Beginner here: 2 struggles. 1. Placement of design to burn. Left chest print and regular back and front design. And 2: pressure on squeegee when printing.

@richardfoltz-hr7wm 10 ай бұрын

Just always try to keep it the same for all jobs. I use reg marks at top/bottom. I always center art in corel draw. I mark all screens 5' down from both sides and burn it there from where the print will start. I hardly ever have to adjust the platens on my manual or automatic.

I print with a basic wooden frame, on top of a table.The trial and error feedback loop can take so long haha, having to reclaim the screen, coat and expose again, waiting for it to dry each time!

I have lots of experience printing and I have 2 suggestions but also would like to learn from you specifically regarding white ink (your video on white ink was great btw) so maybe I can ask you after these two tips: 1. Get a drill and simple/easy to clean bit to stir those white inks instead of by hand (until we can all afford a revolvink product). Much less tiring! 2. Use glue adhesive or something else other than aerosol to tack down shirts to the platen. I used to use the spray as well but not only is glue much cheaper but it’s much less messy and better for your health. There’s really no downside I’ve found. Takes a bit to get the hang of but once you do you won’t go back. Trust me! You might do web spray sometimes for hoodies but most of the time I don’t. God bless and thanks for sharing your incredible talents.

Hello, I am a beginner and I have some questions that I am spending a lot of time with. 1.- I use glue for the plate but when using the dryer the glue fuses (if I can put it that way) with the ink since when you lift the shirt it stays stuck to the shirt and on the plate the ink is still there as if it were They would have mixed, I use a hair dryer and that doesn't happen, what could it be? 2.- I want to make a design with many details but also letters that come out clear but when I apply pressure with the squeegee the design overflows and loses details (I use 200 and 110 mesh and the same thing happens) I try to give it a height of 1/8 but I don't know what's going on, help please :(

@scotlandskysurf8948 7 ай бұрын

@@BrayanC_C. 1. Watch Golden Press Studio's glue video which covers most things and should answer questions unless I'm able to answer it below. When you apply the glue to the platen you have to flash (or use your hair dryer if you don't have one) to dry it and then you can load the shirts on. 2. There are lots of factors that go into achieving a clean print so here's a few questions to get you started. -Are your screens tight with proper tension? -Are your screens coated too thick? -Did you dry your coated screens properly with shirt side facing down (dried the same way it looks on press)? -Can you split up your design into 2 screens (1 for the more detailed section on a higher mesh and one for the less detailed on a lower mesh)? Or are you on a single station press? -Is your flood stroke causing issue? Should be light to just cover the image -Are you pushing or pulling the squeegee? Pushing, while easier on the body, tends to create problems for beginners who slam and drive the ink smashing through the screen verses pulling the squeegee toward you-start with more of an upright angle and adjust from there. Avoid "smooshing" and watch a few other pull printers to study their technique. -Is your squeegee nice and sharp? If you're pulling (which I'd recommend), ensure you have a little bit of flex on the blade but not too much. Also use a higher durometer squeegee if needed. -Is your off contact even? If you have too much of a tilt between the front and back of the screen (or side to side) that can cause problems-as long as it's pretty close it should be fine. -Are you measuring the off-contact from the shirt to the screen or the platen to the screen? Do it from the shirt. You want approximately a nickel's thickness between the shirt and the bottom of the screen to start and you can adjust from there...As long as your screen pops off the shirt after you print you'll be good (less is better than too much). And Mylo would probably add, stir, STIR, STIIIRRR your inks!! Hope that helped and I'm sure others can also help if you're still having issues with the print. Keep practicing, don't give up, keep adjusting tactics until you find what works. God bless

@@scotlandskysurf8948hi there I'm also a beginner I'm still not sure whether to go for a Dtg or a dtf printer. I'm wanting to specialize in gym clothing and not sure what is best, I have heard that dtf printing can have that plastic feel. Then there is the price lol as it can be very expensive for both type printers, as a beginner and still have a full time job working 9-6 five days a week I wouldn't be using the printers that often so chances are I'll lend up getting clogged ink. I don't know the best course of action and I'm actually struggling to find dtf and Dtg printers that are not 10k plus surely there are cheaper alternatives?

Solid process man! For the end of the video, the Q&A part, something I think can help the process starts with the artwork section, as well as the screen coating section. You mention you cut in (inside stroke) the artwork because of blowout. This is where the screen coating comes into play. 156 is definitely the right call for mesh count. The thing I encourage you to at least mess around with is the coating. Sharp side of the coater definitely, BUT less coats. More coats = more ink deposit and higher chance of blowout (in my experience). So try and coat 1 on each side. That helps with ink deposit, and keeps the plastisol thinner on the shirt which is always good. Another factor at play is the squeegee durometer. I don't recall this being mentioned, but it could have been. Anyway, the standard duro seems to be 70, but I've found that to be a bit soft. A mix duro like a 70/90/70 can be a game changer. You still get the softer edge of the 70, but the blade has a slab of 90 duro in the middle so it keep the blade stiffer, resulting is less deposit and sharper prints. An 80 is also a good choice, but is significantly stiffer and I find that much more tiring over time on longer runs. It's a lot harder to print, but it can really MAKE the print depending on that it is. Especially messing with high detailed designs on a 156/200 mesh the 80 duro squeegee can just keep those so much cleaner because of the sharp edge. Solid video man, keep it up. Hopefully some of what I said makes sense and can help some people out there.

