooded and a spray bottle full of water just in case it did start to dry. I used regular htv and heat pressed it to the screen but it permanently got stuck on lol so I never attempted that method after that. I would definitely do it that way again if I plan on saving the screen for future use.
@@Mrotg2u well, ya. Iron on, I believe if u reheat it, it may losen from the screen. That part I have yet to try lol. The ones I made will be ones I don't plan on removing so.
I'm not too sure if you are aware by now that some companies have what is called a light pad to help you weed out your vinyl better especially if you use glitter vinyl.
Depending on how much the vinyl is tact down to the screen but I have put out at least 12 shirts before it starts to shift a bit. Pulling is better than pushing to keep the run longer. Pushing the most maybe 5 shirts.
So what would you prefer Aluminium or wood screen ? And if hustle grind is your logo you use all the time .. what do you recommend for a “ reusable screen “ Regular HTV or oracle ??
Well I never used a wooden screen so I would say aluminum just based on my experience and the durability of the material. I haven’t really put it into production but i did actually heat pressed HTV to a 110 screen which adhered permanently to it. So It can be reusable. Since then I printed on that screen 4 times with no issues.
Definitely not a dumb question I asked that once myself lol. Depends on the type of ink used, curing, and application. Most water based inks are not as a opaque as plastisol inks so they will naturally look a bit faded. But the type of ink(brand) can also help with the vibrancy.
I got mines from ryonet over a year ago and It was costly. I probably used it maybe 6 times since then including doing this video because I have trouble with the burning the screens and I hate the clean up of the emulsion and plastisol. I recently bought some 160 screens and a few 110s so I can really jump into screen printing full blown, probably will use water based ink. Weeding htv is becoming time consuming and the feel on premium garments is not doing it for me. So more screen printing videos will be coming soon!!! Get on yours you’ll start to love it!!!
@@Mrotg2u I got one for $110 Walmart online it’s a big one . Haven’t even put it together yet . The hard thing is getting the transfer to stick to the screen . Wheew
With water based ink you flood the screen to keep your print area wet as it will dry in your screen and clog your image. With plastisol it’s not necessary to flood your screen but it’s good to do to ensure you’ll have even coverage when printing. Not everyone does it but I learn to always flood the screen so that’s what I do regardless of the type of ink.
More bubbles in that thing that jacque the shrimps tank. The technique of flooding needs some practice too. Don’t think you should be trying to teach when you’re not there yourself. It’s like an apprentice tattoo artist teaching the public. You’re doing great. Just concentrate on you.
