STEP BY STEP T-SHIRT BUSINESS [ 2 cheap t shirt press options ] Homemade screen printing press 

Amazon store is fixed.

HAWT DAMN HES BACK BABY! 🤘

My bud sent me a link to this site. I've always thought about printing shirts, but this vid has certainly put a spark in my brain.

"cheap press, heat gun, it'll get the job done" that's a really good t-shirt right there

1st time watching...Subscribed! Ur awesome! Great content, skill and personality 🙏🏾

Great Video Cam! I Actually built a 4 Color PP out of wood, door hinges, and a lazy Susan for just a little over $100. Its actually pretty cool how little you can invest at the beginning and build a pro business.

Great Video! Thanks and God Bless! Merry Christmas! 🙂🙏

I actually started out from ground zero with that Vevor 4 color system. You are 100% correct with having to tinker and retinker the alignment of all the working parts but once I spent time doing that, its serving me well. I started printing shirts for my tattoo shop and I am able to make some really good money so far!!!!! Thanx for your videos!

Hey cam just wanted to say iv been in the business about 2yrs I basically learned everything from watching you you have a great way to keep ppl intrested and just wanted to say I appreciate everything

This video is going to give me the motivation I need to get back into it. Thank you for taking your time to do this.

Thank you so much for taking the time, brother

Man I love your videos !! Very helpful thanks …

Thank god I needed my fix of the print life.....

Just made the wood home made press super easy to do. Thanks for the video.

i started with a home made 1 color 2x4 press made with a door hinge (not jiffy clamps). then i got the blue press on ebay. then expanded to a 6x6 from China. Beginning of 2020 I'm getting a vastex. I learned watching YOUR videos and Jonathan (Cat Spit) and Ryan (Ryonet) and a few others. thanks for the video! wish i had tried the jiffy clamps! that's pretty cool.

Nice man. This will help a lot of people try screen printing without having to put up thousands of dollars

The King has returned!!! I started out on an old 4/1 Silver press, good stuff as always Cam! Hope all is well 🤙

SUPER HELPFUL, thanks so much!!

Thanks for the tip with the heat gun

HOORAY, Our Spiritual Leader has returned!!! I'd almost lost the will to print! Good to have your voice blaring in my workshop again.

The assembly of that 4 color press seems daunting! That's why I had to make my own similar to the wood press you made. Great video!

Nice to see more content. 👍

Mannn glad i found this channel i have that same press and after a few prints and trying to always get it to register i just left in the corner....moved on to HTV and inkjet printing...but now after seeing this im motivated to try it again

dude you are the absolute man

Than you man! You are the best!

the print life is back good video cam

😄 love your video's! Just found you the other day! Searching for stuff to make shirts!

Great Video. I think the 4 color blue press will do a good job. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the video! Great stuff.

I remember being at a shop trying to do a 2 color print larger than the black flash we had and having to use a heat gun/flash combo, or moving the flash (with no wheels) to cure in 2 parts....I'd say a good flash is the best investment moving past 2 colors unless your confident on wet on wet

used to work at that exact home depot lol, new to screen printing and already love all the content!

"Let's uuhhhh ... let's tackle it eh?" LOL

Thanks for this videos 🙏🏾✊🏽

Nice! I like where you're going with this. Title and all... I see what you did there. :) Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the video btw!

Good information. Thanks

Good to see a new upload. Awesome work and great info. The award for most shirts worn in 14 minutes or less is all yours my friend. lol

Carn you are a Gem!

Awesome video Cam. Can’t wait to see the $199 press do a multi-color print. Good luck!

Awesome. Glad to see another video from you. This very informative for someone starting out. I remember when I barely started, I started with a diy 1 color press that I made from wood. Than upgraded to a used cheap 6 color 1 station that I saw on sale for $2000pesos (about $105 USD). Its a horrible press with no micros nor even an off contact adjustment. It's a pain but making work until I'm able to afford an actual press.

i have just got the same 4c press it was 120 eur and i got the same prob with bearings but i fixed it just by putting washers in front under that part with bearings and it seems like its ok now :) lol im thinking about just redrilling the holes. Can’t wait to see the press do a m.c print. :)

Finished building Press from the video last week. Waiting for clamps from Amazon and need to strengthen with more screws when get hold of a drill. Kristian said this -

idk why i watched this or how i got here but i like it. you have my like, sir.

