Keep doing your thing. Always great to see the different techniques people use.

@melissapalardy1299 11 лет назад

I love these videos. I have watched almost all of them. I watch at least one every night before I go to bed. I plan on starting to screen print after the holidays. I would love to make a small shirt shop in the small town I live in, but if I just do this for family and friends that will be ok. Love the videos

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

I use paper rags towels for industrial use as well as regular paper towels from Costco. The plastisol ink solvents are "ink wash" and "press wash." I’m pretty sure this video explains the uses. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

@richardserzy2376 9 лет назад

Jonathan, I did my first paid screen-print job tonight! (well this morning 1:17 AM) There is a learning curve switching over to plastisol inks from water-based inks! I bought out this print shop and I have so many chemicals I don't know where to start. They all have letters and numbers for names. I found that you can't use water with PW4 very well so IR4 seems to be a better fit for my lazy self. If I don't have any out there I'm going to have to stop by your website. Thanks for the video!

@CatspitProductions 9 лет назад

LOL, yes I suppose that could be difficult to sort out. But at least you have a head start with working in water based first. If you need any help give me a call. I'll do my best. And you're very welcome. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

@CatspitProductions 13 лет назад

@eskolitt Maybe a similar technique but as water based inks tend to get tacky and sticky fast when in thin layers, I might use a slightly damp rag to wipe them out first and then use water. But you can also use a solvent because the haze is most likely dried ink left on the emulsion. It can leave a thin stain or film. Perhaps a little thinner on a rag would remove the ink haze after the screen dries of water. Glad you like the videos! Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Same procedure but you’ll need to use a solvent for water based inks. Press wash and screen wash for water based ink would work well. Not all plastisol solvents will work well with water based but some do. Paint thinner is always good for water based as well. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Thanks, glad you like my videos. I’m not sure it may be ruined if it dried in the mesh. Try paint thinner or acetone. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

@Corvuskane069 4 года назад

Ok I know this is a long shot but what do you use to clean dry ink off your screen I just did my first shirt last night and I used a stencil instead of emulsion the paint pooled under the screen and stencil and I didn't clean it right away hoping you could help.

@CatspitProductions 4 года назад

If it's water based ink the screen could be ruined. Try some haze remover and a pressure washer. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@CatspitProductions 13 лет назад

@esante00 Thanks you. Mesh will last a very long time. When the fabric is stained and the fibers begin to fray, that’s when it’s time to re-stretch. Or when they lose too much tension then you need to do it too. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

@RandomArtz1 12 лет назад

Great video man. Thanks for your help and product recommendation. Keep up the good job.

@GeeBeatstv 11 лет назад

hi catspit, i brought my screen print the other day and haven't been able to make a good print since my first print. i think my screen is clogged up with ink. but I'm not 100% sure, can you shed any light on the situation? thank you.

@CatspitProductions 13 лет назад

@tourettestrickenshan Sure mineral spirits or thinner will do fine. But most people seem to want something that doesn’t smell too much and is friendlier to the user and/or environment. Also solvents that are nonflammable are a plus. I sometimes use an eco-thinner that is nonflammable and is drain safe. And yes, rags are way better than paper towels if you can use them. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

@CatspitProductions 12 лет назад

Thank you very much! I am so happy to hear you are learning from my videos. That is what I hope for everyone. Yes, reclaiming will remove the stencil and allow you to recoat the screen with fresh emulsion and start over. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@joahluciano530 11 лет назад

WHAT KINDS OF FABRIC YOU USE TO CLEAN?AND WHAT SOLUTION YOU USED TO SPRAY ON SCHEEN?

@jyhit 3 года назад

Also, what is the difference between All Purpose and Tex Blue emulsion? I didn’t know the nuances between what emulsion works for whatever ink you’re using, someone pls help

@CatspitProductions 3 года назад

I'm not familiar with those emulsions. I sell Saati emulsions because I feel they are the best. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@yangt4 11 лет назад

can you burn your image too long?because i think i did. i washed my screen out and used the emulsion remover and i can still see the image after cleaning it. also i wasnt able to make a print come out. does that mean i burnt it too long or too short?

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Nice, thank you! Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Too little information, but if the ink is water based it may be clogged. I would take a snap shot and post this question to the Catspit forum and add as much detail about what you are doing and what you are using. The link is on my channel page. I’ll be happy to help out if I can. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

@kevinbarbot224 9 лет назад

If you are reusing the screen with the same color ink, can you just store the screen with the ink in of the screen onto a rack ? Would i need to keep the screen image flooded to prevent it from drying out ?

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Thank you very much; I’m glad I can help out. You are very welcome for everything. Make sure to check out the Catspit website. Link is on the channel page. I would use the paint thinner. Is the emulsion exposed completely and cured? Because if not the under cured emulsion will absorb chemicals and inks. ☠

@ToughJourneyman 12 лет назад

Is there a specific brand and model pressure washer that you recommend for someone on a low budget; that will get the job done without breaking the bank?

@tourettestrickenshan 13 лет назад

again, thank you for an informative video! one question: being a hobbyist printer working on a budget, like myself, how do you feel about cutting corners on the chemicals? I've found straight mineral spirits does a great job at removing uncured plastisol, and its readily available - a big plus for me when a job needs done, and dont have a local supply house to attain chemicals. Also, for absorbency, ive found using an old rag or trash shirt to scrub does a FAR more effective job than paper towel

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

I’m not sure what is going on there by your description but yes, you can over expose the emulsion especially if your film positives are poor. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

@adamleighton4952 9 лет назад

Magic eraser also works very well.

