Glad to hear that 🙌🏻
What a legend! this video is a masterpiece!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Gavin!
Awesome job!!
Love this guy, inspires me to be creative.
Always stoked to hear things like that. Thanks 👊🏻
You are the absolute best screen printer on youtube! Amazing videos. You have helpped me with my new shop so much!
That's my goal! Thanks 👊🏻
Metal print and having the ROQ show it's muscles is good to see 🤙🏼
Can't beat that combo 🙌🏻
😱 those came out amazing!
Thanks!
super sick print !
Thanks!
I love the way screen printing feels over dtg. I design full color tees but I can never find someone that can screen print a full color design bigger than 16x20
Good stuff man, great content as always. I'm just happy it's all going your way now, you have been patient enough these last year! You deserve it!!!
Thanks dude. Feels good to finally be digging out of that hole
Good morning, I'm Brazilian and I follow your work
My man... that was a killer shirt ! As always nice work!
Thanks dude!
awesome! I busted my sim process cherry on my wife's cousins band Necrosis & Demonseed. Would rather be printing band shirts from now on love the end results!
That's awesome 👏🏻. I need to get more bands in here. It would make my day to print art for all of the bands I'm listening to in the shop all day.
Looks dope! 👏Love the challenge of doing sim process work.
Ahh, the dreaded empty pallet print. Nothing like the sound of the screens popping from sticking to the adhesive. Like nails on a chalkboard.
Everyone dreads the thwap sound 😂
dream art comunicaçao visual
Love you, Lee. You are a legend, and I appreciate your existence🙌
I appreciate you watching 👊🏻
Lee this is so proper. Literally executed perfectly. Also that art is 🔥🔥 this video is a masterpiece
Thanks a lot. Stoked on how all of this came out 🙌🏻
True Inspiration for the screenprinting scene. Also started a CZcams journey for german screenprinters 🙌🥰 love Ur content Lee!
Really cool to hear that!
Ohh man, this ROQ machine is so friggin' awesome - as your stuff you're doing!
Loving my Roq!
welcome to the club lee... more color, more better...
Love this, I’m just starting multi-color prints and I love it. This is dope!
Thanks man. Multicolored prints are where all the fun is 🙌🏻
Sweet! Love that beast
hell yeh brother
Nice!
Always excited to see a notification for a new video! That looks sick af👌 glad you love your new auto press after all that bullshit. I'm mostly impressed with your big balls though, doing all these big decisions within a few years must've been nerve grinding! Amazing success story!
Thanks dude. I've taken a few big risks and put in a ton of hard work to get here. Not even close to done yet 🤘🏻
Good morning, I'm Brazilian and I follow your work
Great job man, that print turned out killer.
Thanks dude!
Hell yeah dude
That was sick you inspired me to start screen printing
So cool to hear that!
Great video. I hope your business is thriving. Looking forward to some new videos!
Thanks a lot, we've been killing it 🤘🏻. I have a ton of new videos in the works
Print looks dope!
My press finally got set up and super excited to put it to work. Just waiting on dang Stampinator. The chain drive in mind blowing. Great work.
The chain drive system is the best thing ever. It makes everything about my job easier. You'll love that stampinator 🤘🏻
Good morning, I'm Brazilian and I follow your work
You are an inspiration my dude! I watched your video on branding your own shipping boxes. Got myself a simple setup and I will be printing my boxes before you know it.
Questions though. How much ink would you say you go through on your shipping boxes?
Stoked to hear that man! Honestly you won't use much if you're set up with a high mesh screen. I've been on the same quart of ink for the past year and I print a lot of boxes for myself.
@@leestuart38 Holy shit! I bought a gallon in anticipation... haha I think Ill be set for quite a while. Got 305 mesh screens as you suggested.
So sick, making it look too easy 🔥
You are our hero.
Man that auto print is awesome…
I love this machine so much
Sick shirt
sweet
Beautiful work! Funnily enough I saw the title and was mindblown, my partner and I started screen printing 2 years ago, and since our start around 70%+ of all our work has been Simulated Process since day one and my first ever screens burned were for simulated process jobs and our shop ONLY works with musicians/artist (primarily deathmetal artist). So it was like a reversed moment when I saw the intro.
My only recommendation for the art is to go to your base and HL white screens and select the Logo, and Album title at the bottom and make sure they are blacked out to 100%. I use Ctrl+Shift+M on Photoshop to do this, what this will do with the artwork is tell your RIP to print that section as a solid artwork and it will get rid of the halftone edging on your logos and solid fonts. Other than that it was a beautiful piece and the 55LPI on 305's was the def the right choice.
