Appreciate the advice. I have learned to do that and now I do that every chance I get. Wherever I can fit a design, I'll fit it!. Sometimes the screen will be way off to one side, but as long as it's doable, you can save time and money. Thx.
I agree with how difficult this process is! My dad and bros had to have the screen printing business in 90's and every single step used to be done manually and was very time consuming. I have seen them struggling if any single step used to go wrong. Technology has modernize screen printing in much much better way these days.
Thank you so much for this video. This is one of the best video's that I've seen here on CZcams. I do a screen printing course and tomorrow it's our last class 😟 This is just like school: doing your homework, with this it will stay better in my brain 😬 Btw nice beats 🎼 gets you in the mood for screenprinting. Now off we go to screenprinting practise 😀Blessings and keep up the good work.
That glass blows when exposing... casts a shadow on the screen which acts like a negative, so you get that border you see. If you don't mind wasting a positive, a bit of pallet spray adhesive on the positive will make it stick to the screen without the use of a glass. A little old school trick ;)
Very informative! A friend of mine just recently started to go into screen printing. Im excited to see what he has to offer! This looks very interesting. Also whats the song you used here? very nice.
Good video, the only thing I would change is the leaving ink in the image when pulling screen up can leave streaks in the ink on the shirt. With a very tight detailed design that could make the image smudge. Doing a video on off contact is a great idea.
Epson is the highly recommended printer and you can search film output systems on Ryonet's website. I happen to have an HP Photosmart which actually has settings in the print set up/preferences menu that I use, such as ink volume to lay down (heavy) and crop marks, center marks, a few different transparency choices, etc. As for the transparency paper I use, I've been just using 8.5x14 Rite Film Waterproof Film from Ryonet (same site as above).
The best and clear video for screen printing I ever seen even without speaking. Thanks for the video. Is it necessary to apply the orange substance on both side of the screen?
I've have owned a screen print shop for 30 years, and I laughed when I watched this video, and was amused when scanning through the comments section... I started screen printing when you had to know how to use an "X-acto knife", and you knew the value of a roll of knife cut film... sitting at a light table for hours, knife cutting the 4 color print by hand...back then you had to be an artist "first" to be a screen printer... If you want to know how to do all the steps properly, you should watch as many videos as you can... Some videos will give the impression that all this is easy... it's not... When your first starting out, screen printing is "Problem Solving"... every job will have a different issue to overcome... art issues, screen issues, ink issues, ink curing issues, and even garment issues... some jobs will have no issues, and that's when you're "gettin' good"... good luck, from the "Flinch"... John in Clearwater.
It rigth I just started doing this with home made items and I started thinking how hard was it back in the beginning of this art! And ur right it is hard !
It's ProChem DPX Pink dual cure diazo emulsion I bought from Ryonet and the light is just the Halogen over-head exposure unit with a sheet of glass that came with a kit I bought from them. They sell the light by itself also. Glad you liked the video.
Not at all. Sometimes little particles of emulsion you spray out fly around and stick to the walls or tub, but just spray or wipe them off soon and you're good to go. Also, before reclaiming screens, make sure to wipe all ink off the entire screen. I use "Screen Wash" from Ryonet. Get a gallon or two and a spray bottle. Also known as "Press Wash" because you can use it to safely clean your press.
What is the gradient line on the right side of the screen and what do you use it for? Also, how fare is the light from the screen and for how long you leave the light on? Thanks.
And for designs wider than 8 inches, I'll print them in two parts and tape them together. If you can afford it, you can get a nice Epson that accepts a much wider film and even get your film in rolls.
Nice man. Although, in order to be really "start to finish" you should've included the cleanup and reclaiming process, lol. Overall, a well done video. I believe most people have no clue what the process is really like. They just think "slap some ink down, how hard can that be?". This gives a pretty decent visual.
I would thin the black ink with reducer if I were you. Helps with curing and has a more natural feel to the shirt. (Production Manager +Carolina Screen Printers)
Can you please tell me what that red/pink emulsion was you initially put on your screen before burning the image on to it? Also is that just a standard light table you used to put the image on? This video is truely awesome. Thanks for making it.
This one is about 16 inches from the light to the screen. Make sure it's 500 watts. I accidentally had a 300w in there once! So, 500w halogen 16" above, uv glass removed from the bulb compartment. I use a dual cure emulsion (Ryo RXP Dual Cure Emulsion) and it works great at an exposure time of 13.5 min.
Karlee Kordsmeier Actually coating one side with a thick layer that goes through the mesh is all you need. So it sounds like you are doing it correctly already! I will be posting videos on my channel soon on how to screen print more efficiently
i have a cheap printer and i dont think it will print on clear paper to put on the emulsion if i print it on normal white printer paper will it still work im thinking of getting into the business but im not sure if its something i can do please help
im totally beginner here.. what kind of screen did you use to print the subject?can you help me with this.. I want to try to print but i dont know how can i burn the image
for that design you can use a 110.. he used adhesive for the paper, and usually the platen is still sticky so you don't have to spray it again. you should spray every every few shirts because the ink will stick to the shirt and the screen thus lifting up the shirt,
Song is "Who's Theme" by Nujabes feat Minmi from Samurai Champloo soundtrack.
It’s not a song.
oddly, this might be the most informative video I've seen on this subject so far. Nice job!
Jon Harmon oddly is right cause I still don’t understand.
informative but not for begginers
Well done we work the same job will add me please I added you👍👍
somehow the videos so satisfying and calming
Damn That Is A Fire Beat. Kept my attention.
The background music really set the mood lol. I feel so relaxed watching this video.
Yes. Ryonet does a GREAT job with their explanations.
good vid, good music, i could print to that all day
That was a fkn SICK video!! Everything was on point. From begining to end!! Loved it. The music too....Great Choice!
Keep rocking it!