@n0-one0 6 лет назад

Really?

@edd3055 11 лет назад

thank you sir, your videos have taught me all i know about screen printing the rest has been trail and error ha ha, do you recommend a good brand of water base ink solvent? I have problems removing a gold water base ink it creates stains on clogs the screen as well, I will probably try the thinner. thank you for the good work and detail that you put in every video they are very inspiring and educative.

after cleaning the ink do you have to wait for the screen to dry before applying the emulsion remover?

@CatspitProductions 9 лет назад

@digitalguideplus 4 года назад

Hello sir! plz. Can someone tell me that what is the name product which is used for removing ink. And what thing we can use to remove emolsion very easy. Thanks in advance

@CatspitProductions 4 года назад

There are chemicals sold for screen printing. There are solvents for plastisol inks you can buy through a supplier like myself near you. To strip screens of emulsion, you would need what we call emulsion remover. Check out more of my screen printing videos to learn more about the chemicals used for screen printing shirts. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@CatspitProductions 12 лет назад

You can try using screen opener but if it was some air dry water based ink or enamel ink the screen may be ruined. See my video collection for videos on screen opener and how to use them. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@searchinglife6122 2 года назад

what should be used to clean water based inks off the screen ?? would Speedball Speed Clean work , im worried about washing the emulsion . thanks

@CatspitProductions 2 года назад

It depends on the ink. You'll need to follow the instructions for the ink you are using. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@livelyp 2 года назад

wonder how clean these have to be? used mineral spirits and it has cleaned out 80% of the ink from the mesh. some still clogged. what should i do?

@CatspitProductions 2 года назад

Plastisol ink will not clog easily so you must be using water based inks. Once they dry in the mesh, the screen may be ruined. You can try stripping the screen entirely with emulsion remover and haze remover. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@infinitysunny8991 12 лет назад

what chemical i should use to wash plastisol and water based ink in order to use screen again?

@O2BIon 13 лет назад

Nice video as always. Quick question, what types of ink name brand do you use? When I reclaim my frames, the ink is very gooey and a pain to take off compared to the ink you cleaned with the dry rag. Thanks

@ToughJourneyman 12 лет назад

Thank you so much for the advice, much appreciated.

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

Yes, it’s called spot cleaning solution. It will remove cured plastisol ink but you need a spot cleaning gun. I have a video on this. Search my videos for “spot cleaning gun” and you should get it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@araitilyek5411 8 лет назад

Hello. Thanks for the video. it was helpful. But in order to remove the emulsion, what else i can use it. it is difficult to get emulsion remover. Is there any other product i can use as an emulsion remover? can you give me the chemical ingredients of the remover?

@CatspitProductions 8 лет назад

+Arai Tilyek You're very welcome. Glad I could help out. The only common chemical you can use to remove emulsion is bleach. But it will take about 15 minutes of soaking or more to do it. Then use a pressure washer to finish it off. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

@Hamidahmedalneseir 9 лет назад

@VicHightaian 2 года назад

how often do you need to clean them?

@CatspitProductions 2 года назад

Technically you should clean screens of plastisol ink after each use. Unless you plan on printing the same color ink for some time. But when the screen is wet with ink, it can collect dust and dirt. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

@CatspitProductions 11 лет назад

If the RhinoTech haze remover is too aggressive for your mesh you can dilute it. But it may also mean your mesh is old. Unless we are talking about new mesh. Thanks much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

@CatspitProductions 12 лет назад

Not really. Any halfway decent pressure washer of 1500 psi or so should work fine. If you plan on doing a lot of screens then you might want an industrial unit but for print at home purposes you can see a listing of pressure washers from Amazon.com that I suggest as examples. There’s also a bit of info there for you about it. Look under the Equipment Sales tab of the navigation and click on Pressure Washers. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@djsamiauto 11 лет назад

Do you mix your cleaning solution with water too? The ink is breaking up waaay better then my soulution.

@EloteCakeArt 9 лет назад

So it is necessary for plastisol ink to use ink remover for it to come out? I tried to clean mine with just water and it turned out really bad :( I guess that's a beginner's mistake

@aboutmillions 8 лет назад

Sometimes when i clean ink off of my screens the emulsion will start to crack and mess up the stencil, does that mean i should expose it a little longer after i wash out the stencil before printing? Just to harden the emulsion?

@CatspitProductions 8 лет назад

+franchisejr15 Possibly, yes. Unless you are using the wrong emulsion for the ink you are printing. But yes, under exposures will make screens break down easy and could possibly make them unable to be reclaimed. Make sure your emulsion is fully cured and that you're using emulsion for plastisol or water based inks specifically. Thanks for watching.

whats the solvent called again sir?

@DeweySmithTattoos2 8 лет назад

What's the dif between ir4 and ir5. I normally use the ir4 u suggested but your out of gallons.

@CatspitProductions 8 лет назад

IR4 is mainly for plastisol inks. IR5 is for UV, solvent and water based I believe technically. I see my product description is the same for both. That is an error. Basically the PW4 and IR4 are for plastisol textile inks and the PW5 and IR5 should be for UV, solvent and water based. Let me check on that and fix these product descriptions. And I may have stock for IR4. Perhaps I forgot to reactivate the product. I'll check tomorrow. You should email me on this so I can put it in my cue and reply. Thanks for watching.