Awesome video man! I'm super new to Screen Printing and this video helps me out a 1000%. Just so you know, I went to click on your Amazon affiliate link and it brought me to a dead page. I'm definitely interested in those clamps. I just thought I'd let you know. Thanks again man!

Good video 👌

非常棒，nice work~！谢谢分享

The best video that I see

So I started with that exact blue press! and ran into the same problems and more..the biggest is that the base was bent to hell and 1/4 of the hardware was just non existing.... Soooo with a hole lot of swearing and some backyard engineering it is now with stand and functional registration. mostly from just stuff lying around my place or at friends. it rocks now! so if anybody has one of those and are just about to kick it to the curb and go back to a lovely life of flopping whoppers.... hit me up. I I can walk you through or make you some seriously needed upgrades!! I would be happy to help!!

One day I’ll be able to make shirts on my own

Good!😊

Cheap hand made t shirt printing press vs cheap $199 press from amazon. Which will win the title of best crappy press?

He’s back let’s go! Come on Cam, post vids like the old days

Pow! Look at that! I think you got the formula down. This video is growing fast. Super jelly! lol

i love this video

Off contact never work for me in 20 years never like it but you're project is excellent for beginners

Lol! I know the frustration with this press! I am very new and I put this together too. Mine is the 4 color 2 station and I got my registration thingy (gate) to keep my screen from lateral movement by tightening it down kinda crooked on purpose. Otherwise it moves!

Great video glad to see you posting these, do you have any live shows coming up. The video marketing tool is an excellent choice compared to Blogging and having to worry about satisfying all those SEO rules and trying to get your info ready to go out to the public. It's a nightmare to do it right.Not that videoing is a piece of cake because you still need to edit and put it together. You do it very well.

😁It's so hard to find an affordable printing press ( 4 color 1 station /4 color 4 station ) that has great reviews, little to no "quality" issues or good features like micro registration. Im yet to find a top rated best list for manual printing presses at beginner/entry-level at least not on a pro grade level and I don't mind buying extra for great features & quality but $1400 for a start up small business sounds a bit much but if it's worth with the right stuff I'll buy it... Im not sure about the "Merchmakr" alternative just to throw that in there 🤔thank you for all the really awesome and useful videos I always look forward to seeing what's next on your channel

YEEEEEEESSSSSS

"Cheap press, heat gun, it'll get the job done" -A wise man

nice video and lighting.. :)

Is there some sites you can recommend for the flash dryer

You are amazing! I've stumbled across your youtube channel and have been absolutely immersed in your videos. I've recently decided to start a small screen printing gig out of my home for both small runs of my apparel business (I have so many design ideas!) and some other smaller runs for friends/family businesses. I'm definitely creating this at home DIY home press as I learn. I do have a question and hopefully, it's okay I ask here! Do you usually use plastisol ink or do you use water-based here and there as well? I started with whatever was initially suggested to me a few weeks ago and using water-based ink but I find even though my screen looks perfect (after days of testing and re-doing) that the ink still feathers and or doesn't get all of the design with my ink and squeegee I'm using. You had mentioned using a certain plastisol ink you liked in one of your other videos but I can't remember what it was called. Anyways, any info from your genius mind would be appreciated as I embark on this new journey. Thank you for posting all these videos and I can't wait to learn more from you! You are both hilarious and talented!

I started out with that same blue 4 color press.... it worked but was a PAIN!!!!!!!! was glad to retire it after a year lol

Maybe build a little topper box that has a hole in the side that you could place over the shirt. Stick the nozzle of the heat gun in the side hole and get an "oven" effect that might work better than overlapping passes.

