Can you live well grabbing silk screen?
The Print Life hi
Cam, one of your BEST HOW TO VIDEOS to date!
So often your videos are fast forward time lapse and you can't really see what the process is, this video shows the PFP process with the smoothing stroke in real time, greatly appreciated. Thanks
Good to know I will try to mix it up showing prints more often.
Keurig Brewers are expensive initially, but I have found them to be awesome. I picked mine up in a thrift shop for $10 and am super dedicated to it. Pop in a coffee pods, press a button and your coffee brews in about a minute. No more playing with filters and coffee pots.
If you have access to a Sam's Club, they sell cases of coffee pods for relatively inexpensive prices. 100 count (100 cups of coffee) for somewhere between $20-30.
I buy "mixed" boxes of coffee pods off of Amazon/eBay which are a random gaggle of different flavors.
You can get tea pods, cappuccino, hot chocolate in all different flavors.
The Keurig has an internal heating coil which keeps water hot at all times.
The newest "Vue" Keurig can brew up to 18oz I think.
Your vlog is awesome!
Keurig is the way to go. No messing around with coffee beans or filters. Thanks for the videos.
I can hardly see the number
I love folgers 1850 coffee. We have a pretty inexpensive Keurig machine. We can get the 1850 in the Keurig cups however I have a reusable one and buy coffee by the bag and do it that way.
How do you line up the second passes so well? Is this just skill, or am I missing something?
Jura coffee machine (little pricer, but worth it) and Lavazza coffee. So good! The vlog is amazing, thanks so much Cam!
Keep up the grind my brotha wish you nothing but the best. Learned a lot from watching your channel.
Primo Hot and cold bottom up cooler and heater with a built in K-Cup brewer. My favorite is the Hazelnut Cappuccino, though on the road I get French vanilla cappuccino. It;s more like drinking a cup of hot chocolate with a different flavor, but still gives the caffeine kick.
I've been watching tonnes of videos for the last couple of months. But yours are the shiz bro!!
Go with BRC coffee. One of the beat tasting out there. Dont over spend for a coffee maker. A shop coffee pot should run about 30 bucks. Love all the videos!!!
BUSTELO COFFEE BRUH👌🏽🍻
Moka stovetop simplest shit. Makes a good strong cup. As for coffee find a local roastery in your area. Go in and start trying the various blends that they have until you find what you like.
Go see Rob over at Impact Printing on 7th Ave. next time you need some business cards. He's local and fair priced.
Great success always uncle. Very inspired. HEALTHY greetings.
One of my favorite channel
Here from Philippines.. keep it up dude
You Cam, if you want REAL, restaurant barista style coffee, you don't use a coffee machine. No, coffee machines are for people that don't actually like coffee, but want something horrible to drink when they have company over. 😉
Anyway, since you've shown me the way to print, I'll show you the easy way to coffee.
First, you'll need three things besides the coffee itself.
1. Bean Grinder
2. French Press
3. Tea Kettle
These are all you'll need. Next is your coffee. Your going to want to focus on Whole bean from now on, don't ever buy ground coffee again. And there's actually a reason for NEVER BUYING GROUND COFFEE AGAIN, besides the price being higher, and the coffee not being its freshest, the package will usually contain added fillers to increase weight, so you'll get tasty twigs, bark and other not coffee bits. Yeah, your basically being charged more for less coffee that isn't fresh and contains fill... No Cam, artisans deserve better than that lol.
Back to the brew.
Fill up your kettle with water and put it on the stove. While that heats up, you grind your beans fresh. Once the beans are ground, scoop out a couple generous spoonfuls into the empty French Press, then wait for the boiling water. Once the water is ready, slowly pour it over the ground beans in the press, then put the press together, and slowly push the press handle down (usually half way, then a few soft and short up and down pulls to mix better), let this steep for a few minutes. While it's steeping, I usually get my cup ready with some raw sugar (raw is the only sugar worth putting in your body, all the rest, especially artificial sweeteners of any kind, bad news.. Also, no milk or creamers, just god damn awesome COFFEE!). After that, pour the coffee in the cup, stir and serve. Welcome to heaven!
The flavor is better than any trendy coffee shop brew. It's so fresh, and just the way you like it. It's the perfect 5 minute routine to start your day around!