Beginner questions (from a hobbyist printing with XTool Screen Printer). 1. How do you line up the t-shirts under the screen? Even if my design is dead-center on the screen, the print might sometimes end up tilted on the t-shirt. This is especially true for larger sizes. 2. How can I make sure that the ink does not dry and clog up my screen while I'm for instance drying the ink after the first print in order to put another layer? Am I using wrong kind of ink when it seems that it dries up on the screen pretty quickly? And thanks for your videos. I really find them informative and helpful, and I find your style pretty encouraging. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

@myloprints 4 ай бұрын

Hey, the way that I line up my t-shirts to get a consistent print all the time. Will be to line the neck collar to the edge of the platen. that should be your guide. Will do a video on this topic pretty soon. you're working with water base inks, which means they air dry quick. To avoid that, after each print flood the design with ink so now air can go in your print and dry it. I hope that makes sense.

Then I'll have issues where I'm blowing out the design with too much ink or not enough ink coming through.

@chankarchandra 10 ай бұрын

Are you applying pressure on your flood stroke? If you are then you may be pushing ink through the screen and when it gets set on the garment for your print stroke you will just squish all that ink onto the garment. How liquid is your ink? To runny and you may kill your design and to thick it won't push through nicely. Great thing about not enough is you can hit it again lightly to try and get a better impression.

@@chankarchandra Thank you so much for your insight. You know, I think I might be applying pressure to the flood. I never thought of that. I feel like my ink flow is pretty good.

If you have access to the original art, try and thicken up the lines if possible even a little helps (unless it takes away from the design). Expose a little less time, but this can cause extra pinholes that would need taping and your screen could breakdown faster. Or try a higher mesh to hold more detail.

Mylo, brother, please help! I've been hooked on your videos for the last couple weeks, watched all of them. I'm a beginning screen printer and I ran into a problem that I can not solve myself. It's off-contact. Whenever I give it a first pass, the print turns out clean and sharp. However, with every following pass I get ink built up on the back side of the screen, which leads to smearing and bleeding. I can't seem to be able to print several clean shirts in a row, with that soup of ink building up on the print side of the screen. I can't believe there's so less information on that issue on KZbin and the web. I'm more than sure that's a common problem with beginners. It would mean the world, if you could give some advise.

You can use a laser printer as long as you have laser-compatible transparency sheets. Basically laser printers use heat to transfer the image to the paper so you need a transparency paper that can withstand the heat. It's the same for sticker labels. They make ink jet compatible sticker paper as well as laser printer compatible sticker paper. I personally prefer laser over ink jet because the cost per print is so much lower. Also, if you don't print enough with ink jet printers, you'll be wasting a ton of ink cleaning those print heads. I can not touch my laser printer for 6 months, and when I go to print, it prints perfect the first time. That is usually not the case with ink jet printers.

Just thinking about getting into this but have no idea at all this was my first video. Is Screen printing the same as the steamed pressed on? Not trying to offend, it does look like a lost art sort of thing.

How far does the screen need to be from the shirt? does it rest on it or hover when you pull or push? Thanks man great vids

That’s the the Off Contact … around a quarter apart … around 1/16 of a inch..

I am having problems with white ink not bleeding through the mesh. Some ink dont go through. My ink was well stirred and warm. But i can't figure out what is causing it.

How to keep my hands clean, there’s always some ink on the frame that I end up touching

Back in the day you HAD to tape up the bottom because frames were wood with the mesh stapled on... tape protected you fingers from getting cut up.

Hi, I'm new in this business and I've tried to print a few sample shirts but they move when I do print flash print. What could be causing that problem?

How to fix my ink spreading

@serinagradeless5138 9 ай бұрын

I’m so new to still and I think my pressure is not consistent enough? I have heavy ink in some places and not enough in others.

Not enough ink being spread evenly across the width of the design is the most likely cause

I’ve been running into the shirt lifting off the plate after first pass

Have you add adhesive to the platen so your t-shirt could stick to it

@richardfoltz-hr7wm 10 ай бұрын

Been doing it 30 years. Like he said, use glue or you have to clear the screen with ink, use more preasure.

beginner screen printer here and the thing im struggling with is how long i should expose my screen for. whenever i try to burn my screen. i wash out my design i always end up washing out my design. i use the speedball emulsion with 110 mesh and 160 mesh

@richardfoltz-hr7wm 10 ай бұрын

Buy good emulsion. I have had 100's of reps come here and tell me how good their emulsion is. I still use elano 1 step emulsion. I burn at 50 seconds, I have an MR exposure unit, which is top of the line. The exposure time would matter to what kind of exposure unit you have. My old one would take 3.30 minutes.
