good to see you back - hope any health issues are resolved and not a future concern - peace
Gotta live with it but it better than dying from it.
Camoooooohhhhh!!! What’s good buddy!!? ... great to see you back ✊🏻
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is SO helpful to so many of us!
I have one of the blue flash's and i did the external sensor upgrade, works perfect after that, few hundred flashes a day and no issues since upgrade. Also embrace the DTG, find a shop nearby that does good DTG prints and it'll blow you away haha
this kind of video is actually really fun and helpful! thanks
Yes Cam, I agree that for at home small run printing water based ink is better. But plastisol is more versatile. With that laser DTT printer it is something I am looking to add as I do a lot of short use promotional products and it also does sublimation printing. I know for my biz screen print is only a small part of what we do, but that video was enough for me to see it works for my use case. I am glad you are getting back in the swing of things.
Holy smokes! Welcome back.
Welcome back and keep at it my friend
Thank you so much for the insight!
I signed back up for The Print Life Software earlier this week 👍🏼
Thanks for the video.
These answers helped a lot!! Shalamean 💫
with woven labels, i use a peg to hold them in place ;)
I really want to build my own led/vacuum Lightbox. Do you have any tips? Or a video on how to do that? Or could you make one for us? I need to be able to burn halftones and in my opinion you are the most trusted source out there. Thanks for all your knowledge!
Thanks for putting some personality back into printing.
for the next Q&A , Any daily mindfulness ?
regarding the fine line when exposing : when exposing the screen with a light source that has a somewhat limited area (like the led-based flood lights), the light sources behaves similar to a point light which likely causes the edge of your film to cast a narrow shadow on the screen, preventing the emulsion to cure. the closer the light is to the surface of your screen, the more you might see this effect.
way around this could be reflective material on the inside of the exposure unit or more than one LED unit to ensure the UV light is hitting your screen from multiple angles or as straight on as possible. the tube-based exposure units have multiple tubes to achieve the more head-on, full area coverage.
Hey, great videos. Always helpful. I built your $30 press. Do you have any tips on printing color on black shirts using that press?
Ive been printing for years dtg and screen print.Pros and cons for everything.
Hi Cam! Any idea where I could buy adjustable tension springs? I built a 1-colour press following your $30 build and just need to add some springs to keep the screen from falling. Greatly appreciate any guidance you may have!
I have a question. I want to try to figure out a budget to save to start my own business. I’m not yet ready to have my own spot, but I am almost ready to at least get up and running. My Arsenal is:
1. Circuit Air vinyl cutter
2. Circuit Easy press ( medium)
3. Speedball screen printing kit (the ones you can find at a local Hobby Lobby/Micheals)
I was wondering what would I need next?
I coat my screens 2/2 and when I switched emulsion it went away. (The lines from the film on the screen)
Maybe most people begin with water-based ink because that's what retail art supply stores sell. To get plastisol ink I have to go to an industry supply house
Your film is to thick, that was my issue when burned screens
CAM
What is actually price for your shop management software? Went on your website and "try it for $20" was what I seen as far as price.
Cam, do you still have that Chinese quartz dryer flash and if so, is it still working???????? Thanks
Some one just came and picked it up.
I got a question, how come ryonet bends you over on shipping for any any order under $200
lmao this is so true...had to buy a $1 replacement screw and they charged me $20 for shipping smh...even with things way over $200, they go crazy with shipping...my press was like $300 shipping
They are trying to incentivise you to order over 200 dollars worth of stuff. Shipping ain't cheep
Can I use your printshop software in the UK?
Not yet we are a year or so away from other countries.
Baby powder on the shirt side of your screen will fix the film issue.
I was going to watch porn until I saw Cam had uploaded new videos!
This is most likely a stupid question. Can you use a heat press to cure the ink? Not pressing it but hovering above it.
Never tried that Ricardo. Seems like it would take hours. Two other alternatives would be using a flash unit to cure or a heat gun.
Yes, works great... Put a sheet of parchment paper or Teflon sheet over your screen printed design press the shirt with medium pressure, at 320-350 for 10-15 seconds. Presto! And they are smooth as silk, they look great. Some shops finish their jobs with a quick heat press for the quality look and feel. Experiment with your time and temp to get your shirts dialed in further.
