Thanks for your continued support.
Usually when printing stickers the inks are air dry. The way a multi-color sticker print works is when you print the first color on the sticker you place the sticker on a drying rack until the first color dries then you re-register the sticker and then print the second color then place the sticker back on the rack for a final dry. This process only requires on pallet. So a multi station press is not required.
thx for explaining the ink. many videos dont explain about the ink
We don't know of any pens that contain the same sort of solvent ink we're using in this video. Sorry. Thanks for the comment though :)
Thanks so much. The video helped me a lot.
I believe CRP solvent inks would work best. Inktech makes a great one. Visit the link in the description to learn more.
You should use a general purpose graphic ink for wood as well.
Hello thanks for this video, what inks can I use to print on nylon plastic bags...am based in Africa so most inks are hard to find.
Very informative, thanx. I have a question though: does that ink work on rubber materials as well?
All my questions were answered in this video. Thanks
Glad to help!
very well explain... thanks...
Great Video - I am a newbie to screenprinting - I would like to print on coffee mugs etc,, do you have any advice; a video? Thanks
+Chris “Sissy” L Hey there Chris, thanks for asking! For cylindrical objects like that you will want to check out cylindrical presses or pad printing presses. CZcams has many videos on both, check them out! :)
Hi! If you want such a machine I can reccomend you a very nice semi-automatic one. You may print on it any drinkware, cylindrical as well as conical and even eliptical. Write me in private, if you are interested. Thanks
@@natart4833 hi, am interested in ink for screening print ceramic. Please respond
hi . this general purpose ink was allow for metal ? how i can get it ? what other type of ink that can apply on metal ?
Hi Ryan,
Amazing videos. Could you tell me which ink will be the best for glass screen printing.
Ryan,I'm using Nazdar system 2 series gloss black on 1/2" thick pvc sheet material, I'm using Nazdar S230 thinner. After I screen a few some of the smaller numbers on my design fade out and don't screen at all. It's a 24" x 36" screen and I need to do 100 parts, how many can I do in a day and should I use an additive, how do you keep it from drying? Mel
Nice man, what ink should i use for cellophane plastic?
Top man, yet again a great bit of education !, Thank You
Thanks :)
Thanks!!!
Went looking on your website but couldn’t see past your pop ups.
Join the club and ask a question bubble. You guys should really revamp your website. Shopping on it was actually quite frustrating.
I’m looking for solvent based inks and extenders. I couldn’t find any but I admit I didn’t want to surf through 15 pages trying to see past your pop up. Maybe next time.
Good video tho. I couldn’t tell what ink you actually used as I don’t know what a general ink is when you specifically mentioned UV and Solvent are the primary inks and then say you’re using a general ink. I’m confused.
No mention of the screen emulsion type. Would it be different than the type used for printing T-Shirts?
+Vernon Steinkamp It is in fact the same emulsion. Thanks for watching :)
Would the all purpose ink on a vinyl sticker, after drying fully, be able to be put on a curved surface like a wine bottle? Or would it crack potentially
how about the plain weave hairy facric? what paint we use?
now we use PERMA COLOUR SOLVENT PAINT, process 15 coats but the hairy of fabric does not dissapear
So multi color sucker would need dry time before the second color? Rhetorical question, I guess I'm wondering if there is a flash option or?
Dewey Smith correct! these air dry so no need.
You guys rock the scene, thx for the great vids!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I need to screen print a set of game pieces - two sided . Each side a different color . They are hard Plastic such as backgammon pieces. What I k would be permanent?
Hi @Chrisann Zaubi! i would research an air dry/solvent ink for plastic (we do not sell this type of ink, but it's readily available). There is a range of options out there so you'll need to get the appropriate one for the plastic game pieces. Plastisol or water based ink will not adhere and will rub off quickly. Hope this helps!
@@Ryonet thank you!!!🙏🏻🌟
nice video Ryan ! Thanks a lot !
Would it be proper to use a multi station (4 or 6) machine if you want to do 2 color stickers so you could allow the proper drying time between colors?
can I use same emulsion as printing in plastisol?
hi i want to screen print on plastic cup what paint/ink should i use tanx
Im new to screen printing but have had real headaches using water based inks on plastic styrene card stock
I guess applying vinyl cut stencils to the screen may work for t shirts with plastisol given the excess material soaks away in to the T shirt fabric
but how ever I look at this the thickness of the vinyl stencil is way overloading the ink so it looks like the emulsion is the only way LOL
Steves Projects you are on the right track! :)
Great video. Im planning on doing some prints on acrylic glass. Ill keep you posted
Very nice! Thanks for watching! Tag us when you post them @ryonet :)
Hi Ryonet, These videos are great !!!
I am looking to print a logo on clear plastic film wrappers.
What kind of ink would be best for this and would it durable enough to last through being mailed?
Hi Ryan thanks for the video but maybe you can give me some advice, ive been having troubles cleaning the epoxy ink from nazdar,even when i use the correct solvent to clean up the screen the emulsion keeps locking in and the mesh is gone to hell how can i clean it better or how much time should the ink be on screen while working with it. as soon as i end to print i start to pick up the excess ink and discard it and inmediatly im pouring a little bit of solvent but the results arent positive. thanks for any advice it will be well appreciated it
What grade screen printing mesh works best with glass? or is it the same for different substrates? Cheers
Great video. May I know what kind of ink good for latex balloon?
