How To Load A Shirt Straight For Perfect Prints! | Beginner Screen Printing Tips

[@andyparia9104]

Thanks for the tip bro 👀💯👌

[@musicshop801]

I stack print side up and have the cart behind me to the right, load and unload at the same station on an auto. Oven right next to the cart. If I don't my index is way too long and my left hip gets hit. When you got to keep a machine moving and you are loading and unloading yourself on a single rotation print... for me its the only way. You are killing it. Love your videos bro

This is the video I've been waiting for!! Woo hoo! Thank you :)

[@mrvock]

Mad Props brother, and Props for how clean your Studio looks man!!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks dude 🤘🏻

[@D0n0t_Disturb]

Love and watch all of your videos. I've struggled with this for a long time. Can you please make a video about loading sweaters? I struggle with movement and alignment with expensive sweaters.

[@leestuart38]

You would use this same method with hoodies, long sleeve tees, whatever really. Hoodies make life easier because you have the pocket and the neck area that act as extra references

[@MrXrayPL]

oh man, that's exactly what i needed now!!! BTW love your vids. cool stuff you're doing man! Cheers!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot dude, hope it helps!

[@RikusGal1]

I started a new job at as a graphic designer for a local printing shop! your videos are so handy! I will be coming back to your videos for help!

[@leestuart38]

Hell ya that's what they're here for!

[@michaelmings755]

Armpit method was the big takeaway for me. Thanks again, Lee!

[@leestuart38]

That one was a game changer once I figured it out 🤘🏻

[@n8sgr8adventure]

BOOYAH 💥🔨'd that 1 down, with the speedy speech equivalent to Speedy González chugging several Red Bull's then singing Bone Thugs lyrics! Nailed it! 😂

[@michaelhaasjes8066]

Great tips, thanks for making the video :)

[@Shirtspace]

Thank you for sharing all of these great tips!!

Platen...Great tips 👍 Thanks!

[@londonstickerz7927]

2 days late to the party, but i made it! Always learning something from you, dude. Every video i watch, i learn something. Hands down for always trying to teach people! And that end transition with the Rogue Lab t-shirt.. damn, that was sweet and smooth!

[@leestuart38]

That means I'm doing my job right 🤘🏻. Thanks dude

[@TamiT3]

Awesome tips!

[@ianolson6378]

One of the best, most useful screen printing videos out there on something most may look at like not much. Definitely appreciate it Lee! 🤙🏼

[@leestuart38]

Thanks the best thing I could hear. Thanks man!

[@ianolson6378]

@@leestuart38 Absolutely! I’ve been watching your videos over and over for the past few months, learning as much as I can from you. I’m getting ready to purchase a RH 250 startup kit and kick off this entrepreneurial journey in my garage. I’d love to pick your brain sometime on screen printing.

[@drewunderwood2859]

Great channel with great tips. if your shop is small, and your press is not square and straight due to obstructions, using the bar that the platten is attached to as a sight reference for straight helps. I use center registration on screens , from a center line drawn down the center of the platen as Lee showed, then the screens are straight to my line of sight for best chance to achieve a straight print in a shop that may not be straight ( my press sits crooked in my shop and to my dryer but allowed for best spacing with flash and a doorway). Great explanation Lee on what seems simple but can be the most challenging part, Quality.

[@ATeePrint]

Great video man thank you for the tips!

[@rjauto7215]

Wow Lee it's been a long time since I've been on ya channel .been unwell for a bit have ya give up with the bikes now great video tho fella👌👌👌👌🙏

[@thippeswamy9780]

Glad to see you back.great video the arrangement of table and economy of time and effort. Use of eyeballing arm pit technique.feeling for crease. Loading between screens. In short you covered it all Lee, Great work and sharing, inspirational motivational sensible and honest.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot, glad to help out

[@Dtag1971]

Excellent. 😊

Hi When printing jumpers how high should the screen be from the jumper?

[@captainsleathergoods]

Awesome video, I didn't know I needed these advises, thank you ! yesterday you appeared on my suggested and was thinking [Huh I haven't seen a new video] lol Hey men btw, stil rocking the 6D MKII ? is just that the quality of your vids is always on point man !