Instead of spending money on a cheap consumer coffee machine that is guaranteed to waste coffee, go Pro with this cheap barista setup. Trust me, it's worth it, your worth it! 😘
When you do the flattening stroke, do you just have the white ink on that blank screen for lubrication?
exactly or black ink, Black ink is slicker
Cam dude, cop a Bonavita if you want an automatic drip style coffee maker that makes really decent coffee for an affordable price... but if you wanna keep it even cheaper and also still make amazing coffee get a French press... you can get one $20 and just need to heat your water and grind your beans. Both can be done on the cheap. If you can, grind your beans right before you brew... it only takes a minute really but makes a big difference.
If you prefer less sediment than a French press produces a simple pour over carafe will hit the spot too, and also still be very affordable. Both French press and pour over will put your average drip coffee to shame imho and are still the cheapest solutions for making a good cup of joe :)
damn that sounds like a shit load of work!
The Print Life LOL... it’s really not dude, promise!
Screen Printing, you mentoring and a punching bag aw I would LOVE TO WORK THERE.
Willy Bwaman!!!!! wow what a movie that was. Greay video bro.
Lots of the same questions here. Explain the flattening screen. Is it really necessary?
Pick up a kurig ( or something like that) and donut shop is one of my favorites
Thaks EVA, or whatever your name is.... i will just call you another Happy customer. 👍💯 WORD! That's so Dope, B. Welcome to P.life. Where we print $.
few people will agree, but I prefer Folgers Classic Roast. I use sugar free coffee mate creamer only. that's just me. i am quite sure there is better coffee out there, but since I knock it down with creamer anyway, it doesn't matter to me bro. thanks for another great vid Cam-O!
yea I bought some dunkin donuts bags it's pretty damn good.
On the phones you could do a quick call forward to your cell while gone. Coffee maker in the shop we got a keurig. Easy for a quick cup and we use the breakfast blend. For Good Coffee I prefer the Chemex or a French press. Both of those take longer and you will need a grinder and scale.
Man I am digging it! I did screen printing long ago for a top rated operation and watching your videos brings back some memories and gives me some great laughs remembering being an ink monkey. I'm thinking about throwing a small almost guerilla (as in totally salvage and scavenge materials to diy just to see if its viable) print shack together so your videos are tasty knowledge nuggets of food for thought. Coffee! The machine is almost inconsequential but the bean is non negotiable. Here are my top three that do not dismay. Death Wish coffee company is my top dog and go to java. Whether its the Death Wish robust or less dark Odin force Valhalla blend. Koffee Kult, their slogan, Be one of us. After enjoying their brew, yes I indeed will subscribe to the newsletter. Last but not least Black Rifle Coffee Co. I like the AK blend and I love the homegrown youtube ass commercials. If you allow it I would love to ship some of my top pick to your shop and you see for yourself. I don't work for them but I like to support what i enjoy and spread it all around to all the others enjoyable aspects I find in life. Rock.
Hey Cam, thanks for the awesome tutorials. Saw you using two screens the first has a burnt and what is the other for? Is it just to flatten the ink?
can you make a video on film registration or what do you use to make film always line up at the same spot always. so I won't have issues on press! thanks all the way from Laredo, Tx
love this video!!! what is the mesh count on this screen?
As a fan from Canada...Tim Hortons coffee is Canada! Great vlogs man!
Thanks Ryan.
Keurig with the cups that you put your own coffee grounds in. And Folgers French Vanilla flavored coffee grounds is the best!
Hey! Cam, greetings from philippines, i really enjoy your vlog :)
I have a kettle on my desk and have an assortment of teas for the print shop boys.
I use coconut oil, honey, and cayenne pepper in my coffee.. sounds strange af but it's really good and healthy for you and you don't need any creamer.. or will work fine with the almond milk too.
i loved it! i will share this video to my friends... thank you!
I use a regular Mr. Coffee man. My wife and I got an expensive Keurig/Pot hybrid and it broke in like a month. Mr. Coffee has been going strong for a couple years. As far as coffee I like darker the better. But usually whatever is on sale, usually Columbian or espresso. Sometimes we will splurge and order some specialty kinds (Bones, Black Rifle, etc.)
Right on that is what I went out and bought, so far so good. I tried the Dunkin Donuts brand, it is allot better than the circle k pee pee that I have been getting.
what exactly is on the 2nd screen? is it just a blank burned screen?
Thanks! More videos on client screen print jobs!
