[@ArtyStrings]

This is a great video! I love all the alternatives to using photo emulsion (Especially the masking tape method!)!

[@strawhatsmcgee]

the most straight forward video i have yet to find! thank you so much!

[@jasminegulliver3250]

So many negative people in this comment section. This seems like a much more approachable way to approach screen printing compared to the emulsion method

[@Glostahdude]

It is definitely the more accessible.... but definitely not easier

[@lolitabonita08]

why u see comments as negative...remember for everything is a ying and yang...no all of us can agree in everything or like everything if so the world will be so boring....u like pink i like white and so on.. respect other people's opinions as u will like to people respect your point of view...

[@concreterstamworth5557]

Loved every second of this!

[@jhbnorthpageants1161]

This is amazing ❤

[@drawwithbeektor6329]

“It’s like sour cream. It’s just beautiful.” Great, now I have to make enchiladas. 😭😍🤣

[@AaronIsaak47]

Perfect just what I needed, you have a very calming presence and made it look fun and relaxing encouraging me to give it a try. Loved the results btw, cheers.

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

Well done. I love the simplicity of the process especially if you're just getting into this. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Glostahdude]

I’ve been screens printing for 35 years.... direct emulsion is definitely best.... spend the money on having a screen made professionally!

[@ronrendon]

He's so cute. I have no idea what he was talking about LOL. I couldn't take my eyes off his arms, his hair and his handsome voice. He has really nice eyes too.

[@nikimnray8377]

Thank you so much this is the best video on screen printing that I've seen so far 👏👏👏👏

[@mikewalmsley6411]

Thanks Steven, love your ideas, I feel less intimidated by the process after seeing you work here. much freer forms than messing with all the registration corners!

[@DMDArtStudio]

Wow it is good. I just saw this screen printing become an extraordinary work of art.

[@mkfremkglmfekwgnkr1727]

I've just stumbled across this eloquent , articulate . and so clearly spoken Steven Sabados :-) take a bow my good dude , you delivered the concise content I needed , and spared us all a lecture on branding. wish I could buy ya a beer, I'm going through a long playlist of diy screen making , and I'm leabingtowards the laser print method with a & b paper.

[@bamanlikedarius4796]

I love this idea. You just helped me look at shirt making so different.

[@ZacVaper]

To solve your problem of only being able to set it down once: add strips of 1/8" soft rubber to the frame; it will raise the screen slightly off your work (the screen has enough flex) and the rubber will aid it not to move.

[@MrBlizzetta]

any store you might recommend to pick the rubber strips from, this is an excellent tip!

[@ZacVaper]

@@MrBlizzetta Home Depot has adhesive backed rubber or weather stripping.

[@cjbcarr1]

if you tape a couple of quarters to the frame in all four corners, you can gain some off contact that way too!

[@ZacVaper]

@@cjbcarr1 Sure...but who can afford that?

[@cjbcarr1]

@@ZacVaper the struggle is real my friend

[@AvionOrr]

Awesome!!! The last print is the best. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@prisillaspace]

Genius....screen filler for us screen printers at home...you're so smooth... 😍😎💪👊

[@powell4665]

Thank you for this. I was just interested in how it was done and this made it really easy to understand. I'm not an "art" person and I understood.

[@courtdavila]

Amazing educational video!! His voice reminds me of a 90s tv talk show 😂

[@larkinhavard2473]

Im new to screen printing and this video really helped me a lot. Thank you so much

[@SheRenovates]

Very thorough, and I like your style. Thanks for the recap since my class in college.

[@tatiujo]

While living quarantine.... I'm so glad I've found this video! I loved every single moment of it - I truly enjoy all the information that you shared during the steps! It was the FIRST video that I didn't fast forward!!! ✨🍃💚 You're so talented and I love your personality. P.S: I struggle on meditations as well...And that's okay!!! 😌☝🏼

[@DiZimmer]

You are an excellent teacher and are inspiring Thankyou

[@lolitabonita08]

a beauty!!! Love the entire process. ...i did the screen printing at the University and was one of my most loveeeddd classes ever!!

[@nicolep2424]

For the silk screen, staple old sheer fabric to an old pic frame! Works great!

[@cliffdariff74]

What kid of fat tape is he using.

[@philipneed8462]

Super! Can't wait to try this, thank you.

[@stephenhobbs1052]

You can use artists acrylic paint, you just need to mix it with printing gel.

