Anyone here actually like the commentary over the top? I love it! Great video Cam, always learning.
Good to know. It was actually easy to do the commentary maybe I will do more of that in future vids.
The voice over commentary was hilarious and also very informative. Great job turning a problem into perfection.
Thank god, I thought it was a total loss.
I appreciate that you show your fuck ups along with your many successes Cam...
Thanks you. I constantly chew on weather I should be honest or make myself look like a hero.
@@ThePrintLife yeah thats a tuff call... especially when you know your audience is quite large (which mine is not! haha) ... at least you feel confident enough to even put your face on the camera, lol... I'm still working on that.
From my experience with Sep Studio, it takes some adjusting in the base, colors and especially the highlight white. If you right click and select film, you some times can see colors, like white in lets say what should be a bright red font, that you have to pull like 5% white out of. Using your mouse you can scroll over those areas and see what shouldn't be there, or what needs to be bumped up... hard to explain with a comment... I think this require a vid...
Congratulations on reaching 20k subscribers! You’re definitely my fav screen printing you tuber! Hope you find the motivation to keep posting this yr as I learn heaps as well as have a great laugh giggle watching u! Peace out!
Thank you. The motivation to create content for youtube will always be there, the only thing that will change is the frequency.
I bought a cheap $30 dehumidifier from amazon for my dark room and it stopped my sticky screen issues. Helps the screens dry a lil quicker too. I should add my dark room is small (5x10) so make sure you get the appropriate size unit.
Nice I gonna get one, I'm going to remodel the dark room soon.
don't know if this sounds off but seeing something go wrong for you but you still make it and finish the job makes me feel better about any mistakes I encounter 👌 you're channel is awesome too
Things go wrong all the time for us, and we have to adjust constantly. It's all good and seems to be the name of the game.
The new Separation Studio 4 looks fantastic and easier to use and you can print directly from the app. There are several short videos of it on u-tube.
I just finished the trial of separation studio and it wasn’t for me.
I have been using T Seps for years and love it. If you are comfortable working it photoshop T seps will be really easy to pick up and you have a lot of control of the different channels. I think T seps has a free trial you should give it a shot.
Thanks for all the videos! Always fun and informational.
Agree T seps is what I currently use, It has been good for along time but I kinda feel like its dated.
Another great video! I've learned a LOT from you 🔥.
Mostly what not to do.
That video comparing separation software would be great. I have UltraSeps now, but I don't have much experience with it. I've been watching videos on Separation Studio 4 lately and it seems nice too.
I have both, never much cared for UltraSeps, but Sep Studio is promising if I can figure out a few issues I'm currently having with it.
The new separation studio 4 is awesome
Like the commentary.. I use sepstudio but have really liked the results and control I have pulling colors and separating manually - takes me a little more time as I create actions and so forth (which I'm working on as I go) but the results are worth it and I have more control - That said depending on the job I may still resort to the program. PRINT LIFE
Don't be afraid to change colour shades instead of the standard separation studio inks. I never saw that in the tutorials and it made a huge difference to colour accuracy and vibrancy when I did it.
Pretty sure your screens are too damp. They will take the ink off the positive, which then forms a thin barrier and makes washout much harder. Especially for halftones. Also ruins your positive. Sometimes you'll even separate the film out into its two layers with plastic literally stuck to your screen. Pretty stressful on a rush job.
You can rub the screen on the positive side immediately after wetting to rub off the ink before the emulsion wets out too much for washout, but it's better to throw a dehumidifier into your drying cabinet and store your printed positive films in there too. Aim for 35 to 40% humidity in your cabinet before exposing to avoid sticky screens.
Added benefit is super quick screen drying after coating and washout. I was down to 5 min drying times after coating.
If you don't put the dehumidifier in the cabinet, you're paying and waiting for the whole printshop to dry.
Hope this helps buddy.
Agreed a dehumidifier is gonna be a necessity now.