+Macky Ombrosa Check out the rubber inks from Union Process. Give them a call and they can give you more guidance from there, thanks for watching! www.unionprocess.com/inks.html
Do you use solvent ink to print on pvc signs?? Do you have a video for this?
This would be that very video :) All the same process using solvent inks!
Can I used the Ryonet CMS kit to print on poster paper? Or so I need to go to a GP ink? We are going to be doing some posters on French paper shortly and would love to use the ink we currently have instead of needing new inks and chemicals.
hi i am new from Ethiopia my ashenafi , i wana to print on tishirt but i don't get the speed ball or good emulsion here in hawassaa which sub city addis ababa.... what do u i adviseme?
+ashenafi mekonnen Hi, please email your question to international@ryonet.com and someone will help you out! Thanks!
So I have been screen printing as a hobby, but have been making very poor quality stickers using only speedball materials and i used textile ink on vinyl. Needless to say it was absolutely horrible. I had no clue what I was doing half the time, and the end result always looked bubbly and smeared. I am making an upgrade to the Ryonet starter kit, and was wondering if that is enough to print decent one color designs or if it will give me not-so-great results. I am not looking to shell out hundreds or even thousands out on supplies as this is just a hobby in my house. Any suggestions? thanks!
Hey Michael, I don't know that the Starter Kit is right for you, I would have you call us at 800-314-6390, and one of our sales rep can put together something for you.
..which ink is best for mylar/foil balloons?
See now I want to make stickers.
Dewey Smith haha GOOD
hi
in there any thing to emboss the ink for card printing
and any effect ?
Can I use this INK on Cold Rolled Steel, hot-dipped galvanized G30? This is steel used for cable boxes, the painting I need is to be able to imprint all the HDMI, Ethernet features in the back panel through a silkscreen process. thank you
Absolutely Luis! Great question! Solvent inks are normally the choice for these types of applications, but the specific type of solvent ink you should be using is going to vary. I would recommend reaching out to nazdar.com to see what the best would be. We no longer carry these types of inks and they are experts :)
+Ryonet thank you guys
What about pens what ink type I suppose to use? (PLEASE RESPOND)
Hi! if you are still interested in pen screen printinting you may contact me in private. I will give you all required info. Thanks!
I just wanted to ask do you still feel the Inktech GP is still a very good ink for sticker printing? You also didn't add anything to it in this video.. I have my first sticker screenprinting job coming up and i'm not trying to ....up it :)
+Chris Pryer Yes, the inktech is still a good option. However, we no longer carry solvent inks. Thanks for watching!
how to print plastic bottle in three color
what is the difference between a graphic stencil and a textile emulsion? the method I have been looking at uses photo emulsion on the screen and exposure over your design to produce the stencil, but I'm not sure what method you mean by graphic stencil.
These processes are one and the same :)
Ryonet Thank you so much! big help to me!
hi dear,
I want to know, Which of ink can be used for LDPE printing?
Hey ASIK! LDPE would require a solvent based ink. You'll find that to be the choice for printing on most plastic substrates. We are focused on printing garments with either Plastisol or Water Based inks.
You don't need any kind of catalyst?" Do you offer samples of this ink I would like to print on metal temblers
Good morning Viktor! Solvent inks are very specific to the type of product you are printing on. Some of them will require a thinner, retarder and sometimes a catalyst, depending on the type. So, do your research before diving in. This video is 8+ years old and we actually have moved out of solvent inks since then. Lots of distributors still carry these types of inks though. Happy printing!
so it looks like a key for this is keeping your screen flooded.
+Oneil Mabile absolutely! anytime you're printing with solvent or water based inks, you'll want to make sure you keep the screen flooded at all times. These inks dry fast!
Is there a special Emulsion when print on stickers, vinyls? I've some print to do on Power Bank. The problem am having is that my emulsion on my screen kept < peeled > thx
Make sure your emulsion will stand up against the ink your using, so that emulsion should likely be solvent resistant.
how to remove the logos if u bought something with them on it ? is there a chemical to remove the print without damaging the plastic?
+E-ROC records Our spot gun and SR-97 are used to clean off spots of ink and would most likely work for your application depending on the size of the print. Check it out here: www.screenprinting.com/ryonet-spot-cleaning-gun-with-cci-sr-97-gallon
how to print pvc on cassette...?u have tutorials about pvc ink ?how to exposed?
+shahnizam great question! You would print on cassettes in the same way you would print on other substrates, you may just need to fashion a custom screen if the cassette is an odd shape. But if it's flat you can follow the directions on this video to a T :)
Great videos, could you help me with which ink will be the best for plastic cup screen printing?
Thank you! You'll need to use a solvent ink for printing on plastics. Check with Nazdar on what they recommend. Likely the ADE series but we don't currently offer any solvent based inks.