[@SisterBeloved]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It is great to see another creative way to approach the process. Please disregard the negative comments some people have posted on here. It is great of you to take the time to share. You have inspired others to try something new. And to be less intimidated by the screenprinting process. Kudos for spreading positivity in a sometimes very negative world.🙂👍💕

[@cliffdariff74]

There are no negative comments.

[@jeanhills2074]

for years i have been afraid of silk screen, it never computed in my brain for some reason, and now seeu do it, itse seems so simple. thank you.

[@skmfreespirit4167]

This is the awesome-est-est! Thanks

[@anns.2621]

I love that!

[@TheEleventeen]

Pretty cool video. I liked the final art too !

[@NW-pt8zz]

This was an awesome tutorial. Thanks a lot!

[@beccaturner8834]

Thank you ❤

[@convenantcreations6017]

Great designs and information ❤😊 Thank you

[@coldheart1306]

This is creative way to play with screen printing

[@leonekisidro]

AMAZING ¡¡¡ I JUST LEARN TOO MUCH THIS DAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ¡¡

[@CBCLife]

You're welcome Leo :)

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thank you so much! This looks so achieveable compared to looking at the sensitizer route. This may sound a silly question, but would it work on tshirts?

[@amandahilleary2581]

It should, but not sure if you need different paint

[@34weaselsinatrenchcoat11]

Yes but you need to get fabric ink, i use speedball but you can use whatever brand you want

[@Havik_1996]

I really want to start my own business online by doing all kinds of painting especially the pop art with retro paint. But I gotta save some money if Im going to invest in my business. This video is really going to help in the near future for screen printing.

[@sitimelaks9892]

Good deco / creativity work man, cool 😄😄

[@poltorn4580]

great video. Thank you.

[@brooklynmoore9760]

Steven sabados is my hero

[@d2dalo25]

Oh man this was amazing and inspiring for me

[@lewissearson5760]

Awesome video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ic610]

I love it !

[@chris-p-Bacon836]

I would attach the roll of paper at the end of the table, just like in the doctor's office. .i also added an edge on the table so the frame has something to rest against

[@susanmcdaneld3372]

Thank you so much for this!!!!

[@danbridgman5038]

Amazing!!!!!

[@courtney1186]

Can you tell us about how much all the supplies will cost/ and if we could find most of the supplies at craft stores?

[@Bonesph]

You can use canvas frames and fabric from Jo Anna and staple it together so that could cost $20 screen filler or Mod Podge is about $8 then marker and paint cost. Pretty cheep.

[@zoeymariebacus604]

woooooooow it worked

[@abubakarrmansaray1067]

thanks i have learned a lot from this

[@MissRoffle]

You could use acrylic when you screen print, you just have to put medium in it so that it doesn't dry that fast.

[@SnoopiesPoopies]

Valentina Oliverio what do you mean medium?

[@swastikprinteryprashantson9568]

Dear I am master of tshirts printing [phone]

[@johnpierce3042]

She means something you add to acrylic paint to change the properties of it (matte medium, gel medium, sculpting medium). They make a specific screen printing medium but it costs as much as any silkscreen ink.

[@veermanghnani]

amazing video!! thanks for sharing

[@sheivoxx]

Great man!! tks for share...

[@suedesweffervescent]

The line about not being too precious hit me hard. Huge problem I have with making my work available or making a product for sale.

[@silknegocios2045]

Muito bom! Abraços aqui do Brasil.

[@ThePhantazmya]

I took a screen printing class for fun in college. This is soo not the process I learned. Seems much simpler. We did use acrylic paint back then, too. It makes me feel so old to realize how long ago that actually was.

[@Bonesph]

Yeah you probably used photo emulsion and you are right acrylic dose work.

[@cliffdariff74]

Can you use gesso for block out?

[@lariestanx]

May I know where you get the wood frame? I saw got the rubber stick on the silk, it’s very easy and recycle to use

[@roberthart-hansen5677]

Hi Steve, you have now Got a massive fan in Denmark, any of the fishprints for sale? Love from Lisbeth

[@munazzaw9940]

Thank you. Can I use the same method for fabric?

[@ZZ-rn3ce]

what type of paper was used for the project

[@talkingmeat]

Please note that using this screen filler method as shown, you will not get as clean of a print as if you were to use the corresponding speedball drawing fluid to paint the positive area, then coat over the entire screen with screen filler in a single stroke. I have done this method shown and the amount of micro pinholes is absurd.

