How to Screen Print Multiple Shirts Using Cricut

⬇⬇ Tap for INFO & LINKS ⬇⬇
Screen printing with vinyl is best used when you have multiple shirts to make at the same time. Once you set up the Speedball screen with the craft vinyl, all you have to do is line up the vinyl design on each shirt, apply Speedball water-based ink, and remove the screen to begin the process again with the next shirt.

So when i ran across your tutorial i was very pleased thank you thank you for straight to the point video..Have a Happy New Year!

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you!

[@Mr_Chuckles]

Great video, thank you. Screen printing is by far the best feeling product, but I think its only really suited to runs of 10 or more to justify the setup time. HTV is actually pretty good for smaller designs or ones with more "whitespace" - its the large, flat designs that feel the worst.

[@DIYAlex]

I agree completely!! I talk about this in my HTV vs screen printing tutorial too. I completely agree with the larger designs as well. I don’t mind HTV but I don’t love the feeling of a giant cut of HTV on my shirt.

[@darthvader386]

If you are using water base ink.you can add a bit of water every 2 or 3 shirts with your method to the ink container just a sprinkle (and use the spoon to mixed well)then keep applying it to the screen.that way keeps your ink from drying and you'll noticed every time the refreshed ink with the water will clear the ink left over in your screen as well!Also you can let the print dried on the sun before iron it.for a better outcome!

[@DIYAlex]

Ooh super cool tip! Thanks!

[@chrisc7566]

i use a circle with cross hairs. Thats what we used to print carpet. 1 in each corner, so I use 2 in opposite corners. great idea using just 651 perm vynil. the stencil vinyl is expensive

Hey Alex! Thank you for this very informative video- quick question, what’s the alternative if we don’t have a heat press? Can I use a normal iron?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes! Just make sure the areas of the design get consistent heat for about 30 seconds

[@AileenLeyba]

Thank you for sharing!! Does it matter what fabric type you use? Ex. Cotton only, poly blend etc?

[@DIYAlex]

You're welcome! I'm not aware of a material type that doesn't work with screen printing ink! I stick to cotton, polyester, and cotton/poly blends because that's what I'm used to wearing but I'm sure it works outside of those materials!

[@canadianchicky333]

Iv been watching so many videos and this one was the most knowledgeable. Thanks.how do u wash off the extra paint?( the line) thank

I’m so glad! I just washed it off with a wash cloth and soapy water before the ink dried.

[@laurahilton4614]

This was very useful! Thank you for making these. For the line that was on the shirt, I see in comments you blotted with water and soap. I've tried this and cant get the mistakes to come up. Could you maybe do a video on this? Would be helpful to see your technique.

[@DIYAlex]

You're welcome! That's a great idea, thanks for the suggestion!

[@HalfAssHomestead]

I'm getting ready to screen print a ton of boxes. For my needs that line would be totally unacceptable. That is why I watch these videos. When I see 1 mistake, I see replication numerous times.

[@Mr_Chuckles]

@@HalfAssHomestead sure, but at least you can fix it after the first mistake :)

[@jenb6263]

This is amazing! Thank you so much! I just ordered my cricut and have been searching all over to try and find an "easier" way to make multiple shirts at once rather than having to cut and press so many HTV for each shirt. I'm so excited to try this now! Does the ink last ? Or start to fade after a while? Out of curiosity..do you like screen printing better than heat pressing the vinyl on?

[@DIYAlex]

You're welcome! Yes this is much easier for bulk amounts of shirts! I have had fanstastic longevity out of the ink so far. I would say it lsts just as long as HTV. I like both processes, so I use HTV for shirts when I have 5 or less and screen printing when I have more than that :)

[@amberleighe]

Great help! Thank you! What heat press do you use?

I don’t, but you can use parchment paper inside if you want.

[@sandrasalter9092]

Love your videos, they are super helpful and easy to follow! Can you advise if you can keep the screen set up with the vinyl for future use ( rather than take the vinyl off after screening & then re-cutting new vinyl). Thanks!

[@DIYAlex]

You will need to apply heat transfer vinyl to be able to keep the vinyl on the screen after washing it.

How do you put htv on the screen? And if you have multiple shirts to do, is htv better?