Right on I will keep em coming for ya
I know this video was make long time ago but decided to comment anyway about COFFEE. Coffee smells way better than it tastes. That's a fact everyone silently knows. If you have some iffy coffee or just want a different taste try "Hazelnut Coffee Creamer" added to your finished coffee, not instead of milk. We have it in our supermarkets (grocery stores) here in Australia, but have included an Amazon link. I keep mine in the freezer so it never goes out of date. Try plain 'instant' coffee without sugar and lots of milk, say 3 parts water 2 parts milk, and cold, made with cooled boiled water. I find even the most expensive brand tastes like crap sometimes. Make sure you drink plenty of water as coffee naturally dehydrates you. Thanks for screen printing tips. www.amazon.com/slp/hazelnut-coffee-creamer/7ngm3jjozuyc9e9
This might be a strange question but what is that base that your press? I just got a bench press and need to find something sturdy and that can level. Love your videos btw
What flash are you using? Do you have any complaints? Thank You!
Hi, love your videos
After the ink is dried and comes out of the dryer do you heatpress it? Thanks
Where do you get one of those Squeegee sharpeners that you used in the video?
Cam so the best mesh for white would be 120 right? Keep doing what your doing print fam
I have everything except the big equipment you use. Do you need all of that machinery or is it there to make it easier? Can I still print without the use of that swivel thing you use? I don’t even own a heat press :/ I don’t have enough space in my house to store any of that
how do you like that chinese auto flash? did you ever find spare bulbs from it? back in the day i used to be into saltwater fish tanks...and bought china made lights for it...it saved a TON of money, and what i found worked well was swapping chinese bulbs with good brand name bulbs....and that made a huge difference. perhaps you can find some brand name bulbs and put them in the flash when they start burning out.
Carpe Diem Coffee from Maine!! You have to order it online, but its definitely the jam!!!
im on it.
I like the coffee brands:
"Seattle's best coffee"
"Dunkin Donuts"
"Starbucks"
You can find those coffee brands at most super markets. I usually buy dark roast or Hazel nut.
Hey Cam, It may have been asked before , but wondering what the sq. footage of the shop is, minus the office and what all do you have there? Just wondering if its just like 1 6/6 manual press etc. just to see what you fit . Thanks
What is it that you are doing on the flatten stroke? Are you putting any ink or other material through the screen or is it just pushing down on the emulsion?
Killer bro, cool of you to spotlight clients.
First of all thankyou for not using fowl language when you burnt your tongue, Folgers Mountain Grown and thru a Counter top Coffee Maker, and I use French Vanilla Creamer and it makes bad coffee Wonderful. And compliments on your hard work.
Have you ever considered cold brew? We use an inexpensive brand McCafe and we have a cold brew set up on our counter. The best part is that you won’t burn your mouth with hot coffe.
Hey Cam, greetings from India. First, what's that spray at the pallette @ 3:23.
What did you use on the second coat @ 4:30, how to expose the screen for that coat.
Lastly, pls suggests a curing machine for majorly plain plastisol ink and pigment ink for cheap t-shirt printing.
Thanks mate, cheers for the vlog ✌️🤘
Hey Cam! As far as coffee goes, any brand for me is good but the creamer is what makes it tolerable. Lol!
True the cream is good but I have cut most dairy, so Im using almond milk
The Print Life ah! Add a little sweetness along with almond milk. Good stuff!
what is the flattening stroke screen, it doesn't look like there is an image burned on to it but there is ink on the screen?
Sorry what do you use on the screen when you flatten it with the squeegee?
Folgers Dark or Silk is like espesso and put that in the blender with half and half, Ice and whip topped with more honey and Bam.
Where can I get most of these equipments to start? Or even cheaper versions of them👀
Wow, this guy's really got it together...got his business set up and equipped, and.... (has to leave to get crappy coffee) ....Wha...?
Hi, what mesh size you are using in this tutorial.. Actually i am not getting good quality results by using plastisol inks with T77 mesh size...Thanks
Hey print life could I use an old fully tapped up screen as my flatten screen push at 4.33? Or is it best to use a fully emultion coated screen with no stencil on?
I’m just wondering what the point of the ink on the push stroke is? Does it pass through the screen a little because it’s not cured or something?
Why gets discarded plastisol high thickness please answer me sir
Sorry if this is a dumb questions, but what is the purpose of having ink on the other screen (to flatten/smooth) if no ink will be going through the mesh? Is this ink reclaimed?
i was thinking of it too why put ink in it? but i realized its hard to use the squeegee if its dry, so the ink is in there just to make the squeegee slide i assume ^^ yeah probably thats the reason ^^
@@doymountain1006 Yep, the ink is used as lubrication otherwise the squeegee would trash the screen.
