Thank you for the tutorial. I see you didn’t throw away your shot!

[@erikkajames-heckman5210]

OMG..obsessed. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for sharing :)

[@speedball_art]

Thanks so much for tuning in! will does such a great job explaining the process and the possibilities are so much fun! enjoy!!

Love this idea and thank you for the video! It would be great to have a links in your description for the kit he’s talking about and for videos that show how to create the design to transfer. I went to the speedball site after watching another video and couldn’t easily find kits for this. All kinds of possibilities running through my head!

[@speedball_art]

Thank you for the great suggestions! We would love to make it easier for viewers to find and purchase the kits. 😀 Also let us know if you need help buying from us!

[@speedball_art]

We'd be happy to help troubleshoot this with you. Can you please email us at [e-mail] so one of ou technical experts can jump in to assist?

Thank you. I enjoyed watching the video. Would you please tell witch screen print kit is mentioned in the video?

[@speedball_art]

Yes! It's Speedball's Advanced All-in-one Kit for the photo emulsion method.

Enjoyed this video. Have a Speedball photo emulsion kit bought 2 years ago that I haven't used yet. Stuck at home in COVID19 isolation so am curious to try this out. TFS!!!

[@neuro_yartsevo_sunboy]

So is the emulsion you are using here can be fired in kiln? What temperature?

[@speedball_art]

In this video he is using underglazes to print with, the emulsion is used on the screen, and the underglaze is pushed through it onto the ceramics. The underglaze can be fired from cone 04 all the way up to cone 10!

@@speedball_art oh I see, I thought that you are using something specially made. Thank u!

Hi! My name is Maria, I live in Argentina and enjoyed your video! One question: What mesh number and which emulsion is used to make a photographic copy to be able to transfer the material to use the dry rope technique on tiles? Thank you very much!

[@speedball_art]

Will is using a 110 monofilament mesh in this video, but you can use from 110-305 successfully with our underglazes.

[@tanyaklonarisazevedo4004]

Hi thank you for the demo. Can you tell what’s the best mesh size to use with speedball underglazes? I made my first screen with a 110 mesh and the ink only worked the first time and then won’t print so I’m not sure if it’s because the mess is too small or it’s drying out (in seconds) between prints. I need some help!

[@speedball_art]

It all depends on your use cases! 😊 The most common type of screens we sell is 110-monofilament. That's probably also the screen the artist used in the video!

[@truls4987]

Informative! Thanks. Have you tried newspaper transfer? If so - can you transfer design by soaking with water or u need to use slip?

[@speedball_art]

Great suggestion! We haven't tested it but it would be interesting to find out. Feel free to let us know if the experiment works out for you.

[@rommycougar]

Hello, what is the mesh count used please for the mesh? Thanks

[@speedball_art]

Speedball's 110 monofilament mesh is being used in this video.

Can you make rice paper transfers w this method?

[@speedball_art]

@@tren6195 We have had partner artists use rice paper successfully with this method, but have not tested the results in our lab here

[@tanyaklonaris-azevedo108]

@@speedball_art i'm using 110 mesh right now, have tried it on paper and newsprint and having some challenges. printing seems to be getting stuck after the first print and i'm having to wash the screen each time i want to print...not sure why this is happening..do i go up in mesh number or down? someone recommended a higher mesh count and said the problem could be its drying very quickly and a smaller mesh may prevent this from happening?? they said water based paints work better with higher mesh counts...Now this is really confusing because my concern is that the paint is getting clogged in the screen?? any help from anyone with experience would be very much appreciated.
