Cool to see another person document the beautiful struggle that is Screen Printing. Nice job figuring it all out.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot Cam! Been watching your videos for a little over a year now, so it's cool to see you've found one of mine. You've been a big help without even know it. Keep up the killer work 🤘🏻

[@brandoncrenshaw4191]

both of you guys make awesome videos man. seriously has been a huge amount of help for me. keep them coming! I have a brand and I'm screen printing my own shirts. I watch you guys videos daily on repeat to take in all the information.

[@alexweldon2412]

MAN. Between you and Cam over at The Print life, I’m claiming it now, I WILL start my own print biz. Love you guys keep it up.

[@brandonduong]

Good to see some rare support in this industry. Very humbling.

[@CesarCityPalacios]

"Big props to all the self taught screen printers" We started 2 years ago. Still learning to this day but we have been sharpening our skills in the screen printing industry. Thanks Lee, your videos have inspired me on my toughest days when learning screen printing. I've been a fan for about a year and decided to watch your journey from the beginning. Thanks. Greetings from Houston, Texas.

[@ernestovarela192]

Love the honesty from this guy ... Something like that this days it’s priceless... Gods job.Super hard-worker ,smart,and honest. I’ll be back for more grate videos

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot man, love hearing that stuff comes across in these videos

[@madmook90]

Just inherited/ took over a screen printing shop from my homie who passed in January. I’ve been getting hella frustrated self teaching myself the ins and outs but after subscribing and watching your vids I’m back pumped to keep trying to get it and not give up and keep his 15yr screen printing legacy going. So big thanks to you bro for that motivation. Wishing you continuous growth and success 🙏🏾

[@leestuart38]

Keeping it going is a cool thing of you to do 🙌🏻. Definitely don't give up, it takes a lot of trial and error before things start working out...I'm still running into things daily. But once you get the basics it's a much easier time

[@naithanbohan4730]

Confidence is key homie! Stay Confident, Stay driven, Stay humble and you'll never fail! We're proud of you big dog!!

[@leestuart38]

That's what's up 🙌🏻. Thanks man

[@RookieMistakeYT]

Best of luck to you hope everything works out!

[@deanroberts6186]

@Lee you are doing a phenomenally good job man. Loving your videos so far. I started working in the fashion industry in about 2003 at a screen printing company and have few pointers you might wanna try. Apologies if you resolved these issues and mentioned them in later videos. 1. when creating your separation artwork, wherever possible put a 0.5 point outline on your designs. Then when it comes to your base white, make sure it has no outline. when you start laying colours on top of your base white they should match up perfectly and will give you way less registration issues. 2. when you create your registration marks, make the lines thinner, a 0.5 or 0.25 point. it makes lining up your registration between colours a whole lot more accurate and easier. 3. use clear tape over your registration marks on the screen when you start printing colours. easy to wipe away ink when lining up colours if you need to make micro adjustments to your registration. Keep up your awesome work man.

[@Misbiatch]

Love watching your videos and the fact you don’t sugar coat shit and show the trials and errors of screen printing! Now that’s keeping it real! Great job.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot 👊🏻. I always make sure to keep it real on here above anything else

[@alessandrolo3863]

It's tough starting your own company and venturing out. Much respect my friend for putting yourself out there and sharing. Keep it up man, rooting for your success and thank you for the inspiration!

You took the time on screen printing and went through every aspect, that’s why it came out so well.

[@leestuart38]

Always gotta take the time to learn things properly, and I still have a lot more learning to do but that's half the fun. Thanks man

[@saltcityhustlin3152]

So awesome to see Lee. I’ve been waiting to launch my stuff for almost a year. You’ve got a fire under my ass again. Much love and respect.

Awesome to hear that man, I hope you do! Good luck!

[@sleepinglabradors]

Well done Lee!! I’m so excited to see what else you have cooking up!