Man I wish my work consisted of metal bands every day! The logo and album titles were blacked out clean. The logo was somewhat low quality so it was a bit pixelated so that's what you're seeing on the edges there.
@@leestuart38 It's a passion, and has been a wild experience! Also, That makes sense lol, the amount of over pixelated artwork we see is mindblowing, and makes me insanely jealous that you get to print with vector images. We actually started investing in AI up-scaling software, and programs like Vectormagic (mainly cause Adobe A.I is foreign to us) to squeeze a little more detail out of clients artwork when necessary.
@@SevenSinsPrinting That's interesting, I was just thinking of trying some things with that. Some like Topaz Gigapixel looks like it would work well to fix a lot of that stuff. I have a few ways to vectorize them cleanly but I'd definitely like to try a few things that could speed up the process.
Good deal Lee! The prints came out awesome. Once you get more experience with the process would you ever consider doing some type of tutorial on it for those who would like to learn more?? Looking forward to the next video…Be blessed!
Absolutely. Once I feel more comfortable with it and gain some more knowledge of the process I'll definitely be making videos about that to help people out 🤘🏻
i do screenprinting in indonesia i like your videos... for me simulated its like art.. sometime i reach 8 untill 10 color...
Back to back Sunday video's, let go!
Hopefully more to come. Gotta catch up on all this work in here
We missed you 😩🔥
Metal all the way buddy. Metal covers always have the best (and sometimes disturbing) LOL, cover art.
The metal scene always generates the coolest artwork. I need to print more!
Братан,ты конечно крут!Я тебе завидую в плане твоей целеустремлённости и возможностей!Цех рабочий очень крутой!Но скажи почему ты и многие часто работают на 230 сетках?Водой печатаете?Почему не работаешь сетками выше и не 50 LPI,а 65 или 75 и 90 LPI?Ты же пользуешься калькулятором и камера мощная!
Any chance you can do a video on splits the art for sim process? That’s one of the most difficult parts.
I definitely will once I have more experience with it. Separations for sim process is an art form and takes a ton of skill.
My opinions is discharge ink 100% cotton fabric so great awesome hand feel less printing 👍
So clean man. Good stuff as usual! Can the stampinator take the place of a flash, in like 3-4 color jobs ?Or do you need both still?
Thanks man. You can use the stampinator as a flash, that's how I use it. I have it in the second head after my underbase print head, so the base is flashed and flattened for a perfectly smooth print surface for the rest of the colors. My actual flash is just before my final highlight white print head.
Love the result of your print!! ❤ by the way... what about your embroidery machine?
Thanks! I have a new embroidery machine on the way, should see it land at my shop in a week. Can't wait to start covering that topic again, the old machine wasn't cutting it
rispeeeek bang leee alat sablon nya mantep bangetttt, saya masih pake thailand wkwkwkw
I was wondering when you were going to start printing metal shirts 🤘🤘
Been wanting to forever. I'd print this type is stuff every day if I could. I need to get more bands in here!
@@leestuart38 definitely! Some of the shirts out there are not so good.
Great video but I would still eyeball each test print screen the first time just to check off contact squeegee pressure etc.
Off contact pretty much never changes on an auto. It might for hoodies but then it goes right back to where it was. The rest is set up when the screens are loaded in.
In my limited experience producing shirts for clients, a big part of producing great simulated process screenprints was in the separations. We'd test multiple vendors with the same art and get dramatically different results. All the best results seemed to stem from an in-house separations guru. An art unto itself. This was some years ago so maybe the process has gotten simpler to consistently get great separations.
Did you do the separations yourself or work with a specialist?
The separations are extremely important in this type of work, it really is an art form. I'm not very experienced with these type of separations yet so I had some help to take care of the heavy lifting, then I did some tweaks before I started printing.
Looks rad. How did the hand feel end up with this shirt with the white underbase? When my printer does Cmyk on black with a white underbase it always feels a bit like a transfer. And they use water based. Not sure if they are doing something wrong.
Waterbased tends to have a transfer feel since most transfers these days are waterbased. I'm a plastisol shop currently but I plan on making the move to waterbased slowly. But the feel of these shirts was great, super light and smooth.
no bloopers, that's a first :D
Went way too smooth
Yasssssss! This is revolutionary. No DTG for meeeeeeee!😂
DTG has its place and I'm a fan, but I'd much rather print like this all day
I see a computer to screen system coming soon with that film comment you made.
