Good video- but you're supposed to flood the screen with ink before you do your first actual pull on the fabric. (Just lift the screen an inch or two above the fabric and pull the ink straight down to cover the screen- this ensures that all of the individual squares in the screen are full of ink.) Also, for anyone that wants to try this, make sure that you do another "pull" after you lift the screen, you want to keep that screen wet until you were ready to clean it. You can also lightly mist it with water in a squirt bottle.
It is good for very limited runs like 5-7 pcs. The ink will push the vinyl off the screen fabric and seeps into the edges in no time!! An alternate method suitable for longer runs is to use the stickers to block out printed parts and apply ink/fixer all over the mesh that way you avoid film and exposure process.
Good video just needed a couple of things like maybe which side and what kind of paper to put between press and shirt. And letting shirt dry (how long)may not be obvious to some
This is awesome and you made it look so simple! It would be nice if you maybe listed your steps and tools in the description though. I am curious about what you used to fill the rest of empty space on the screen(the blue I see above and below vinyl stencil). Also how long do you wait before you heat set it? Wonderful tutorial though, didn't drag on, wonderfully paced, just lacking a few key things. Thanks!
I use clear packing tape. I also "pre" set the ink with my heat gun, usually a minute or two. once it's dry to the touch I remove it from the platen and immediately heat press it to set the ink.
This is great! I tried it but had the worst time getting the transfer tape off the vinyl after putting it on the screen. I ruined the design, ugh! I used a medium tack tape and then tried it with $$ Store clear contact paper which is less tacky. Same result. Any tips? Thank you!
You make it look so easy...I just tried this today at school and it seemed like no matter how much ink, or how much pressure, or how many times I passed the ink over the screen the shirt always seemed like it was faded white instead of how you shirt looks bright white. Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong? Using speedball white ink, and a 110 mesh tight screen.
Chris Pryor on dark shirts sometimes you have to apply a second coat. I would use a heat gun or hair blow dryer to dry in between coats. Thanks for watching hope this helps.
It really depends on the ink quality, how many coats you used and the coarseness/tightness of the mesh. 110 is more commonly used for paper while the most common coarseness for fabric is 43T. This allows for more ink to pass through the screen! Most shirts don’t need the finest screen, and the ink dries really quickly when the holes are that small
Otealua Jones depends on where you’re from. If you’re american, try amazon. If you’re located elsewhere, try to find a specialty store for screen printing supplies. If you’re struggling to find that, just google “silkscreen printing mesh” and make your own I guess 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah but you unhooked it from the clamps which defeats the purpose. I guess because it wasn't lining up where you wanted it to. Could be a disaster doing it that way but in your case it worked out. Cute shirt.
I have been using this method for 10 years or more and I have printed hundreds of shirts using one screen. I have also used screens that are several years old. When you wash your screens (do not let them dry even a little bit) use Greased Lightning and a very soft toothbrush. I also apply my vinyl to the back of the screen. You will need to reverse your image.
@@kinggreen4638 The dehazer/degreaser is used to clean new screens of any oils that may repel your ink making a spotty print. Because it contains a pumace it will also clean any dried ink from your screen after the run is done and is hard on the vinyl if you want to keep your screen intact. I don't worry about keeping my screen "open" because I never let ink dry on the screen. If you have to step away from a project, spray the screen with water. Over the years (did my first screen printing 50 yrs ago) I have tried to streamline the process and keep the costs down and the one product, Greased Lightning, has kept my screens clean. The ink will dye the screen leaving an image but will not affect the use. BTW, I am not a professional, only a hobbyist, but have printed 100s of t-shirts mostly for nonprofits and when I say I have screens several years old, I mean with the vinyl still intact and usable. I use Oracal 651 vinyl.
Make sure you're using the permanent vinyl like Oracle 651. If you use that 631, or any kind of removable vinyl like for wall stencils it won't do good on a screen.
You made that look so easy. I have all the supplies. I just need to jump in! Thanks so much for this video.