[@johnpierce3042]

Multiple coats help, his prints look very clean though. You can do some cool things with screen filler like reduction printing.

[@loganmarcus6516]

yeah, he also could have used that handy cut out as his resist.

[@shannondaily4562]

Maybe you answered this already, but what brand of screen filler are you using??

[@solomontesfaye3410]

Hello sir, would you please tell me the mixing ratio of powder sesitizer with hot water and the amount of liquid senitizer with emulsion?

[@TheTenshioshimayuko]

The screen is not made of silk since a long time actually.. this is polyester (PET). I'm a French screen printer.

[@stelleldir]

thank you!

[@sitimelaks9892]

That's exactly but let add a provision of screen clamp than merely hold with hands , better

[@RJohannNewton1]

Nice job! What kind of paper did you use there?

[@arturonegretearte]

How do you clean the screen filler?

[@THE_REAPER3.7]

Can you change the design in the screen if you already drew on it with marker and outlined it with the screen filler ?

[@desareadoodles9446]

sadly no not unless you clean out a section of the design. there is a blue fluid called drawing fluid that is supposed to be used before the screen filler.

[@johnpierce3042]

Yeah wash it out with screen filler remover/screen cleaner. A power washer will help but a hose will work.

[@lolitabonita08]

what kind of paper did u use?

[@loganmarcus6516]

could save ten minutes using that cut out as a stencil to paint the screen filler over

[@chicuco84]

Nice job.

[@tylerno4354]

can you reuse screens? if so, how do you get the old ink off?

[@alicewyan]

wash the ink with water immediately after printing, then the screen blocker can be removed with a special screen recover product.

[@thegrind6184]

How long do you have to let the ink dry before applying a new screen?

[@alicewyan]

The ink is acrylic based, so it usually takes a very short time to dry, just a few minutes. You can see it's dry because the surface texture changes (it becomes more matte and loses the wet shine).

[@Earendilgrey]

It depends on how thick it ends up going on and the material you are applying it to, but usually only a few minutes. I had a thick shirt take about 10 minutes a few times but most only take maybe 5.

[@jjallwood8646]

Does the screen get clogged over time? Do you clean it?

[@jjallwood8646]

Sorry you said you clean it, how do you clean it?

[@raizayub333]

[@Chantwizzle]

So...what is your anti-aging secret though?

[@MadSteexProduction]

faster with emulsion sensitive light paint

[@ZoraTheberge]

The only downside is that then you need a darkroom and a suction exposure unit.

[@WeezyBestRapperAliv1]

Zach T you could use a closet as a dark room and u dont need a suction exposure unit, u could use a 500 watt lamp ($15) and a piece of glass to keep contact ($20)

[@theniftywarlock]

And to go even more diy/cheaper using the sun to expose your screen in a couple of seconds is possible. Not ideal but free.

[@beautifulcarpetdiagram]

I'm just trying to print a simple document...

[@Drangon49]

Just for you info, the screen are not silk anymore and haven't been for years. The materials used for the screens are polyester. So this is a screen printing process, not silk. but anyway have fun.

[@DragonKnight401]

Primer Red thank you for letting me know. Now I might try this.

[@johnpierce3042]

Synthetic mesh is most common but he easily could have stretched his own with actual silk. The term silk screen has risen above material and into process but if you want to be technical it is serigraphy.

[@arnoldk8282]

Can you print this on a t-shirt 👕 🤔??

[@tightfoo]

i'd like to know to, have you figured it out yet?

[@leeball4]

You can, just make sure you are using fabric ink, then heat cure it with a heat gun otherwise it will wash out.

[@barrymatthewnamo5264]

😁🙏🏽😘

[@Nohlicnab01]

I

[@MRRGNDTOAIRCJS]

This method not for High production, are waste of money. Also generate scrap material

[@Darkflight5]

Whats the screen filler called ?!😂

[@Earendilgrey]

Looks like someone didn't have a teacher griping at them for wasting ink.

[@luxuryspacegaycommunism]

"When your next mortgage payment is due....how much you've grossly exceeded your American Eagle bracelet budget for the month..."

[@3DsadnessTM]

The noise of him swiping the screen makes me want to scream

[@marvinparra4592]

this honestly makes me cringe.

[@RandelPlowman]

it's ink not paint!

[@warriors4christ984]

Dude, you do not have to fill every second with verbage. It's okay to be quiet

[@PabloPerez-xr4lu]