@@ThePrintLife I bought a 12 litre model - the rating is how much water per hour it sucks out the air. I also went for refrigerant model, so it has some horsepower. Last thing I looked for was a setting at 35%, as most go to 40%, (although all will drop humidity below 40% on constant mode), and a model without loads of lights so I don't expose my emulsion whilst it's drying!
You'll find with the fan, heat generated and dehumidification that your screens in a cabinet will dry SO BLOODY FAST! I only run mine just before I need to expose, so hardly run it each day. I'd never go back to air dry - so fast and convenient.
Agree, we swapped two colors on our last 5 color print to get the look we needed.
I’m currently trying to figure out simple seps macro for coreldraw. Thanks for the share.
Hi, I use Illustrator and Photoshop for my arwork. I do colorsep´s in Photoshop an print my films without RIP-software.
My printer is an Epson Shurecolor P800 loaded with Marrut-ink, an ink contaning UV-blocker.
As I understand, the US-version of my printer has another firmware than the ones sold in Europe, so it´s a bit more difficult to use refillable cartridges on them.
Oh, btw, I´m living i Sweden and I have been working as an professional screenprinter for almost 40 years now.
Thank´s for your great CZcamschannel Bro!
How do you do your separation in photoshop? By selecting the color range and putting it to a new layer? Just curious.
thank you for the great videos. I personally have learned a lot from them. I tried Sep Studios awhile back. I was not a fan plus the price tag was too much for me. I have a very small family run screen print business in Maine. I use Coreldraw2017 along with advanced tshirts plugins to do all my seps and photo adjustments, The prices aren't too bad and the product is amazing. Keep up the great work
I must say I actually enjoyed this video, we missed you at the ISS
hey im learning to screen print - thank you so much for all your content. im learning a ton!!
Your bomb hat means a lot! I know where it originates from but imma keep that between the hundreds lol great brand thank god I am not the only one who keeps wearing it MLL&R Jason Lee
I actually like when you commentate over. Just some background music and it would be awesome!!!!!
Ah crap, Why didn't I have background music?
excellent job dude.
Sick Bronco in the parking lot though
i love your videos men your teching good
Great vid, as always.
Always love your videos, Cam. Any recommendation on what video lens to get for good quality like your vids?
What’s inside the deep tank sir? Is thank water or chemical? And for what?
Using separation studio 4, the new version has accurip built into the program
I saw that, I still prefer using my registration marks for now, are you using it for spot color jobs as well?
@@ThePrintLife Yeah the spot process and simulated process are both super easy with it, as long as your art is correct, you can add an under base trap and mix spot color with halftone on same screen. Its nice to be able to print a true spot color and halftone on the same screen with out extra art time. I also don't like the registration marks/ centerline it offers so i turn that off and in illustrator just make my own using the registration spot color so it shows up on my films.
Cam.. I’m a newbie to screen printing and find your videos very helpful. I need help with graphic work and halftones. Do you guys provide service in this area? Please let me know
Monument Limited does awesome work, Cam will not let you down!
I’m trying to understand this process more and I apologize for my dumb question . How do the different color screens know where the colors go on the rose. Are the screens different in detail. How does the green go where it’s suppose to be and other colors as well. Thanks again
Do you use multiple screen sizes? How big are your canvases and how big are your cribs?
I am working for a screen printing shop and one of our heads is broken on our automatic press. We need to be able to print green but cannot use a green screen. Do you have any tips on how to make green doing a wet on wet process?
Did you check out Slobbys World? He's pretty big on 80's and 90's Tees as well.
I did, it was awesome.
Love the video man👍
Thank you Daniel.
Hi Cam. Thanks again for your videos !
Did you use separation studio for this design ? If so, how did you do to have a black color (because usualy there is a white color but no black) ?
It would be great if you could make a video (or explain your method) on how to use separation studio to print on a light shirt.
Thank you !
After I get the hand of it I will make a rundown vid.
That would be great! ;)
Hey what up? What happened to the trilock? I see you still use the bracket in the exposure unit. The pallet dosent work with the new press?
