Correct Screen Exposure: How Do You Know?

[@nineoneoh]

When I first started out I built my own light table and exposed screens with 8X11 speedball film from A.C Moore. When the image wasn't dark enough I used toner spray to darken the image. It's an old trick if you don't have dark vector files. Correct mesh count and good film definitely helps as well as the correct times. Cool video!

[@JustThink2000]

Thanks. I washed out two exposures just clueless as to why my screen wasn’t staying. Now I know I was under exposing.

Great information! Why does my image get smudge when I'm screen printing? Am I pressing down to hard or something?

I only have one screen and I haven’t tested out the times yet. But say I burn my first screen and I didn’t expose it correctly do I have to remove the emulsion completely from the screen that had a bad test burn and start the whole process again? (even coat of emulsion, letting it dry, putting the image, burning the screen) Don’t I waste emulsion by doing so?

[@TshirtChick]

Yes. You can't re-use the screen for another design until you reclaim (remove the emulsion/stencil from the screen). You will have to recoat the screen with emulsion and try again. It's good to have a couple of extra screens when screen printing

screen printing is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Expecially if you don't have a proper equipment....... drying time, over exposure, under exposure, pressure washing, alligning the screen so it sits right and at the end of the day you have companies that will always beat you with their top class equipment. It's extremely low profit business. Give up now and save yourself a lot of time and money :)

[@TshirtChick]

I have been in this business since 2007 and have no plans on stopping. I taught my son to screen print in 1 day without him having any experience. Screen printing is actually the most profitable and fastest way to print shirts. It is made for big orders so you can do them quickly at a low cost. I do multiple different types of printing including DTF, Subllimation, Embroidery and I used to do HTV but of all those Screen Printing is still my favorite for multiple different reasons. I have a video explaining why.

[@champstylebeats2628]

Can emulsion sit on the screen overnight drying before burning?

[@TshirtChick]

Yes, I usually prepare several screens at once so all I have to do is burn a screen when someone makes an order. That way I can start printing in 15-20 mins which is about how long it takes for a screen to dry.