[@kelbel7666]

Hello. Nice job explaining it all. To help with not leaving a line from too much paint in the design can u squeegee from side to side as well; especially if the design is the same size or smaller than the squeegee. Thank you.

Heat set both sides.

[@TheAjCalvillo]

Hi, starting to get into this. Question: could you, in theory, use a clear stencil so that way you’re not wasting vinyl?

[@DIYAlex]

No, you have to use a screen in order for it to be screen printing. Stenciling on a shirt isn't the same, but it works if you prefer that.

[@kazzaMcFazza]

Great video. Quick question. Will the ink bleed through the shirt & do you need to put something inside the shirt to stop the ink coming through? Thanks.

[@DIYAlex]

I have never had an issue, but you can put parchment paper between the layers of the shirt if you want to.

[@brittanyvazquez2836]

This video has helped me out so much! I do have a question, if I do a print roughly 10 inches, how many shirts can I get out of one container of ink?

[@DIYAlex]

It depends on your design and the size of the jar of ink. But it's a lot! It goes far.

[@rayleend7259]

Hi, would love to try this out. Some questions: 1. When your heat pressing the shirts, do you cover the shirt with like parchment paper before putting the heat press on the shirt? 2. What are the care instructions for a screen printed shirt? How long do they last?

[@DIYAlex]

You don't need to cover with parchment paper to press if the ink is dry. There aren't any specific care instructions that I'm aware of. The ink does better if you hang them to dry, but it's not required.

[@katiemarcy3498]

Wow thank you this is extremely helpful! I have an order of 12 shirts of the same design (2 color design) so I am hoping to try screen printing for the first time. If I make a screen of the 1st color, can I reuse it 12 times right in a row? Then clean it off, load the 2nd color screen and do the same? Your videos are great- thanks!

[@DIYAlex]

I’m so glad it was helpful! In theory, yes, you could do 12. Since it’s your first try, you may find that the ink starts to dry up a little bit before you can finish it. You may want to have a spray bottle with water handy to lightly spritz the screen in case it feels like it’s getting dry. But otherwise yes, the process you described is correct! Just let the first layer dry a bit before doing any more.

[@jennyrichardson9343]

Great video!! Because each shirt size usually has a different size logo do you have to make a new one for each different size of shirt?? Or if it’s a large and XL is it close enough that you just use the same one?

[@DIYAlex]

I don't resize my logos dramatically if the sizing is close. I would keep it simple so you don't have to make a ton of screens :).

[@adrithebandit]

Can you explain how you put the text into Cricut design space? with the ears?

[@terravibes9236]

Hi! First off, thank you so much for your videos! My question is, we tried to do the multiple shirts at a time, but the second one didn’t come out as good. Do I need to squeegee harder or longer? Or more paint? We didn’t wait long between the 2.

[@DIYAlex]

Honestly without more details I can't really say what you need to change. I just recommend practicing until you get it right. It's not hard to do, but it definitely requires some technique.

[@donneashawilliams3792]

So glad I came across your videos, you explain everything so well. Thank you! Not sure if this is a weird question but how would you apply another color within the design without mixing if that makes sense? Like if you only wanted the P's in hoppy to be yellow and the rest white

[@DIYAlex]

The iron works just fine! Set it on high with no steam. Move the iron in small circles over each area of the design for about 30 seconds. Make sure the ink is completely dry. I think it's also a good idea to have parchment paper over top of the ink just in case it's not fully dry, but that's not required.

Is there a trick to preparing your screen prior to adding the vinyl and ink. I use Speedball ink as well and wanted to make a couple of shirts.

[@ChangeThaChannel]

What if you want to do multiple shirts but in different colors but same design? Would you need recut the vinyl doing the whole process over again or can you just wash the screen leaving the vinyl on it, wait for it to dry and use a different color ink?

[@DIYAlex]

You would likely lose some pieces when washing the screen, so I wouldn't recommend it.

[@allysahall8101]

Is there a difference when you screen print going side to side or up and down on the shirt?

[@DIYAlex]

If you’re asking about the direction of the squeegee, I don’t believe so. I think it’s easier to keep straight and maintain even pressure, but it’s probably more personal preference than anything.

[@heathermclaughlin3907]