to all who are wonder what the beat is, it is nujabes-who's theme

Great video bro, love the music one of my favs from nujabes! Keep up the great work.

Great Vid, berry simple and wicked tunes n the background. Thumbs up y’all 🤩
looks awesome I wish I had this teacher. It's so clean!
i love the music in this video

Nice job Dave!
Very informative! A friend of mine just recently started to go into screen printing. Im excited to see what he has to offer! This looks very interesting. Also whats the song you used here? very nice.
Great video! Gives me a better perspective and respect for screen printing.
this song! nujabes
thank you for the video. I learned this process in the early 80's by cutting the film with a hobby knife and burning it to the screen.
For all those wondering, the song is Who's Theme by Nujabes. #rip #savehiphop
Good video, the only thing I would change is the leaving ink in the image when pulling screen up can leave streaks in the ink on the shirt. With a very tight detailed design that could make the image smudge. Doing a video on off contact is a great idea.
excelente video donde se observa todo el proceso de la serigrafía desde el comienzo hasta el final. Gracias Dave.
Damn the beat in the background is fye

damn hella clean.
Very cool vid. wish there was an explanation too. Looks like you actually know what you are doing unlike many other tutorials on youtube.
The best and clear video for screen printing I ever seen even without speaking. Thanks for the video.
Is it necessary to apply the orange substance on both side of the screen?
yes it is
Sick vid my man
love the tune!!! awesome vid
Nice work keep it up
Looks good!!! Well done :D
It’s so funny watching this because it has so much detail and each step is outlined but I have no idea how they’re doing it
Good video, I like the soundtrack too
Nice beat & Nice Vid!!!
Like the instrumental...Great video
The delicacy with which you are working is really admire able..

thanks for a little more insite.
The knife cut film I spoke of is "Rubylith" from Ulano...
John Grindinger, do you have any video's im new and you are so right, some job come out so good, and some are so back lol
It rigth I just started doing this with home made items and I started thinking how hard was it back in the beginning of this art! And ur right it is hard !
well thank god we arent in those times huh john
Already liked this video from the start because of the music
Thank you very much! You make it look so easy.
great vídeo !!! How you do the register key to allways put the screen on top in the right position ?
It's ProChem DPX Pink dual cure diazo emulsion I bought from Ryonet and the light is just the Halogen over-head exposure unit with a sheet of glass that came with a kit I bought from them. They sell the light by itself also. Glad you liked the video.
What song is this? Awesome
Good video and music. Not an easy combination to come by.
Can u screen printing on glossy smooth Aluco board surface,?
Aluco board is polished aluminum metal?
Will the paint last ?
Awesome video. an artist in all things design
Not at all. Sometimes little particles of emulsion you spray out fly around and stick to the walls or tub, but just spray or wipe them off soon and you're good to go.