@@Ryonet Easier said than done. Wish you still sold solvent ink. It is ridiculously hard to find. I am giving up.
Great video. I am trying to screen print on an acoustic guitar which has a coat of varnish on it (like most of them). I live in the UK and we don't get Inktech ink here. Which type of ink would you suggest I use with my screen? and how should I clean it after?
Ciro Lucio Reynoso nazdar inks would be a good option, I also believe they have graphic ink cleaners too.
HEY SO I PRINT ON WOOD CAN I USE WATER BASE .OR SHOULD I USE PLASTISOL.
Water based works great :) Here's a video Ryan did on it too!
czcams.com/video/VIS4-MHcDqs/video.html
What is your micron count with your mesh?
Should 48 or 55 make a difference in clogging the screen? Thanks!
No matter which mesh you use you'll end up with the choking issue.
What ink should I buy if I want to get a metallic gold print on glass?
I want an air dry solvent if possible
+DJRABBEATS You'd definitely need a solvent ink. We no longer carry solvent inks, but you might check out a company called Nazdar. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!!! Keep up the awesome videos!
thank you ryonet
Shivaji Bane you got it!
What ink should I use if i want to print on glass? I can't find any.
enthone 50 series is a epoxy ink. works great on glass.
Just make sure to get an air dry catalyst unless you have a forced air dryer.
Ok, many thanks
What do you mean when you say "you need a good amount of off contact" when graphic printing.?
Depending on the ink that you decide to go with, you will need to adjust your off contact higher or lower to make sure that the screen is releasing properly when doing a pass.
You always want to measure this with the substrate on your platen to assure that you have proper off contact.
Question, I would like to print on glass that is already vertically installed would inktech ink still be okay to use with the thinner? Also is there any ink that is almost glue based that if I print it down on glass and let it get tacky, that I may be abe to place gold leaf over it? I have some projects coming up trying to see what will work best. Thanks!
Yassaira Torres The same ink would work, also Nazdar ink would work, its just not as easy if you are printing vertically :)
Hey great vid so I've been printing tees for awhile now and want to start printing on blank skateboards can you please suggest the proper ink I would need (air dry). Thanks
sbaja280 I would suggest a solvent ink called GLE or Gloss Enamel, if you are in the US we sell this ink, it is called Inktech, if you are out of the US this is what you want to look for.
what about if i want to print a 2 color design using this process? how can i dry it fast enough to print multiples at a time using a 4 color 1 station.?
It will be very similar to doing a multicolor water based design on paper. You will simply want to put some holders in place to keep your registration between colors. This video will help :)

Hey so what if i want to print on a glass window or door, how do i go about it and what ink would you recommend?
collodi I would actually recommend Vinyl application, if you want to print it, I would try and lay the glass flat and then print, I have known some people to print sideways on glass or walls but it is not easy. R
Hi
im printing on powder coated boxes and panels
How much off contact is a good start point
Chip I would recommend about 1/4" for a standard tension screen, if your screen is a little higher then you could go down to 3/16 or 1/8" - Ryan
I don't get it. How do the letters get onto the screen to begin with???
+Rob I Check out this video czcams.com/video/kpN6kowoFXs/video.html
Hey Guys, I would like to print my own positives for my work, what type of ink would I need to use?
To print the positives out of a printer, and Inkjet printer is advised which normally uses a dye based ink. BlackMax ink is recommended as an aftermarket ink system to increase your opacity. It works in collaboration with AccuRIP:

do you know about pruning for sign painting. suck as a black outline on glass for gold leaf? thanks
I don't, this is the extent of my knowledge on this. Good luck!
Can we get an "ink" count plz
You can achieve this with the starter kit?
Yes but, only one color stickers and you'll need tougher emulsion like DCM Dual Cure. www.screenprinting.com/screen-printing-supplies/emulsion-screen-printing/dcm-dual-cure-diazo-emulsion-blue-quart.html#.UxScSqWuJGg
how can I print logo on cymbal?thanks
+Igor Cirkvenčić You would need a solvent ink, which is something we no longer carry due to it's effects on our environment. However, we have a tutorial from when we did offer those inks, check it out here: czcams.com/video/itXyMyafWZE/video.html
Water slide decal paper and laser printer
Hi I have a question from here, can it be printed on the acrylic surface too?
+MrD0remi you would test by adding warp drive and it may work. You would want to do an aggressive wash test you may have to go to a solvent ink. -Ryan
Alright thank you so much :)
What type of ink would I use to print on plastic Tumbler Cups?
You would use a solvent graphic ink from Nazdar
so what kind of emulsion do you need for these type of inks?
Hey there! You would want an emulsion like our DCM or SVP emulsion, which is solvent resistant.

DavidASVP of course!
what do you use to wipe it off in case of double image?
+Stephen Biko do you mean removing mistakes when printing on glass?
+Ryonet yaa..
Chloroplast inks would work best!
what is the best ink for use on leather ?
Plastisol with suede and nylon catalyst added into it works well or our green galaxy water base with warp drive.
Oracle or 3m!
Why I dont understand why you flood every stroke
To avoid dry stroke which is caused due to lack of flooding.
