That was an excellent explanation! You present really well and understand that a lot of us might not know anything as newbies. I am learning to screen wood signs. I’m using Comet white, a water based ink. Need to experiment to see which level of mesh and whether I should flood. Also, I tried thinning it out a little with water and it “seemed” to work.
Thank you! I have printed before with water based inks many years ago and I started again this month. Suddenly the ink has started to dry in the screen after the first print which never happened before as I remember. I was not flooding the area so I'm pretty sure that's the problem. Great video and explanation!
Awesome tutorial. Love how you explained simply without drama. Wish I could lice half day class with you.
Thanks for the vid, I'm learning screen printing and now I understand what Flooding means!
Thank you for watching and the positive feedback!
I know what I've been doing wrong now! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Thank you for watching! we are going to start selling screen printing equipment very soon - so keep an eye out!!

Thank you, it really helps
how did you do that sir wet on wet without smearing the screen surface with the other colors
I'm looking at printing my own tees. Could I send you my design for some advice on what ink / screen to use. Thanks, great video. Liam UK
is that platisol? how come it didn't tacky on the next screen even it's on wet on wet? I always have issue on this
good video, thank you
when making the film print, is there a really good way to do it without using accurip as that program is too expensive for me at this time
how do you print multiple colors instantaneously without the ink smearing on other screen's surfaces? amazing man.
Jinjin Ichi that’s what I was wondering
thanks
how to prevent clogging on water base ink
Don't use water base dries fast use plastisol all the way more workable
Is there a way to buy just a screen head? That has all the adjustments up top. And just make a swivel at home?
YellowBrick Productions yes I am sure there is! Lawson screen printing supplies might sell you one- ask for Taylor.
Can you do a push stroke technique with a square squeegee or do you need a rounded squeegee?
Square or round, either one will work. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I just started screen printing and when I flood, it seems to push through the screen. It’s water based
Your mesh might be to low- try not flooding- just pull and print or push and print- or use a higher mesh...like 200
What mesh count were you using on the blue section of the flag?
Joey Satterfield - We were using 165 mesh I believe- Thanks for watching!
Also, what mesh would you recommend for printing words on wood?
What ink you use?
What happens if you push to hard?
Hi , I'm completely new to screen printing and i have a problem where I smear the paint on to the garment, any idea what I might be doing wrong
C.Foster try not flooding the screen- just put the squeegee behind the image and push the ink- if you are smearing the ink on the garment it is probably because you are flooding the screen to much- and try setting the off contact to the thickness of a dime or nickel

Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts crazy to think 15-20 years ago I probably would have gotten frustrated and gave up. But thanks to CZcams and helpful people like you I was able to get over this hurdle and some others along the way, and now I'm printing and designing shirts for money.
C.Foster well good luck on printing! Yes CZcams is very helpful...I watch tutorial for all kinds of stuff. Thanks for watching and the positive feedback
Is that a Plastisol or Water Base??? Its look neat and clean man. Mine wont be like that.
Hi. Thanks for watching and commenting. That is plastisol ink.
When i use plastisol ink, it dries in the screen very quickly. What you guys use to keep it flowing??
+Leo King hi. Are you sure the plastisol is drying quickly? I have had water base dry quickly but never plastisol ink. Plastisol ink generally never dries until it is "cured" with a flash or conveyor dryer.
yeah its a plastisol ink, dont know why but i cant get another print after 10-15 prints. it is soo frustrating. any ideas?? i'm thinking of using water based now.
+Leo King not sure what the problem is then- plastisol ink has to reach 320 degrees to cure...so not sure why it would cure in the screen.
can you flood at 100mesh? when i flood it, my t-shirt is a mess
+Curious Joe - Hi. Yes you can flood- try pushing less when you flood- to much pressure pushes to much ink into the screen. When you push to much into the screen you get a mess when you actually print. So try less pressure when flooding.
What kinda dye ? Oil based ?
Ekin Wedolasercut this was plastisol ink that we used
My plastisol ink is too thick to do this and my prints keep coming out like crap
hey man had that problem too. what mesh count r u using and have u tried using reducer in some of ur inks? some of the higher opacity colors are thicker and therefore need a reducer. gives the ink a creamy softer texture thats easier to work with
Print was small and easy. Do a bigger design thats when it gets tricky
