I didnt even know you could do this with screen printing! It turned out awesome omgosh! Also your cinematography is literally amazing, Is there anything you cant do? :') hahahah Awesome! I fricken love it!
Thanks so much! There's a whole world of crazy effects in screen printing, this is only a small fraction of it. You can also take those effect additives and combine them in different ways to make something totally new, it's kind of crazy. I really want to go deeper into it over the next year or two to see what I can come up with after I figure out the techniques, the creative possibilities are endless🙌🏻
Hey bro with the puff ink when you print use the heat press to cure it it gives it a different effect you may get the rise you was looking for also. Good luck
Bro those all looked badass, but I love how dedicated u are to perfecting any and everything u do to get it down perfect and not just cheap out to get some shirts and stuff printed and get em sold. Deff adding u are deff a motivation
It gives me so much inspiration when I see you all pumped up even after a failure. It's really important and I really suck at being positive after a failure. But your videos make me wanna try and try. Thank you.
Using puff , let say a color print , you need 2frames of the same artwork , which on the first frame you will print the normal ink as a base ,flash it then print ( 1 or 2 times ) with the second frame which you have mix a little puff ink with ( same color ink ) then print again with the the base bright ink ( frame 1) then raise the T-shirt from the pallet before a flash , and here you go you will definitely get the result you are looking for .try ...
I appreciate your candid response to failure. Always pushing yourself and learning! Keep up the positivity brother in ink. If you ever need a shop hand with over a decade of experience to circumvent the overload, I could use a lil road trip out of Eastern Washington.
Came from the puff ink review, stayed and subscribed for the sick filmmaking, dedication to your craft, meticulous instruction and top notch hosting. Great work all around. I’m a instant fan. Excited to see you return to puff printing in a part two video.
Mix the puff base with a little white base apply 2 passes of that mixture and pre-dry a little later apply two passes of normal white base on the puff base and in the same way with the red color and then pass it through the oven and you will notice the difference Sorry if it is not well written but I used a translator since I live in Mexico and I don't know much English. I hope my explanation is good
Hey I work with Colin!! He's such and awesome guy to work with at Ryonet. Keep killing this Lee. Oh FYI your new washout booth it ready and your SR Drycab is almost done. Ill be shipping these too you asap man!
Your fails along with your successes are what draw the people to your vids... please don't ever try pretending you don't make mistakes. I honestly like watching your pre-analysis followed by your post-analysis... success or failure... except that I dont TRULY label any of your vids as failures (thank God for editing, eh? Lol) because the best part is you keep trying until you have succeeded. Your success may be in the form of a quality product OR in the form of knowledge and experience gained which you share with your followers. Keep putting in the fucking work and keep being real with the real people who are watching! 😎 "A tip of the hat to you good sir!" (Said by me, but in the voice of Ron Burgundy)
This is the best comment I've gotten in a while, thank you! I'll always be real with success or failure, I'm not here to fake anything because that's not who I am and it wouldn't help anyone if I did. Showing the good and the bad is what gives people an honest look at this business and what it takes to be a good printer 🤘🏻
I think it looked pretty good the way you did it. Shadowed out in the middle of the white and all. From watching a ton of your videos you'll get it figured out pretty quick lol👍👍👍
Dude, your job looks so much fun. Even with the trying, «failing», etc. You get to be creative for a living. Working with T shirts has been a dream of mine for a long time. Keep up the good work and keep posting vids, always educating and fun to watch them. Love from Norway :)
I have zero complaints about my job, it's a constant challenge and I get to create cool stuff every day. Thanks for watching it man, it's cool to be able to share the process with so many people 🤘🏻
Watched the q&a today while printing independent hoodies, also I have used the additive and for the 80s 5 panel trucker hat look its legit. Always tried to talk the boss into bringing it back in style lol. Keep up the grind sending love and support from Pa, Usa
For some reason, RU-vid decided not to send me notification of your video, on both my phones with different accounts...strange. Amazing video, like always 👏 bringing the good stuff. Puff is definitely something i wont play with, for a long time 🤣
Looks pretty cool but i get it...we want perfection when printing. I've always thought the puff looks better as the top layer...although my experience with puff has only been on vinyl side. In any case, thanks for continuing to share your journey and knowledge with us!
GREAT VIDEO showing your learning curve on this topic, bro! I have been using subcontract printers for DECADES (no lie) and NONE of them have been able to get PUFF prints right. I am sure someone out there may be able do it correctly, but "I" have never seen one.
I've seen a few people pull off some really amazing things with puff, but it's just not easy to do. I'll figure it out and revisit this to show everyone what I've learned 🤘🏻
Really really nice job with the puff paint 👌👍 It's just that I miss seeing the pit bike content. Do you still happen to have your just revamped KLX or did you decide to part ways with it?
