We are just a bunch of punks down here in South Carolina looking to make cheap Merch for our bands when they go on tour, you have really helped me out because we are about to inherit a four color spider
Spray tack is the worst, it gets on your floor, in your house air vent system (beware if you’re in a basement), on your press, and most of all in your LUNGS!!! I got rid of my spray tack 10+ years ago when our heater guy found it all stuck inside our brand new ventilation system!!! I use a Textac wipe on tack and before every job I spray my boards with water and rub off the lint from the previous job, flash my boards and they’re nice and tacky again. When needed (about once a week) I put fresh glue down. It’s cheaper, and safer! You REALLY don’t want that in your lungs! I’m not sure why they still sell that crap product when there’s better technology that’s been available for at least 10-15 years... there’s multiple brand of wipe on tack TexTac is one of them, it’s very powerful stuff so I cut I with 10% water. A gallon last last me almost a year for 40 dollars!
Thank you for your advice ,But I seldom use spray adhesive. I use Tex-Tac water soluble pallet adhesive , I have another video where I demonstrate this(Screen Printing Polyester Team Wear) video ,I agree spray adhesive makes a Mess!
Also, do customers send the design separated? I’m new so I’m trying to understand. How do you make it so perfect? How do you line it up? Does the machine have preset stops?
The print looks really good but You shouldn’t have to print flash print the colors specially if you have a solid white base underneath. I not sure what white your using but just about any white out there for cotton shirts should not give you an issue in light color garments
Right but he said those were polyester shirts. He only did a print flash print with the white to compensate for potential dye migration and a print flash print flash print with the yellow because "Race Fuels" didn't have an under base.
The print is supper clean. But if you have a good under base you shouldn't be doing to many passes. It all starts in the art work. but still hats off to you sir

The way they do it in the printshop I work in they have already have measurements for left chest and front chest and they align it with the design that’s already on the film with tape and all you do is place it on top of it. Next is to burn the screen or expose it to the UV light for about 30 seconds when done you need to wash off the exposed emulsion . but when all that is done the press head has micro adjustments where you can align the frames with the plates measurements all you have to do this time is to test the cross points to make sure they are aligned!✨
Finally a shop that actually looks like a real shop. I don't know how these youtube channels have absolute pristine shops that look like their first day of business. By the way. Have you ever tried One Stoke's Colormax White? Best white we ever used for cotton and poly. No bleed issues on 100% poly. Used it on nylon bags with the nylon catalyst and never had any issues...well other than forgetting to preshrink the nylon once in a blue moon.
Great video but how did you know if every shirt was positions at the center of every board? If one shirt is off then the design would have shifted. Correct?
@@riteonscreenstudio148 That is precisely my point. I don´t know how it is done, and came here to learn. I see a pro doing his stuff, but there is not much I can take out of it. I guess if you are already doing silkscreen you can learn something to improve your craft. For a beginner it is not helpful. There are levels of knowledge and this is not my level, clearly. So don´t get upset, my comment was not meant as a disparagement, only a statement of fact. Cheers.
Ive never screen printed, but i would like to learn, im puzzled how does he know how to align the colors as he goes to the nect color. Can he see through the screen somewhat to place the screen where it needs to be?
Once saw a 12 color automatic silk screener using 55 gal drums of ink. 2 people running it. One putting the shirts on and the other taking them off into the dryer.
I have the same press which when bought had been taken apart. Because it was apart I decided to get some of the parts sandblasted and powder coated. My question is could you measure your press across the centre to the extremes of the pallet arms so I know how big an area I will need in the room I want to put it. Thanks
You need to learn how to screen print and use the proper inks, if you use a poly ink you will not have the bleed problem because you cure at a much lower temp so the dyes do not migrate, if that was a larger print with as many coats you are printing that would be a bullet proof vest...
Good video. Can you please tell me if I need to stroke/choke the white underbase (make smaller) or leave it the same size as other colors when doing these type halftone prints. Thanks
If anyone can help me how can you add different colors to the shirt like on one screen it's the background of the design but then you move to the next screen and the reigns changes and moves somewhere else on the design if that makes any sense