Dope video. I just got my kit. I can't wait to start.im
You know you are a connoisseur with Nujabes start playing !
It's a very interesting hobby :D and also I have a question, What is the name of the song?
According to Christian Rabenitas' comment, it's Nujabes 'Who Theme'.
What is the gradient line on the right side of the screen and what do you use it for?
Also, how fare is the light from the screen and for how long you leave the light on?
Thanks.
And for designs wider than 8 inches, I'll print them in two parts and tape them together. If you can afford it, you can get a nice Epson that accepts a much wider film and even get your film in rolls.
Thanks HP, make life easier..
Dose one screen do for Small, Medium, large t-shirts or do you have to do 3 different screen sizes?
May i ask the light for exposure, is it workable with any normal light bulb?
Light bulb for home use, florescent lamps?
Nice man. Although, in order to be really "start to finish" you should've included the cleanup and reclaiming process, lol. Overall, a well done video. I believe most people have no clue what the process is really like. They just think "slap some ink down, how hard can that be?". This gives a pretty decent visual.
Can you reuse the screen for different designs or do you have to purchase different screens? Thanks for the video
Thank you so much...love from Canada... And how long for the emulsion on the light
what kind of tape did you use to stick the transparency into the screen???
I learnt something. Thanks!
nice and thanks 4 share
How long does the process take, including drying?
this song from anime samurai champloo right?
how long was your 500w light on for ?
and was the uv glass on or off ?
nice video. what kind of printer and printing ink do you use in making film?
what did you spray on the plate before putting in the tshirt?
Brilliant! enjoyed that, good video work, interesting subject and music just right what's not to like? thumbs up 100% thanks.
well done on this vid, really like how you showed the process. Which kit is displayed here in the video?
good good!! Be chear,thank you for your share!!
I would thin the black ink with reducer if I were you. Helps with curing and has a more natural feel to the shirt. (Production Manager +Carolina Screen Printers)
best job i ever had :)
Can you please tell me what that red/pink emulsion was you initially put on your screen before burning the image on to it? Also is that just a standard light table you used to put the image on? This video is truely awesome. Thanks for making it.
but for how much mins he puts the screen with emulsion for drying and how much mins in light
Where do you get the clear sheets where you first print the design?
How did you print the designs off like that? What software are you using for that?
This one is about 16 inches from the light to the screen. Make sure it's 500 watts. I accidentally had a 300w in there once! So, 500w halogen 16" above, uv glass removed from the bulb compartment. I use a dual cure emulsion (Ryo RXP Dual Cure Emulsion) and it works great at an exposure time of 13.5 min.
What kind of paper and printer ink you used for the original? is ethyl and common injection printer ink?
Great video Dave. What type of paper was it that you used 2 do the test print and where can I find it?
mmmh proud to be a screen printing ink manufacturer
nice..video
thank you so much
I've only ever coated one side of a screen with emulsion. What's the difference in doing both sides? Thanks
Karlee Kordsmeier
Actually coating one side with a thick layer that goes through the mesh is all you need. So it sounds like you are doing it correctly already! I will be posting videos on my channel soon on how to screen print more efficiently
can i use any transparent paper? or there is specific term for that?
what kind of paper do you you use for printing the image?
what is the last part u did? is that for drying the print?
i have a cheap printer and i dont think it will print on clear paper to put on the emulsion if i print it on normal white printer paper will it still work im thinking of getting into the business but im not sure if its something i can do please help
whats that u spray before placing the Tshirt on the board
im totally beginner here.. what kind of screen did you use to print the subject?can you help me with this.. I want to try to print but i dont know how can i burn the image
What kind of clear paper do you use or what is it?
Nujabes & Minmi - Who's Theme (instrumental)
Is it okay to use "milky" film positives?
What is the container of the coating material for screen? It's just a two step process, appreciated!
what kind of ink that used?? plastisol or rubber?
Hi. That emulsion is saatichem? It's diazo? what kind of light do you use?
david, what kind of light to burn image and for how long? thanks bro
What mesh screen did you use and did you spray adhesive before you put the shirt down too?
for that design you can use a 110.. he used adhesive for the paper, and usually the platen is still sticky so you don't have to spray it again. you should spray every every few shirts because the ink will stick to the shirt and the screen thus lifting up the shirt,
why do u coat it twice with the emulsion?
what is the difference between this and the speedball kit? if you want to start a business which one gives better results?
Speedball = home hobby kit, limited screen sizes and limited options.
