Part 1 - AMAZINGLY Simple way to make A Photo and Put it On a Shirt!

[@michelemyankazt6657]

I am a graphic arts major and I love screen printing. This is my new favorite way to do tshirts. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@stevenloki1678]

Michele Myankazt Question how to do multiple colors with it? :0

[@michelemyankazt6657]

You have to do a screen for each section with the same color; for example if his eyes and hat feather are both blue they would be on the same screen separate from everything else. I hope I am not confusing you. Good luck on your shirts, please send me a pic if you do one with multiple colors.

[@normanm11]

I think you should check the definition of the "simple" word again.

[@sarraat.khaphaji6860]

Norman Mont definitely 😅

[@maitecabrejas3077]

Cremas tartas para veganos

[@InfinityPlaylist]

there is a eazyer way

[@LockIsGaming]

Norman Mont lol!

[@ayushi4162]

😂😂😂 lol true!... this seems really complicated!..😕😕😕

[@gracelaforge9778]

Yes simple is relative...but after years of teaching art, I gave up on all the work it takes to make screens, stretch, coat, expose and reclaim. Maybe this year my students will get the chance to experience the fun of screenprinting with these products. Thank you for a great tutorial...my students will definitely enjoy your video, too...as I did. Know anyone who wants a pile of old screens?

[@terri9387]

Great idea. It's about the quality of the print. You can clearly see it comes out very well, and the face you can reuse it over and over, it's excellent.

[@ToaSirian]

this is far beyond simple, my friend

[@smellyrhinostudio]

I love your product. So much quicker than traditional screenprinting.

[@lujitsu1251]

Rebecca Salcedo you look delicious. Contact me, we will hookup.

[@journeyappareltv3894]

Big Nate you are insane bro! This video is one of the many I watched back when I first started printing shirts. Thanks for influencing my printing career from the get-go.

[@rich9551]

Some folks are fussy, I think you did an amazing job, thank you so much for the information

[@francesball4461]

Hi Nate, I enjoyed the video, best one I have seen..... Question.... it all looks straight forward and affordable except for the light....for the exposure could I buy a workers light 50w halogen ?? otherwise..? all that is holding me back form making some funking prints... is this ...thanks

[@jmjdeist]

Does the blue mesh behind the emulsion paper come with it? If not, is it necessary to buy? Also, what did you use for the black exposure board? Is it anything special or can you use any black surface (or whatever color the ink is going to be)? Last thing, how much is a pack of transparency papers? Great video, thanks!

[@deelugo6837]

Very good video and explanation. Thank you so much-I am going to try this. If I don't buy a kit what mil transparency do I need?

[@SAkash-hj1jl]

I like this method. Can this work for color inks also, and if yes where do I get them? Thanks.

[@WENDLEtheOWL]

Thanks for the video. Does the ink not go through to the back layer of the t-shirt?

[@3freeet948]

One question, but are they washable?

[@alterpunx]

yes

[@NateScreenPrints1]

Yes. The print is higher quality than most store bought shirts I have. They last a very long time, through numerous washes. I hope you will check out this video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn_Wd6ein6l4eLs

[@3freeet948]

NateScreenPrints1 Awesome, thanks for the tutorial!

[@taywusiew]

NateScreenPrints1

[@Kabira747]

that depends on the ink you use. SPeedball is just one silk scree ink. I use others fro hi-end results. Heat - press to fix the pigments and yes , its very washable.

[@chunkynerdet1802]

I'm buying this kit now turn my art to shirts I can wear so cool

[@youdont_needit]

Is the transparency paper you use, the type teachers would use on projectors back in the day? I'm just curious.

[@seanwilkinson3975]

I finally understand how screenprinting works. With the emulsion dissolved, the fine screen holds the image and all its fine details in place, then when you squeegee on the ink, it seeps through the screen but not the solid parts. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@NateScreenPrints1]

Yessir! Great summary! I tried my best to explain how it works here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYWrf42hgct3n6c

[@firefly3035]

Very cool, thanks! Question: how does the ink hold up in the washing machine/ how soon after screen printing can you wash the shirt?

[@starmike10]

where did you buy the exposure board? thanks

[@dutenn]

Reading most of these comments, if seems the word "easy" must only be used if something is free and requires nothing more than oxygen to achieve or a ton of brats will be furious! You would think someone stole their money with these rude comments. Pitiful

[@khunthate]

what is that black board? also, where did you get the glass (plastic) you put on top of the emulsion sheet?