That's definitely high on my list of goals
@@leestuart38 knowing you and how you work to your goals I give it two months. Haha
hmm I guess I should lower my halftone lpi. I was trying 70lpi on a 305. I was using a diazo cure at 115 second exposure time (LED strip vacuum unit) but kept seeing people say to use a presensitized emulsion because less time for the exposure means less chance of light going over the halftone dots. I haven't tested my new presensitized emulsion yet, but I'm guessing I may get a 13 second exposure. Should I lower my lpi regardless? I am printing in my garage and doing my own grunge halftone graphics (not client work) because I am new to this. I'm just surprised you mentioned trying a diazo emulsion for halftones because most of the videos I have watched mention NOT using diazo for halftones given the longer exposure time. Why do you want to use a diazo? Thanks!
Diazo is far less sensitive so there's less chance of those small dots being lost during exposure. But you should definitely lower your LPI, 70 is an extremely high level unless you're using a CTS and have your setup very dialed. 60-65 LPI is about the ceiling for films in my opinion, 55 is plenty for most things though. I'll definitely be showing more about this stuff as I work out the details.
Is there a video or software recommendation for the separations? Which one do yall use?
Photoshop for stuff like this
Where can I buy shirts you designed?
This movie is really cool. May I know which software for embroidery degitiging? It it DG16?
I don't digitize yet, but I will be using DG16
You mentioned dual cure emulsion what emulsion did you use? Thought sbq emulsions were the fastest exposing out there with diazo emulsion the slowest n dual cure being right there middle n forgiving to use than the sbq stuff.
I did this with a photopolymer, baselayr complete to be exact. Diazo emulsions do expose way slower because they're far less sensitive, which is why switching will help me pull more detail. I should be able to retain much smaller dots with it. That's what I hope for anyways haha.
I'm still surprised you didn't rattle-can your presses black 😂
I'm planning a few visual upgrades 😈
I’d like to get some more practice at raster. I’m just like you, 90% of our work I design and its all vector.
It's a very different world. It's not my first time with raster at all I've done a ton of it, but definitely a first for this type of thing.
What's the reason you print wet on wet? I print simulated process all the time, but always flash each color.
You need to be printing wet for sim process, that's how the inks blend to create more color and different tones. It's a balancing act of seeing which colors to print wet and what you need to flash to keep things from falling apart. Another reason is speed. On an auto you want to get it done in one trip around the press for maximum efficiency.
what kind of ink did you used? regular plastisol?
Yup 👍🏻
What color separation software do you use?
Photoshop and illustrator
I’m doing simulated process aswell and I’m having trouble getting light positives is there anyway I can fix that! I’m new to this so if you can help me I’d appreciate it so much
I’m having trouble getting dark positives ** sorry I was thinking I’m getting only light positives so it makes it hard when I burn the screen I lose a lot of detail
What camera was it filmed on? Model and brand?
Sony FX3
A higher lpi doesn't equate to better quality , how much did you pay for your press?..... print looks sweet as dude
Higher detail is higher quality in my eyes
@@leestuart38 yeah buds you've got 4 years of eyes and I have 35.
@@deanscott4922 time doesn't mean anything honestly. The guy that printed my stuff before I started had 25 years in the game and his work was far worse than the first ever print that I put down. Not saying that's you, but using time as a measure of skill is meaningless in todays world. 55LPI vs. 65LPI is like watching a 720p tv and then going to a 4K tv. It's a massive and noticeable difference in image quality to even the average person. It's just a matter of printing it on the right shirt with a tight enough weave that can handle smaller dots. If we were just printing on the same shitty gildan shirt then I'd agree with you. I have a friend who owns probably the most technologically advanced shop in North America right now and they're running at 80-90LPI like it's nothing, the image quality is unbelievable. He's literally developing his own blank manufacturing right now to go higher.
Did you do the separation yourself?
I sent this one out but did some of my own tweaking to it when I got it back
@@leestuart38 what LPI?
Sim process printing is what I would like to print all the time, but 90% of what I do are Chunky Vectors. And I just realized that Chunky Vectors sounds like a strippers name🤣
I'd pay to get that lap dance
Im from philippines.. Looking for job as screen printer.. Can i work to your company?
bro everyone is on dtf printing now. all you need is printer ink and film, not those big equipment
you have
Crafters use DTF, pros are screen printing. The quality of DTF compared to screen printing is like comparing a Hyundai to a Ferrari. Plus I can print 800 shirts an hour with this, nobody is doing that with DTF and they never will