Use teflon sheets for heat press, you can get them on Amazon
Awesome job.
Please add what you used- I'm interested in Screen printing :) and want to follow exactly how you did it
Hi, good video. Can I ask how do you clean frame if you want to use it again to print another T-shirt with the same design? Thanks.
Wish you would have put some instructions on here thank you

When using vinyl what kind and do you put shiny side up or down on your cutting machine?
How long does the vinyl last for each screen? Also are the screens washable with the vinyl still attached?
How do you print multiple shirts without the paint trying so quickly? Is there a tip, trick or recommendation you can give me?
Good job! how many shirts have you printed with this stencil?
Love it ! What kind of ink do you use for this ?
What materials did u use
What kind of fabric ink did u use? It came out so white. I’ve tried white paint on a black shirt n couldn’t see it very well 😞
What material did u use and did u mirror it image where did u get ir screen
Congratulations, nice job, where I can get the materials for screen, table and painting. Thanks for the information, blessings

Good job. I like your screen where did you get it

How long did you heat press?
I have never use vinyl for screen printing, but tell me how difficult it is to remove vinyl adhesive off the screen?
Very easy
Hi there what was the ink that you used? Came out nice.
What was that inside of the shirt when you pressed it down ?
Where did you purchase the equipment from?
Where did you get the clip board to hold in the screen?? I need one please
So we need to press after? Sorry how long do we let the paint sit?
What kind of board are you working on?
What is the ink stuff
How to price all things? How do I get them?

Carlos Alejandro Romano Altamiranda thanks for watching! Here is a link to the machine used in my video. home.cricut.com/cricut-maker
hi, can I ask, what is that thing that u used? the one you used to attached your screen
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT PAPER NAME
I need to know what kind of paint do you use. And that cloth you sticked the venil on is of what kind?
Fadel Mousa Looks like Speedball Water based ink
What are this tools you been using???
Can I used any printer for the design?
How did you make the clamp portion to hold the screen? Also, did you make the screen or purchase?
It’s a speed ball kit
Yeah but you unhooked it from the clamps which defeats the purpose. I guess because it wasn't lining up where you wanted it to. Could be a disaster doing it that way but in your case it worked out. Cute shirt.
How long do you wait before pressing
What type of vinly is that
excelente muy bueno..
Nice video
I have a hard time getting my transfer paper to stick to the screen
I like your screen printing setup share schematics
Do you wait for the letters to dry to heat press ? Or before while it’s wet?
You let them dry a little until it's not that sticky and then you use the heat press
Links to equipment, or supplies?
Just google screen print start kit
@@epicscratcher5162 The internet search is WIDE, we want to know what equipment she used that we like.:-)
How to many vinyl
I just tried. The vinyl keep pulling off and in end some of letters got all bent . Any tips please? TIA
Kool!!!
Did You Rig This Concoction Up Yourself? Plus, Is That Paint Or Fabric Paste? TFS!!!
🙂😍
Which color
Very nice….
Can you use a heat press to set the image?
TheBree2407 Yes!
Is the adhesive from Vinyl hard to clean off screen?
Inspiring Minds it’s not hard but it’s not a method for long runs as the stencil tends to bleed
Yes you did that
thank,s
Ty you well done 👍 new sub ☺️
Where did u find that small heat press? It's perfect size for my small craft area😊
kathleen holland this is the one I have from Amazon. www.amazon.com/Fancierstudio-Coated-Sublimation-Rhinestone-9x12/dp/B01K3EXZF4

May I know what's the printer name ?
Not a printer, she used a cutting machine called "cricut maker"

And time is ??
About a minute just dry blow it before press cuz of the ink won’t be wetعمار المحمادي

Tried using Vinyl. For some reason the Vinyl doesnt ahere well to the Screen.
Make sure you're using the permanent vinyl like Oracle 651. If you use that 631, or any kind of removable vinyl like for wall stencils it won't do good on a screen.