[@locoxellas]

could you tell me which kind of trasparent paper did you use so i could find it on my country? thanks

[@Bonesph]

You can also do it using Mod Podge and silk screen. Joanns didn't have silk screen I used cheap wedding veil fabric for my prints.

[@maudthemoth]

Hi! Do you know if these screens can also be used for bleach-dying? thanks!

[@dreglanoth3320]

my dad's a graphic designer. he taught me how to screen print. it's pretty cool

[@Helvetica09]

This looks so much easier and less space consuming than actually frames! You can just put all the designs in a folder instead of needing huge screens! Also less fumes and mess (especially if you have nosy cats)!

[@OIE82]

Clear instructions. I think I will give it a try. I like the pre-sensitized sheets. Gonna check them out.

[@victoriawilson6891]

I didn't see you use something to separate the front and back when you applied the ink, does the ink not soak through to the back?

[@user-lc4zz5tk9n]

it didn't seem that simple, seems like a lot of stuff you'd have to buy first

[@NateScreenPrints1]

Everything you need comes this convenient kit and you can save 15% with Nate15 at checkout. Its really super simple. it only looks like it isnt at first: ezscreenprint.com/products/diy-screen-printing-complete-starter-kit

[@eddymunster4857]

ᖇᗩᑎ 1 up the punks bro! yeah takes a little bit of cash to get started i ghetto'd my shirts at first a buck for an actual screen...like a window screen and staple gunned it to a wooden picture frame that i got from dollar tree and 4 bux on tulips SOFT ink.. i perfer it over speedball plus i hand cut my stencils.. including a 4 dollar shirt..cheapest I've found especially if youre just makin a few for you and possibly some friends

[@alielshikh5037]

Eddy Munster Excuse me could you tell me which type of paper you used in printing and she plastic sheet and the name of painting color and how I get it from London

[@eddymunster4857]

ali elshekh i dont do it the way he does but his way: you need the clear plastic transfer here give me a second and i can get you a link

[@l4ur790]

Eddy Munster the legend says that ali elshekh is still waiting for the link

[@teganlewis6091]

i wanna put my designs on tshirts but what if different colours are involved will i have to individually paint in each detail with fabric paint???

[@rickcontreras59]

Thank you I have learned so much from this video. I have a mac and the soft was free?

[@ASoloStampede]

This is a really awesome technique, thnx for sharing it. I was looking for a simpler way to screen print, but on-demand style. This is definitely a great way to do it. I love that fact that you dont need to use a bulky wood or metal frame, just simple sheets.

[@NateScreenPrints1]

Thank you! Finally! A man that gets it! Sheesh. so much negativity.

[@gunneraitsu2735]

How strong is the light you used? How long would you have to let the shirt dry without a hair dryer? Alsooo how long should you iron the shirt with parchment paper?

[@themistoklis6237]

Have you tried UV lights? What kind of fluorescent lights are you using.

[@palacinkasmarmeladou]

Thank you for the tutorial. Never done screen printing so it's interesting way to make own shirts. I used to do my illustrations similar way as you did the first part. I draw a picture in pencil, than outlined in ink pen or Sharpie, erase the pencil than scan it into computer and saved it in black and white picture document. Cleaned it up. Than saved it in multicolor and filled in color. It came out pretty good. Anyway....have you tried print on iron on paper and than use heated iron to transfer on shirt? I wonder how is it different than screen printing when it comes to quality?

[@w0lfman6]

Do you have a link where to purchase that light or did you make the legs yourself?

[@SP330Y]

@NateScreenPrints1 Can you screen print onto metal panels with the same process?? I want to print onto a metal back panel of my hifi, with things like outputs,speakers,a and b etc

[@MomoDearestt]

Do you need sublimation ink for your inkjet printer? Does this work with color???

[@hozelda]

Really nice clear video. It's easy for what you get and once you have familiarity with software, phone, ordering packages, etc. I don't see in general why vector graphic is necessary (or for that matter black print), but I have not done this before (just watched youtube vids). Vector graphics would help to avoid blocky/pixelly edges on pic if the resolution is a problem. Maybe it is (haven't done it so don't know). Black could be preferred to really block the UV light if for some reason light colors fail at this.

[@patrickcollins7030]

Any tips on color prints with sunlight reactive ink?

[@vikki89howe]

Hey this looks really good,where did you get your light from?

