Print your image onto regular paper. Grab some cotton wool balls. Dip them in baby oil. Rub the oil into the paper and hang the paper to dry. The oil makes the paper translucent leaving the image intact. We used this method back at school when we couldn't afford to get transparencies printed. Works perfectly the only restriction is size of course.

[@TshirtChick]

That sounds really messy. I wouldn't want to put oil on my screens because it will cause issues with the emulsion adhering to the screens.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

@@TshirtChick not in the slightest bit messy. You just need a cotton wool ball with literally a dab off baby oil . The paper absorbs the oil and then hang it with a clothes peg to dry. I've done this with my kids....it's kiddie proof messy! Test it out on a plane piece of printer paper. The transparent paper is dry when you use it against the screen and it doesn't effect the emulsion.

[@joelnickerson6739]

Now that's an awesome idea. I haven't started printing yet but it's nice to see screen printers finding things that work and thinking outside the box.

[@jeanaatkins8083]

I just came across this video. 3 days ago I had to use vinyl (because I use inkscape and dont know how to fully use it). I just applied the vinyl (mirrored) directly to my screen. Came out beautiful. Didn't think to adhere it to the film first.

[@thestudioofhopecorporation3356]

You can also use vegetable oil on plain copy paper to make the paper transparent and hold the image to the screen, it works when you really need it done quick.

[@TshirtChick]

That sounds really messy and I don't think it's good for vegetable oil to come in contact with you screens.

[@EverythingByNesha]

It actually works well. I also burn using vinyl directly on screen. It takes some time time getting each piece off but I never have an issue with it not having good contact. You do what you have to with limited resources.

[@1LoDeezydotcom]

This idea came up in my head yesterday. Had to see if anybody else was hip lol

[@TshirtChick]

LOL! Thank you for watching!

[@lukamossman7416]

You’re a fucking genius. I been googling if this was possible and no one made a video, until I found you. It seemed like such a hassle to buy transparent paper and use my printer when I can just cut a stencil with my cricut, but I wasn’t sure if it was possible. Thanks for this video.

[@TshirtChick]

YW.

[@ricardohernandezmarcelos1817]

print it on regular paper , then ad to the paper wd-40 or baby oil and your paper will become a transparencie. cheap and efective

[@TshirtChick]

The Transparency film are already pretty cheap and using those oils seem like it would be a big mess to clean up.

[@Elevationprint]

Nice work. You can also apply the vinyl to the screen directly

[@TshirtChick]

I know I said it in the video. I also have a video on here from back in the day where I showed how I did it.

[@Elevationprint]

Sorry.. I got excited. I just heard you say it ;)

[@ladyinred2156]

Elevation Print & Sign true that’s what I’m doing some times but it take a lot of time to take the tape of. What I’m doing now is I put the vinyl on the shirt it’s much easier.

[@juliusvichinsky]

Thanks for the great information. Well done!

[@ramsys9906]

you don't need to go that far like using vynal. All you need to do is print it on paper (but make sure it's thin) then what you should do is apply veg oil on the screen that u have made, then put that printed paper on the oiled screen and trust me ur paper becomes transparent because of oil and then you can expose it to light. Booom you got your screen.

[@TshirtChick]

Vegetable oil will be super messy and I would hate to mess up my screens by putting oil on them. You have to degrease the screens or the emulsion will not stick to it so vegetable oil will cause issues with that.

[@markgomez1387]

It works really well I kind that a few times myself

Love your videos. I have a hard time weeding some of my final the letters. They don’t always come off of the venal or it tears. Is there a particular brand i Should be using? I end up going through too much material/

[@TshirtChick]

It sounds like your cut settings may be off for the material you are using you may need to adjust it

[@pinda0020]

I was thinking about doing something similar but with htv , mine have clear backing so it might work the same.

[@Factory928AC]

pinda0020 did you ever try this? I’m thinking on trying this method you said instead of the film she put the sticker on

[@jrpainters912]

You can print with paper, just put baby oil in the back of the paper . You don’t need a transparency film.

[@TshirtChick]

Baby oil seems really messy. Transparency film is very cheap and can be used multiple times in case you need to remake the screen later

[@markgomez1387]

[@bradleyand444]

Your videos are so helpful. How was the quality of the print? This can save me a lot of money the film positives are costly in the start. God bless

[@TshirtChick]

Using vinyl does not affect the quality of print it only limits the detail that can be printed because you can't print really detailed designs using vinyl.

[@michaelthorne209]

good job

[@TshirtChick]

Thanks

[@alanwaggett2010]

you can also use sticky vinyl direct to your screen

I have videos on that subject.

hey queen you can use the vinyl on your screen instead of emulsion its quicker just reverse what you did in this video. there videos on how to screen print with vinyl and no emulsion on youtube :)

I have been using an epson workforce printer and it's not been working well for me. What is a good printer that I can get that is good, maybe like the top 3 printers? Thanks.

[@TshirtChick]

IDK what the best printer is I think that really depends on what people prefer. I have a video called What Printers do I use that shows all the printers I have in my shop and tells what I use them for. Hope this helps.

what kind of emulsion do you use

That was awesome sin

[@graphicwarehousellcpassion3194]

Nice....Troubleshooting is half the battle

[@ilyzaspencer284]

Would I have to put the vinyl on transparency paper for this to work? Could I put it directly on glass or directly on the screen instead?

[@TshirtChick]

That would work I just didn't want the job of peeling it off the glass when done.

[@ladyinred2156]

Thank you so much . I order my screen and paint but not yet my imulsion etc but soon I Will.I have already my cutter. Im gonna try this.Thank you I can learn so much from you. Btw love watching your vids💐 ps,how long you let it burn?

[@TshirtChick]

Thank you for watching! The burn time will depend on what you are using to expose your screens I just used my regular exposure time no need to change the amount of time because of the vinyl.

[@benhummer185]

it would be cheaper to take lavsan film, which is used for packaging flowers

[@TshirtChick]

Thanks for the info but, I don't do flowers so I don't have any of that film so it would cost me more to buy something extra. In this video I'm using what I have on hand because I was in a pinch and didn't have time to go looking for an alternate so I didn't have to spend any extra money on items I don't have at my shop.

could you just use the vinyl right after you weed? the light should harden the emulsion through the white paper. my epson 1400 is leaving ink on the corners of all my films...some way more then others. i have to snip off all the corners of every film, and some, a whole edge. i have yet to find a solution.

[@TshirtChick]

IDK I never thought of that LOL!! It could work but the backing is a little thicker than regular paper. I'll have to try it. I'm gonna start using my other printer the HP T120. I think this printer is just old and it's time to give up on printing film with it. I have had it before I even got in this building so it's 10 years or more old. I don't have any issues printing plain paper for some strange reason.