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man hope it helps. I'm shooting on the Sony A7S3 now 🤘🏻

[@cmesenthil]

what is the solution we use for stain remove on the garment by using spot cleaning gun?

[@munawarsoomro8958]

Awesome. I am starting out and struggling with aligning. So what if your pallet is wider than your shirt? Or performance shirts that have stretch? Thanks

[@zorn8244]

Thanks Lee, this is super helpful!

[@leestuart38]

Glad to hear!

[@HaterS2k]

Great advice!!

[@rhondaciampaglio4535]

I seem to run in to issues. If the shirt looks crooked and I straighten it out. On the pallet. It’s printed crooked as crap

[@GrafXnj]

If I can add 1 method / tip to my printing efficiency then the video / subscription is 1 million% worth it I was hesitant about stacking my shirts opposite with print sid down After 3 shirts I had technique down perfect NO MORE NECK OPENINGS HALF ON THE TOP AND HALF ON THE SIDE OF PALLET AWESOME TIP

[@upallnightink]

Awesome content! Keep up the great work!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks!

[@MorwayCycle]

Didn't really sound like a Lee video, then 1:52 in and we drop 'shit'. Aaaahhhh there he is lol

[@leestuart38]

You never have to wait long to hear a curse word with me 😂

[@MorwayCycle]

@@leestuart38 Honestly, I've been around since the beginning. I'm not liking the new sound. Not sure if it's that wireless lav or what, but it's weird. Your voice sounds off. Not sure. No background sound? All the respect in the world dude, just wanted to give you a heads up.

What do you use for a cart?

[@leestuart38]

I got my carts from uline

[@kirkswater]

Hi Lee - which black shirt brand / model are you using in his video please if you don’t mind sharing. This blank looks like what I’m looking for. I need something 100 Cotton that’s smooth and somewhat fitted better than a standard Heavy style T.

[@leestuart38]

These ones are the alstyle 5301, they wouldn't be what you want if you like something a little heavier. The next level 3600 would be a better fit

[@kirkswater]

@@leestuart38 Thanks Lee!

[@kmclaridy]

Awesome Vid as usual! Any chance you have a link for that cart? Been looking for a cart with a flat top forever... Love the armpit method, kinda did that just because it made sense, nice to see it's a real thing. LOL

[@leestuart38]

It's a great method to double check with. I don't have a link to the cart but it came from uline. They aren't cheap but they're worth it

[@SILVERLYF3]

Great video

[@leestuart38]

Thanks!

[@marksavage3265]

When are you getting a DTG ?

[@leestuart38]

Right away 👍🏻

[@marksavage3265]

@@leestuart38 I was waiting to see your DTG, couldn't wait any longer, got an EPSON F3070

[@kraigowaffles2110]

At the beginning of the video he says if you want the front printed, load it face down. But the shirt he prints he loads front side up and the front side is what gets printed. I'm confused.

[@leestuart38]

I said load your shirt cart with them face down, not the press

[@g.monstas4154]

Good looking out on that ... #GMONSTAS

[@rick9439]

That Born Scum shirt 🙌🏽

[@leestuart38]

Great stuff 🤘🏻

[@aaronattheblackartsstudio2393]

Be careful with using the side seams to judge straightness, a lot of side seams are sewn very sloppy and twisted. I've seen it on everything from cheap shirts to Bella+Canvas to Alternative Apparel. Some are so uneven that when you wear the shirt the side seam lands partway into your back on one side and partway into your front on the other. Checking straightness from the shoulders and armpits is a way better method.

[@kjbrelaxingmusic7296]

HELLO GIVE ME ONE MACHINE

[@gerrybrown2552]

Here because I printed a shirt crooked 🙄

[@richardvannatta7647]

I have never stacked my shirts like this. I stack the opposite...If I'm printing the front of the shirt, that's what side is up. Makes no sense to have the side you're printing face down. BTW 25+ years in the industry. I don't even have to look at the stack of shirts....just grab and go

[@leestuart38]

Good for you