Very useful info on building a press, thanks.

Bought the blue one recently for £78 on eBay here in the UK, shipped from Czech Rep and arrived within the week. I’ve yet to use it though.

So a realistic starting budget could be as low as $300 for ALL supplies (screens, DIY press, emulsion, ink, better heat setting option, etc.) If nothing else, it makes for a fun hobby with some side money potential.

Hey Cam! Great video man! I'm actually in the process of making the cheaper press as we speak. I have a few questions. My first question is how do I know where to my Jiffy clamp relative to my screen? Do I just measure from the end of the mesh(facing me) to the front of the frame (away from me)? my second question is what size screw did you use? Thanks man!

Always a fan of your videos! Any chance you make a blueprint for the cheap $30 press?

That Amazon press might be decent for one color live events

I have this same press but the alignment area is slightly different mine has like berings but I can't figure out how to adjust them I just used electric tape to fill in the gap but is still not solid . if you have any suggestions I would highly appreciate it .

i love you 🥺

Which font are you using on this print? I liked it and want to use for my brand if no problem, really nice video

I just bought a mint condition Ryonet Silver with screens for 100 bucks. One of the screens is still new.

im interested to see you try the milti color. i use the blue press and i have had a hard time with that. I also had a hard time bc of making the screens for a multi print also

What is that roll paper use u put on the table?

Ok what’s tripping me up is what screen frame and drama do you use and where do you get one

I'm glad you said you already liked the cheap 1 better. I bought the blue 1 to replace a homemade press. But ended up using the pallet on my old cheap homemade press

Do you have a link to the plans for making the screen printing press

Cam I have a super noob question maybe you can make a video on how you dispose of the chemicals you use to reclaim a screen and how you can do it at home.

Please make A video on how to Wash the burned screen without a pressure Washer...Thanks A lot, it would Be a great Help if this would be possible 😄😄😄😄😄

One your image That you printed in this video was trying to figure out how you designed the border of your lettering like that. My kids and I are just now starting out our new life Journey with screen printing life and unfortunately I purchased us the same blue press but trying to making it work until we can upgrade..

i really enjoy watching your vids. i learnt alot from you. thank you. im a beginner and i have a single press. i am dying to have at least a 4 station press. can you just give it to me? 😁

i have the multicolor press. im having issues with getting the screen adjusted. one side of the screen is on the pallet . the other side is up about a 1/4 from the pallet .. im a beginner and its frustrating . also how did you measure for your center lines so i can line up the registration marks on the screen to the pallet?

Do you have exact dimensions or another video on step by step printer press build. I’m sure I could figure it out but would much rather be certain if I’m trying to not f it up

so for beginner moving to multicolor , from $30 press. what press do you suggest ?

if you’re starting out, you should record yourself so you can watch yourself. I started 3 years ago and I wish I could see myself as a beginner! I’m 19 and a full time student but I run 1 auto, 1manual, and 1 heat press.I just started making videos now but I wish I started sooner! Also, join a lot of facebook groups to learn from experts. I’m always down to answer questions too so feel free to ask me if you need any help learning how to screen print.

how do i print the film lol. im stuck on getting that part done. can anyone help me

I like this video. For your next video, will it be a challenge to register a 4 color process design on that press?😀

Can you give exact measurements for everything so i can go to homedepo and they cut it

Those cheap 4 colors presses can pull off a 4 color print if you know what you are doing. The real question is can it hold up on a production run or live event. Would love to see a time lapse of that.

any links to the white ink you’re using ?

Long time no see

You just tape the registration mark before putting the ink/printing?

My print quality wasnt that good. i got some "bloating" on my letters? what did i do wrong?

What is the name of the clamps on the homemade press? Thanks in advance

Awesome video! Do you have an amazon link for the ink you would recommend, white ink on black shirts. Thanks!

Sir i want to such type of screens and it's spare parts and solutions

just make more than one wood press to make multicolors and reserve a huge counter space for just those things
