How To Make A Screen For Screen Printing | THE BLUEPRINT

[@bobbyd1961]

This is the simplest and best video on how to start screen printing I have ever saw. Dying to try this out.

[@Gilbertify1]

It is good at first to understand the steps but definitely research every part In depth because one mess up and the entire design process is messed up for good with no redos. Also, $60 to do all this is really misleading as hell lol. I can’t believe the tutorial tries to act like that’s all you need and you’re set. It’s enough for one tee shirt i guess

[@mistergraham6702]

@@Gilbertify1 quit lying FOOL this is all you need, if not tell me what else i need. kidding but no seriously ima rookie and i was hoping this was all i needed aside from a heat press, your telling me i got to buy those 15,000 machines for screen printing or can i get away with using cheap stuff.

[@brianbradley1952]

Yeah it is

[@rachaelvaldivieso3434]

I agree. The majority of all screen printing videos are super complicated and overwhelming to follow and understand. This was the simplest easy to understand screen printing video.

[@gagafifty5068]

Gotta be a easier process. Because if you gotta do this for every design. Lid what happens to the smiley face design,

[@djhutchison]

When I was working at a screen printing shop back in the day, it was largely the same process, just geared toward bigger orders. So, the materials, and equipment were slightly different/more robust. We use sheet emulsion on the screens. We had an industrial arc lamp, and vacuum table to burn the screens. The basement was set up to prep screens for burning, and for reclaiming screens if we we're expecting more shirt orders from that job. We had single, two color, and four color stations, and later added an automatic press that was capable of 8 colors. Of course, there was a wall with all of the various inks we used. A Pantone guide was essential for mixing colors to client specifications. Amazing to think that practically anyone can do this, really.

Love this video! extra tip! After printing, seal ur design by putting parchment over it and ironing on a low setting for 30 seconds

[@javarionwest3558]

I came here in hopes of finding a video that was simple + easy and the amount of detail you put into a 5 minute was more than I could ask for! Thank you!!!!!

[@ambertoennies2353]

I literally just started looking at screen printing today for designs we've had for a couple years. And I am so glad this was the first video I watched on how to stencil for sil screening. I was super overwhelmed in the 10 minutes before I found this. Thank you!

[@romeisfallingagain]

thank you tek. 10 videos trying to find out what is happening in each stage and you showed it all. bravo sir

[@michael14ml]

These blueprint episodes are so awesome for people who are taking their first steps into design. Always love seeing these, your brand is a big inspiration for me. Looking forward to more as always 🙂❤️

[@treasurehiding9]

Finally someone who knows what he's talking about and shows the whole process. Cheers!!

[@PeanutbutteredDailey]

Thanks for this video. Bringing me back down to earth. I was marveled at these laser machines having a screen printing attachment. It's still cool, but that's... pricey. I could definitely jump into screen printing doing this first!

[@condone_este3759]

I've been wanting to learn how to screen print for the longest so I can start to learn how to make cloths and you don't know how much this video helped me thanks everyone at chinatown market 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kawaiichic4154]

Than you. You gave me so much hope. Because I am home right now rehabilitating hopefully for my future I'm no longer able to do the work I previously done but I am ready to get started but I didn't know how to get started because I didn't have the money right now for any equipment or machines. I am ready to get started with my ideas. Thank you. Although ever so humble very much appreciated.

[@Gabs.AcidHouzze]

As a College student studying fashion hoping to start a t-shirt line by this summer, this video helped me soooooo much, straight fire fs!!

[@RapdonMakaberi]

Hi Gabrielle, thinking of the same too. Geographically I am in Africa but politically in Kenya. Check my stuff out and I believe you will love them.

[@soycervantesjr]

Best of luck!

[@2famous-]

did u?

[@okii3338]

we need an update gabrielle

[@nykirathompsonl4925]

did you start ?

[@Ashley_Mariee]

this is the BEST screen printing tutorial on youtube ever. props bro 💯

[@rachaelvaldivieso3434]

Please more videos with Tek. He's so good and to the point when expanding screen printing.

[@whiskitty01]

I never thought of applying a second colour that way!🤩

[@OM-ee9uf]

Love art and i love expression. I need that for artistic expression

[@scrapeaholicstm]

man thank you! simple straight to the point best video to diy screen printing !

[@_alltheseprettylights_]

This was a very relaxed and simple way to describe the process. I appreciate you homie! Going to get the stuff this month

[@parkersmith389]

Best video on screen printing! Super clean and simple! Thanks🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Neiman555]

Bro this video needs to be in the millions because you broke this down so good

[@AlanRoberts0427]

In high school we had an easy way using screen material,rubber cement, and the three colors red, yellow and blue. I thought silkscreening was for kids but many years after high school the people in the suite next to me were doing really super professional silk screens.

[@jungsomewhat]

Like this guy very much laid back but not loud, cool but not over the top… Wonderful!

[@Deathruder]

so stoked on trying this process, it reminds me of developing a film photo in the dark room.