What is the mesh count for this printing with plastisol ink?
What mesh counts are you using to get the edges that clean?
I love your vlog...!! At 3:20 you sprayed and scrubbed the print palette, was that thinner taking away some old spray glue or were you reactivating some paint on glue?
I'd like to know as well :D
i got to try this brah. mahalos for the videos. learning a lot from it . shooots alohass
Hey what type of shirt are you wearing?
I would of liked a closer look at the finished print on the shirts to see the difference to just regular screen printing but I like your vids
Nice job!!
What do you have on the screen for the flatten stroke? Is it an ink or a grease or lubricant of some kind?
yea it's just flow base. Black ink works best.
The Print Life So the first layer is white, 2nd black and 3rd white?
@@keithorlando3306 There are only two layers. The first layer is white. This second "layer" is used just for flattening down the ink and fibers.There's no design burned into the screen; it's just cured emulsion. He uses ink (white in this case) as lubrication so the squeegee doesn't trash the screen. Then he comes back with another hit of white with the same screen from the first layer.
Cam, what shirts did you use to print that white plastisol on?
Hey, your videos have been helping me a lot with this. Have actually started this as a hobby. However I am stuck at curing now. I am using plastisol ink, but I can't really get a flash dryer so I just wanted to know if heat gun can help me with the curing?
Kurig and Peets coffee ftw
Try Songbird Coffee & Tea House 812 N 3rd St, Phoenix. It looks cool! Just looked them up for you, but don't blame me if they're no good, I'm in Australia. Can't be worse than the shit you were drinking. Love your work by the way!!!
Cam, looks like you are printing with an Antec Legend. Is that right? If so, why do you like it over other manual presses?
I bought it used years ago, But it is a great press because of the super light throw weight and the micros are pretty dang good.
The Print Life Awesome. We are just getting started and we bought a Legend. I know the press doesn't cure all, just felt like easier registration would lessen the intimidation of learning how to screen print. Anyway, appreciate your vlog.
Where is the best place to get the film
exelent inspiration for my onw proyect
coffee !!!, 8 o'clock Colombian peaks
Is that ink that you’re flattening with
Have you got a paid course?
WAS THIS DONE WITH A160 MESH?
Gotta get down with "Lavazza" it is a little more expensive but you don't use as much to make it and it's off the chain.! If you just want to go low budget Cafe Bustelo you can never go wrong with either but Lavazza baby..!! Prefetto Espresso Roast (the brown one)
Sounds good I'm trying Cafe Bustelo first, if it aint good enough for me then on to Lavazza. Thanks for the coffee advice.
Love the vids! My choice of coffee maker is the Cuisinart coffee maker. I love my coffee very hot and this one makes it very hot. I love the taste of any orgasmic peruvian coffee but also love columbian. MOKAS are nice if you're into an espresso type of coffee.
lion antioxidant rich coffee in a frech press- the green bag...
Bustelo coffee. Will have you wired all day
What is that thing you put the squeegee in?
Why don't you just forward your phone calls to your cell phone when you step out..its easy and most phone companies offer this service.
Newbie here. What were you using that I saw on the screen for the flattened stroke?
Just white ink.
i have a question what is the second pass for? i did not see any images on the screen? great videos.
That no ink, blank screen stroke pass is to flatten down and soften the plastisol ink. very soft, buttery feel to the ink.
Thank you.
You should watch his video about preventing Fibrillation, that's why he's doing it :)
Jay Paulino which video? Thanks
Hey.. what type of ink have you used while printing this t-shirt... Thanks!!
I cant remember what ink I used,
The Print Life why? Then make a video if u know people ask?
Cam, you're in the printing business. You could easily get an account with 4over.com and get your printing done for yourself or your customer. You could get 500 cards for like $14. Just a tip for you. You could then even offer offset printing services to your customers if you wanted. And all you have to do is design the stuff. (uncharge) This is what I've been doing as a graphic designer.
Hello sir want to setup new t shirt business if it's possible than plzz sent me the details software and printer name and ink cartridges thanku
How do you create your images digitally
So confusing with the second screen it doesn't even look like there's an image burnt into it but I don't understand why you're pulling ink over it
One handed baller
7-11 $1 a xtra large cup with their premium blend, a little creamer and sugar.