It dose work but we have found that traditional is still faster right now becouse we have not found the best pre reg option yet. We will get it figured out and I will share with you.
what is the best separating software you think now?
awseome
Hi cam, thanks again for uploading great video. I have learned a lot from your channel.
wanted to ask what is your pallet size and what size Frame you use?
pallet 16x22, auto sized frame 24x36
I separate manually in photoshop. No issues.
Z - Rod TM how
@@Mmmaaarrrrkk through the channels.
@@ZROD can you go into more detail?
Like do you just select the color range then separate that into layers? Or do you actually use the channel window somehow to separate it? If you could recommend a tutorial I’d appreciate it. I do all my graphics works in photoshop and illustrator but get kinda lost when it comes to translating it over to the screen print world.
@@RookieMistakeYT yeah it's kinda hard to explain. Color range, channels, adjustments etc. Gotta use alot of trial and error. I now have actions that do it for me
@@ZROD any chance you’d be willing to share? 😬🤞🏼🤞🏼
LMAO AT THE DING DONG, DING DONG, DING DONG INTRO!
My twitches show up everywhere.
which printer do you have used to print design into film paper? Epson but model number, please
I have a question. Why don't you tape off a lot of the screen area so you save time with clean up?
I don't think its necessary because ink clean up is super easy. however Liquid tape removes the need to tape off screens and that is very efficient.
@@ThePrintLife I see, thank you for the reply!
I'm slowly coverting my shop to comet white too...any issues with printing on the next level 6010 triblend?
we add the warp drive and low cure and it works well but sometimes we have to hit 3 godamn times :(
how to avoid to print the registration mark on tshirt? please help
What is that blue tank near the screen burning unit?
Sick vid as usual. Have you checked out Slobby's World on Netflix? All about 80s and 90s vinatge shit. They show some cool shirts!
Its the best show, Corey who used to work here grew up with that man, He was made for a show!
Oh word. That's right y'all are in Arizona. Dope hunderds hat btw
Hey Cam, we're using SimpleSeps from AdvancedTshirts.com because we use CorelDraw for our software...never could get the hang of adobe...
Which wypall paper towels are you using?
OH man I learned on Corel 8, Im sooo young. Great program but there is some value learning the standard and It seems like adobe is become just that.
Bro, peeps was looking for you at the show. Next time
Ah man, I should have been there. I will for sure be there next year.
Looks like you had yourself a jolly good time.
What printer did u use?
We use the epson 4800 for our films, The press is an anatol thunder.
Hi, I’m having real problems and wondered if you could lend some advice please? Every time I flood the screen, even without pressing down, the ink comes through the other side and bulges so when I place the screen screen down and print, the print comes out all fuzzy where the excess ink squeezes out on the edges? I’ve tried thickening up the ink but it doesn’t look runnier than yours? Is my actual screen not thick enough? Please help! :)
You have the right idea, Im wonder what mesh count your using but if its to low and your using a thin ink you will for sure have issues like what you are describing, switch to a higher mesh count then let me know.
Wow thank you so much! I will look into what I have. That could well explain a lot!! 👍🏻 thank you again 🙏🏻
I’m using 55T screens, would you say that the mesh count is too low on these with the problem I’m having please?
You still got the led light in your exposure unit?.. You were able to hook up the timer to it?
yea it works great now. couldn't ask for more.
@@ThePrintLifeI got a old national xp5000 I'm trying to wire up the same..
What’s the best starter printer and film to us to print designs for beginning???
Just pick up a bottle of pink stuff lol
Ultraseps all day bro
Bottom right corner at 0:30
Your facial hair grows fast lol
Was the entire print waterbased??
Just the under base.
The Print Life really! Is that allowed? You can print plastisol over comet??? If so that’s kinda amazing. I would think they wouldn’t bond?
Again, how the fuck are you printing waterbased with platisol ontop? Oil and water dont mix, but your having good results with it?
Couldn’t you not use autofocus?
I have been using manual focus for the last 2 years and it is a complete pain in the butt, and the image was always soft or out completely. Having auto focus makes shooting myself so much easier.
You turned a 5 minute video into a 15 minute video.
which one has a better micro betwen Antec and Anatol?