[@emfrena]

Thank you! My daughter is going to love this set up for her birthday day, without the light source it was less than $200. Where can I get the light you used for developing? I appreciate your effort and by my estimation it was easy and very inexpensive.

[@karenhansen3374]

Hi Nate, Great video! Do you have any suggestions of where to buy emulsion sheets/screenprint sheets for us who live in Europe? Getting it from the US is crazy expensive with customs/import charges.

[@MagikalMommy]

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of thing ive been looking for! Im ordering a kit this week. Cant wait!

[@ttg5165]

please, I'm from Brazil...where I can get this emulsion sheet? is it expensive?

[@unplayedpiano7039]

Nate- I've been looking at high-end designers like Alexander McQueen, Vivenne Westwood, etc. Do you know what kind of inks they are using?

[@trxxxtr]

how do you use other colors? lk I'm thinking of mkn my own bands shirts but I'd like to be able to use more then one color. how does one accomplish this?

[@pottasium7117]

Hey, what kind of Inc is useable for shirt's so it doesent wash?

[@orionnightingale7036]

What kind of ink did you use? Wouldn't it be necessary to heat the ink for it to be printed permanently on the shirt?

[@Deenews421]

Hey Nate,thanks so much for all that great info! I have a question: If I create my own designs is the process still the same? Do I just take a picture of it or will it not look the same as taking a picture of a print from a magazine or book?

[@latonianealey3087]

I like that less stress👩‍🏫☕☕🧾🤝💯🙏🏽🙀

[@TruthSpeaks]

Did you use a standard stencil or one of their Hi def stencils?

[@carlosirizarry2031]

Can you do that with different colors?

[@karmadesigns]

How do you store your burned screens after you clean and dry them?

[@wranefis]

Do you think this method is better than the one where they use an iron to transfer the image ?

[@imfeelingluckypunk492]

Why do u have 2 email it when u can connect a data cable and copy the file?..

[@cryptopotamus1465]

Is it possible to give us a link to all the products and equipment that is needed, also roughly how much does it cost per print?

[@akubaru18]

can u tell me, what is the name of the application? i'm interested with that tracing...

[@tangotech32]

What is the life of the image. Till How many washes the image quality stay intact.. Please answer. Thanks for the video.

[@HeLSPQR]

Outstanding when you do not have all stuff to produce a silkscreen with wood, glass, etc... GR8!

[@starmike10]

also when soaking under water a blue mesh sheet appears and you dont talk about that. what is it? is full of holes

[@deleon3613]

Nice work but what program do you use??

[@oilpit7080]

hello do u have a tutorial on how to do multiple colors

[@cristintrimble4992]

In the program could you have made that picture all red instead of black?

[@azimpetra]

Does the ink seep through to the back of the shirt? Did you place something in the shirt? Like a card board or something.

[@NateScreenPrints1]

I have not had an issue with ink bleeding through. If you are going to be using thinner type material, it might be a problem. Putting cardboard in the middle to be safe is a good idea. Thanks!

[@pedromendez2300]

Hey Nate, to many people ask you how call the green sheet (exposure aheet), tell us, please.

[@JudiChristopher]

I am so impressed!!! ...My friend had a Silk Screening Business and she would have flipped out to SEE how Simple you made this... I watched her work for hours to do what you just did... "WOW... this is soooo cool... How much did this cost you?

[@maga-blanco6366]

Hi i would like know, how you dry the print on the t-shirt for the designs do not fall with washing. Thanks

[@NateScreenPrints1]

After letting the ink dry, i heatset the design by ironing or putting it in the dryer on permanent press. They ink is permanent, high quality and will not come off during a washing.

[@maga-blanco6366]

Hi, thanks, i have other question Can you clean the leave for print again a new desing, or this leave only work for one disign? thanks.

[@ronnyboy8189]

Does it matter which side i print the ink on the transparency sheet?

[@katiecupcakee]

This is so awesome but I'm wondering are there copyright issues with doing this?

[@NateScreenPrints1]

+Katie Marie There is nothing wrong with using images you find for your own use. The issue comes about when you try to sell shirts with images you do not own or have a license to use. I would make sure any image you chose, you understand what sort of copyright is attached, some are creative commons, some are fair use.

[@alexleyva843]

NateScreenPrints1 what's the blue thing called

[@sanitanicole]

If you make changes to it you can sell it on T-shirt it can’t look just like the image

[@rodrigo.guimaraes]

Can you use the transparency more than once?