@@leestuart38 I hope so because I absolutely love seeing put by content all across the media's, and if I have to be honest out of all the people I've watched shred pit bikes and favored, you rank near the top for my list
Ya this is just what I had here, I didn't know the difference before I got it haha. Next time we do this it'll be with an additive and hopefully better results
Try Rutland puff additive..10-20% max Don’t put base for puff part. If you are printing any pms colour : Hit one stroke (puff)use 34t mesh screen flash it until it puffed - hit one more stroke 43t mesh screen flash it again - one more hit with normal ink 62t mesh screen to give smooth finishing. (3 screens in total) You will get puff print the way you want. This is how we do our production. And for black- use the same method but use normal black on the top of the puff black. This way it will stay black not grey. Tint: more flash means more puff and it won’t die or come off
i done 3 colors with puff for that i recommend based flash print solid colors after that print puff flash for 10 15 seconds and hit again for 4 times light hits and master that print my G i done samples for juice world in the pass and all there prints are puff prints ! TRY high desnsity puff thats will work with one hit
I'm a beginner at this screen printing and you make this stuff look easy. the puff fx is dope, but i have a question for you. as a beginner of screen printing using plasti sol ink, what screen mesh should be using and what scrapper should i be using. you are an expert that's why I'm asking
Screen mesh and squeegee choices change depending on the job and the artwork, there's no one right answer. Ryonet has a few videos briefly explaining it, and I'll be making some stuff about it a little later
If money wasnt an issue...as a beginner starting out in the screen printing business...do you think it would be better to go for automated screen pressing equipment?....or learn some foundational stuff first with a manual machinery?
Going automated use a pretty huge investment, close to 6 figures or over by the time you're done. You should make sure you have the work for one first, and make sure this is something you truly want to do. So go manual to start and build up
This is crazy cool, I’m looking to try this on my own, how do you transfer a digital design onto the mesh? And at what temperature (celsius) should I cure it and for how long?
put some puff in your ink for the boxes! LOL _ lets see that! - I did a few shirts with puff - I liked them. I used additive from my local print shop. i think i mixed about 15% and the puff was great. I don't hate your design, it's different from your usual style for sure, and I think that's why you don't like it. Try using puff on your NORMAL style. You'll probably like it more. Good stuff. Love the videos. Until next time, Merry Christmas!
Question, did you revisit this with the additive instead of the base.? If so how did it go.? I myself am currently struggling to print with Puff and was looking for some tips. Thanks in advance for any advice,
puff paint is for arts and crafts proyects. some girls like to have little puffy details on their clothes like snow flakes, poca dots, flowers and all those kind of things. ...me.. I like my t shirts as flat as they can get.
Yo bro do you think you could make a video on using illustrator/photoshop on making a design as im struggling on this and its starting to get me angry 😂 thanks matt
Hey Lee, what printer are you using for your film outputs and have you had good luck with it? Your answer will really help me out, so thanks in advance. Happy New Year man!
@@leestuart38 thanks for the quick reply. I guess I’ll have to go with the p700 or p900 since the 400s discontinued. I was questioning whether ink costs would high on these models. I’m replacing an epson 1430 all black system that just keep fucking up on me. Was about to spring for the Epson 3270 though since my business is already growing so damn fast.
I would make sure your rip supports those new printers, I know the makers of accurip are taking an insane amount of time to update to them...I would have upgraded to a new printer already if they had. There's a successor to the 3270 that I want. Otherwise I'm just using the stock inks, I find they do a better job than the black dyes with this printer
@@leestuart38 i started with sep studio 4 and like it for the most part, it’s all I know. Ink costs per ml on the 3270 are so much cheaper than the smaller printers it may be the way to go just for that reason alone, not to mention I think I can get away with printing stickers and fatheads on it too. Would be a big seller in my shop. (I’m the guy that talked to you about Teeslanger a while back). Thanks for the replies, I know it’s a pain in the ass to answer when you get so many questions. Keep up the solid work and continued success in 2021. Oh, and fuck the China flu.
@@leestuart38 haha I’d like to think I would, but apparently I watch you and others, think I got it, and run through the mistakes myself just to be sure🤣🤣
What kind of emulsion do you recomend? Ive been using Chroma Lime for about a year and it isn't the most durable emulsion I have ever used but it reclaims really easily.
Thank you for the free files!!!! and thank you for inspiring me. Oh and there is a dutch guy on instagram his name is madspecials he does a lot of high density.
Nothing good comes from fiverr in my opinion. If you want good design and proper files, hire a pro. And transfers are decent but nowhere near a printed shirt
Thanks, I was curious if it would press the ink together to cut down on fibrillation. I figured it needed air to go through it. 🙌🏻 thanks for replying.
It definitely takes the right design application. This stuff can do some amazing things that I've seen, I just have to figure out how to make that happen because this definitely isn't the way 😂
Lee and anyone using Nu Puff.... I spoke with Steve Hedge at Wilflex a few years ago after not getting the results I was looking for with the new Puff Base he recommended using EPIC FLEXIPUFF ADDITIVE for better results. Good Luck