[@missladyt]

Tek voice so soothing. Love it!!!!!

[@jodotgiff]

I’ve had a couple failed attempts with my screen printing but this vid is givin me hope

[@jodotgiff]

I have come back to say that I’m final all screen printing!

[@Nowayforeal]

I’ve been meaning to get into screen printing for a while, this is so dope!

[@crackshotscreenprinting]

great for first timers, but there was one thing that he could have done to ensure it to always be a better print.... when applying the emulsion it needed to be applied none ink side and then ink side and not scoop off access on the non ink side because that is where it needed to be thickest. Just an FYI.

[@Sui-CycoFM]

Hi Tek Thank you so much for your video. I did my first screen this past weekend. I failed, I did my emulsion in the light. You helped me to try again next week. To do my emulsion in the dark. 👍👍

[@leomarmolina1770]

That scraping sound gives me goosebumps.

[@neel0596]

I didn’t know how to make a screen for screen printing and now I do, thank you CTown Market🙌

[@ابوعدي-ك4خ2ش]

6b 6b in Æ

[@Rodtharuler0808]

How long did you blow dry the emulsion and was it cold or hot

[@copyartwork1658]

Love seeing more people get into the art of silkscreening

[@efrennapoles9696]

I have trouble when it comes to washing the screen, I didn’t know if it was because of the pressure of the hose when washing it. Or if I left it exposing under the light too long. Or possibly the consistency of the emulsion. But when I go to wash it the emulsion around the design comes offf too

[@MoneyNandomode]

I have this same issue that why I came to this video for

[@dantheman6583]

I’m actually starting like a little clothing brand (got inspiration from you and some other brands) with screen printing and this was like perfect timing thanks ChinaTown Market!

[@DENNISANIEMEKE-lt6yw]

Thanks so much. Wasn't taught this in art school so I've been looking for this. Glad I found this.

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

So simple yet cool. Thank you for this fun tutorial. God bless 🙏🏼🙂❤

[@dsp4392]

Thanks for explaining the process so clearly. The process to "burn" the screen is surprisingly similar to how that green color (called solder mask) is added on printed circuit boards.

[@lhaaq]

how can this video so short but very informative in a fun way. seriously I watched longer video and learned nothing with their so complicated explanation. I know I'm late for this due to so many options to print nowadays. but i think I can still give a shot to this old method of printing. Thanks

[@PRTYANMLZ]

But how to clean it off after ?

[@TheMiridian]

Yes! That's why I watched the video.. I wanna know if I get to keep my designed screen.? I don't want anyone copying my art.

[@merchanthandson5271]

I have question. I dont have know anything about this. Does the black color only will be burned or could use other dark color. And the parts you dont want to burn should be white?

[@eg5595]

I think so. The black, will make the openings or the negative space on the screen. Then you spray wash those places from the emulsion which now creates openings that allow ink to be pressed through with a squeegee

[@williamsobers5057]

Does it matter which type emulsion? There are several types on Amazon. Do you have a video on how to use the vector image as a negative? Thanks

[@d34thwish]

Did you find out which type emulsion is best?

[@bradwhite3587]

Like it but is there a bulb model number you are using in the headlamp?

[@annmarieboyle7387]

LOVE THE JOY IN THIS VIDEO!!!!

[@shasha-muse6054]

Thank you 1000 times. This is straight, simple and to the point. I can't thank you enough. Peace and love.👍👍👍

[@magnumAenus]

been wanting to make my own designs on jackets and this actually the easiest and greatest tutorial for beginner like me

[@ApriliaClothing]

Great success always uncle. Very inspired. HEALTHY greetings.

[@andygrice424]

I used to do that. We had a darkroom, drying station. Exposure room.

[@jaketsotadze9509]

What size screen, coat scooper, and transparency paper did you use for this vid?

[@nssdesigns]

So was that justca LED light or halogen?

[@mudithamadawa7510]

Thanks for your video. It’s great. What’s the bulb used to expose a silk screen.

[@DroidsR_Us]

I needed this. It'll give me some motivation to finally setup my screen printing machine after a year :')

[@chameelatorrence6935]

You are not alone my friend. Lol😂

[@mandoavalosss2771]

Did you do it?

[@raymonddiaz442]

Simplified it well, how strong should the light be?

[@raymonddiaz442]

Any lamp recommendations?

[@reymendoza7134]

What color emulsion do you use? Does it matter? How dark should a room be when adding the emulsion? Can I use a uv light to burn the screen?

[@agm032064]

loved this. what was the wattage of the flood light. i used a 500 watt for five minutes and got serious underexposure. thanks

[@emilyeah]

Your voice is so soothing, I'm almost falling asleep 😽

[@DailyHistoryVideos]

This video is excellent. Quick and to the point. Great detailed directions. Great camera angles.

[@7somekindofsomething]

Do you rinse the leftover ink off with the hose again then? Or can this damage the screen if done too often.