[@petercole2339]

been following now for several weeks and I can say you def have the best screenprinting content on KZbin!!... and then I find out you just started this January!!!!. Damn man that's some ballsy shit!. I print in S.C. and have been thinking about going out on my own.. I have a goal to do vintage/retro style artwork on a smaller scale than the large production/low quality printing I am currently doing..You and your companies are an inspiration to work harder toward my goal! Keep up the good work !! We love seeing the progress you've made this year!!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man, glad to hear that! I've been putting in serious work to get good at this stuff in the short amount of time I've been doing 🤘🏻. Hope you pull the trigger on it yourself

[@Mitchbrazy22]

Diazo emulsions are the cheapest screen printing emulsion option. SBQ-based emulsions come in one pot with no mixing required. They cure extremely quickly - within seconds - when exposed to UV light. The more delicate bonds created by SBQ-based emulsions make the emulsions a good choice for detailed work

[@jameshinrichs4811]

Glad to see you got it figured out. Screen printing seems like a royal pain. So awesome your putting up daily videos again !

[@leestuart38]

It's definitely not easy, but it's really fun once you figure it out!

[@benborgic8668]

I am currently on your step 2 video in my learning process. I have greatly enjoyed watching someone else go through the same struggles! I also came into this well read but with no experience thinking it was going to be easy. Oh how I was wrong! We actually purchased the same exact kit that you are using so it's been nice seeing someone use the same equipment. Today was a frustrating day with exposure but watching these got me stoked about trying again tomorrow!

[@leestuart38]

It's definitely not an easy thing to jump right into like we did, but with enough practice and patience it pays off 🤘🏻

[@benborgic8668]

Dark room stuff is working great now. Added another point to the choke of my underbase so registration was a breeze this time. I'm literally living your first experience! So many highs and lows but my first customer order will be going out the door tomorrow looking perfect

[@GrumpyGarry121]

Patience, test, check, measures, test check, measure.......... I did this 5 times before drilling my rear wheel rotor when I realised I had it upside down. Another rotor in post 😬 love your attention to detail, your video work in the past shows this and now your applying it to screen printing. Well done that man! Your not gonna want to hear this but if you can’t get 10/10 and make money a 9 might have to do. I am pretty sure your nine will be better than any other service you had. I started a successful business 19 years ago with hardly a penny to my name....... hard work and patience does pay off!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man. I'm all about hard work and persistence so we're going to set a new standard in the local market and hopefully take over 🤘🏻

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot man, can't wait to see how much better it gets with more practice

[@bigdaddyprofit]

i heatpress all my shirts. my current set up doesn't include a dryer so it's a good way to get product out and offer something big shops don't really do. it takes longer, but personally i like the finish better. you can also test different wax papers or parchment papers to give it a different finish

[@leestuart38]

It's definitely a nice touch. I mainly use the parchment paper, but in this case they liked the glossy look so we went with the Teflon

[@bigdaddyprofit]

@@leestuart38 your videos are pretty fresh. Subbed.

[@briangutierrez7404]

Great work bro. This gave me a lot of inspiration to do my own thing. I will keep on following you on your journey!

[@leestuart38]

Cool to hear man! Thanks and good luck 🤘🏻

[@roamingscooterguy2786]

I run a manual press also (Hix 6x6 with over 100k prints so far!), if you are having registration problems try pre-flashing your shirts...i.e. Flash-Print-Flash-Print. I almost always have to do that with sweatshirts, but not so much with t-shirts any more. Automatic presses have the advantage for multi colors, squeege pressure can remain constant where manual presses depends so much on the operator. Wait till you get into the 400-500 shirt orders, your squeege pressure will vary greatly over the job!!! Good luck.

[@saul4691]

You are doing the right thing at this point.

[@R0RDOG]

About the screen room safe light, Don't worry about it too much. You can light the room with 40W regular incandescent light, and it wouldn't hurt the unexposed screens a bit.

Use teflon when using the heat press.. you will get amazing results

[@leestuart38]

Exactly what I used. You can also use craft paper or parchment paper and it will give it a matte look instead of the gloss that Teflon does

[@mrjdinner1000]

A fellow Canadian here, great job on the videos! Registration is a crazy animal. What works for me is... Print a paper or positive of your art then glue it to the pallet. Align all your screens to this instead of your base layer. Stencil drag (movement) screws with you every time.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man. It's definitely a bit of an art to master, but I'm figuring out little tricks to make it easier as I go. I've started registering to my positive now and it's definitely a bit easier

What Ink and mesh do you use. You should be able to get a nice print using the right combo without heat press

The print is better than most peoples standards, but it'll never be the same type of smooth as it is when it's pressed. Getting rid of that little bit of texture makes all the difference