[@kishawooten2535]

Do you have to put emulsion on each time for same design?

[@CCTV.021]

I love this so much. Chinatown market honestly one of my favorite brands. You guys are killing it!

[@AsRmNinemilli9]

Is there a specific list there that used? I would like to get it to follow every step, such as writting on the transparent screen

[@Musiclover6404]

Do you have to heat press that or can you just let it air dry and how long will it last if you heat press versus letting that shirt air dry?

[@Craft_Build97]

Is screening printing good on polyester? Do you need different paint or different amount of time under the light?

[@jorgevillaneda8741]

how did you dry and for how long did you dry the emulsion with the blow-dryer??

[@StarsMadeOfGlass]

How dark does the room need to be for applying the emulsion? Is it like just enough light to see by? How long does the emulsion last for once it's open?

[@harleyjune1233]

thanks for this tutorial but did i miss material shopping list with links? what type of emulsion? what type iof light in dark room are you using to prevent photosensitive emuslsion fior being reactive? where can i grab the scoop tray and what brand? thanks

[@glacialimpala]

I wonder how does this type of printed shirt compare to direct print, flock etc in terms of durability to wear and washing

[@bfyre1]

so when you create the emulsion you dont have to worry about paint getting on unwanted areas that have the emulsion correct?

[@JUKEJAM.]

Can you wash all of the emulsion off the screeen afterwards?

[@GloriaFoster-w5d]

Thank you!!!! You are simply the best!!! ❤❤❤

[@c0pyimitati0n]

I worked at the largest screen printing manufacturer in Ohio for a few years and our darkroom had dark red lights. Not sure if it was a certain kind or just any red would do, but it is def a lot better than pure black.

[@Bellinissima]

Holy Cow Thanks Tek! Funny, dun, short, concise, great use of sfx and music. I'm so glad I found your video 🥺🙌🏽

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

Good job man quick n easy How to video

[@Zerozsaber]

Can I use a uv curing light? Like one that I'd use for curing resin?

[@quinnwiggz6010]

Is it the light that exposes the screen or the heat it gives off?

[@wildbillcustoms]

Is there a specific emulsion that needs to be used or it doesn’t really matter

[@nathanduran9099]

if you print something out does it burn onto the screen with the same process or is it done differently?

[@blakecarmona4632]

Any tips on what emulsion is best

[@avellajis]

saw another video and was discouraged but now I wanna try it bc you made it look easier

[@kenmfckr3914]

Is there any missing step after you wash the exposed screen to printing process? I mean, no harter liquid for that?

[@jeremiahjohnson2741]

is that some sort of special opaque sharpie marker? I didn't think regular sharpies were opaque enough.

[@hermanalily4814]

And why you need the clear big square? I didn’t understand that part

[@emilyb3428]

The short is so dope. I literally learn new things every episode. Love it.

[@escobaresco1895]

I did this 7 years and all the art designs on Adobe illustrator and Photoshop.

[@S03_]

Is it the same process if you use your traditional paper print out?

[@Themagicbusofficial]

How did the paint got throw.. after you washed it it’s created a hole 🕳 in the sheet?

[@andiwh0]

Thanks for this tutorial! Really helpful. Just wondering my led lamp is 100W , how long should I expose the light? Some say 5 sec, 10 sec , up to 5 to 10 min... I’m really confused. Thanks for any help!

[@teesprintandapparel]

did you ever find out this answer? i’m searching…

[@rbtmachinery_michaelzheng7264]

Nice and professional. Great work

[@livingart.series5358]

Can you reuse the screen or do you have to replace them for every new design?

[@amyrapin5707]

Thanks ! Super helpful! ?? Do you print without any paper between the front and back of T?

[@mirocalderon5606]

can I use a red light when putting emulsion? Kinda like a dark-room?

[@donchivanco9921]

You don’t know the description of the market he used to draw on the transparency film ?

[@Txaded]

Yes the red light is the same as darkness

[@moisttatertots]

What do you do with the shirt once you’ve applied the paint? Do I need to put it in the dryer or something?

[@NMranchhand]

Good, good video to start off with. Nice orientation. Thank you.

[@ameliagibson4919]

Do you have a list of the tools needed? And I don’t understand the process of the light.

[@fermillepeligrino1860]

Can the old silkscreen be used to create another design???

[@Kateryna-M]

Cool video, thank you! Few questions: what's the blow dryer temperature? How bright is the lamp?

[@Mistyvalentine]

I learned how to do this in a 10th-grade art class at Berea High School in Berea Ohio in 1980!

[@eveclementine4093]

Do you mean heat lamp or is there a specific thing called a headlamp for this process?

[@jacoblaforge7806]

I love how helpful they are to everyone

[@thehumgrumbler]

I’ve been looking into doing some screen printing :) thanks for the tutorial, friends ✌🏼

[@EPHONIC]

Does this have to be done in pitch black or can it be in a small room with blackout curtains? How about a darkroom lamp? Is that needed?