[@nerogirls6]

Can u buy larger sheets i do screen printing and this seems so much simpler than the screen and it might ne cheaper

[@jasonenz4238]

How did you get an inkjet printer to print out such an opaque transparency? Good video!!!

[@prisillaspace]

This IS AMAZING!! Thanks!!!! Considering the process with a framed screen and using photo emulsion, this really simplifies it....less time too...I hope to buy the kit soon, is the discount code still good???

[@daniamalki]

Thank you for the Inkscape reference especially the Trace bitmap tip!

[@blueback21]

Does that ink need to be heat set

[@brianabeyta3858]

What transparency paper do you use? Where can i get that paper? Tried some old school transparency paper but ink didn't attach

[@NateScreenPrints1]

I assume you are using an ink jet printer. You need to get transparency film that is specifically for inkjet printers. On side will be coated so the ink will dry and become permanent. I get mine at EZscreenprint.com (save 15% with Nate15 at checkout.)

[@olliejohnson7446]

Can you re-use the same print sheet?

[@tange-lq5jg]

so if I order fifty an need them this weekend how will you manage to do it

[@flashgames1273]

Do you need an UV light? Or is the normal one alright?

[@tan89284]

Only problem is, if anyone thought this was a good idea for a shop, you'd come across copyright infringement problems. It's best to create your own graphic to put on shirts.

[@sanitanicole]

Tanya P he can make changes to it to make it his own as long as it do look just like the image he can put it on a T-shirt to sell

[@Darklord666._.]

Do you think this would work with a pencil drawing I took a pic of? Or would I need to somehow change it to be all black?!

[@cantrollmyrs]

Wouldnt it be better to use a silhouette cameo and wax paper? Saves a ton of time. Sublimation may end up also being cheaper and easier.

[@miedymallosi1037]

what that film name? same like emulsion,but very easy...

[@simehong2000]

how long that ink will still in the cloth after washing

[@JaanaJ1]

A what about the back part of the t-shirt? Do I have to secure it in some way?

[@charliebrown9250]

Looks simple, I am going to try and buy the kit. Hopefully it will turn out alright... Thank you

[@donnielowe6693]

I am a commerical graphic artist and this is an awesome, simple way to start screenprinting. Shameful that there are so many negative comments but obviously from those who are extremely ignorant and lazy. Obvously it's the young people, they're ruining our world from their complete ignorance and zero work ethic. Good job! Thank you for sharing!

[@landowalker5479]

So really this could be made with the minimum of the transparency paper, the emulsion sheets, ink and squeeqee? Am I missing anything else?

[@stetsonbloom]

Love the music. What's the track?

[@bricecenter]

I second this. Let us know the music +NateScreenPrints1.

[@MidnightH3ro]

hey man a lot of these people are lazy and have no idea how hard "real" screen printing can be. this is extremely easy and I definitely want to try this. will buying the $50 dollar kit includes everything you used in this video? great video man don't listen to these people

[@MidnightH3ro]

IVANZ WORLD you so mad lmao

[@aasiyahmuhammad4028]

treshawn wilson woah woah woah! *$50 kit?!???!!!?!*

[@bubblebass1902]

Aasiyah Muhammad 50 DOLARS?! That's outrageous 😤

[@teeshac8421]

50 isn't a lot for that..

[@bubblebass1902]

Teesha c: sarcastically speaking

[@liamreeves2882]

Does the image have to be black an white or can you use colour

[@jayeshadk2443]

Please guide on halftone print

[@lanceredmon12]

What is a cheaper way to do that? I went to ezprint site to look at kits and refills for those stencil sheets and it's $30 and you only get 2 or 3. That's only 2 or 3 art designs.

[@ckiles6]

Where did you get the legs for the light?

[@CreativeSoulTV]

Thanks for making a great tutorial video using EZscreen, I've tried it but had no luck with burning the image on the screen. Maybe my EZscreen is old so after watching your video I will try it again!

[@NateScreenPrints1]

I hope you do! and they can do bad after several months and not be able to be exposed. They recommend putting them in the Fridge to extend their life if that helps. :)

[@CreativeSoulTV]

Thanks for the help, I will place my next order in the fridge for sure!

[@elimitchell6147]

Can i use my canon pixma for the transparency sheets

[@secedenis777]

when I printed on the transparency its very smudgy. It doesn't really dry. Why?

[@yasminmousa3358]

Thank you for the simple technique for screen printing..

[@dnovasoulja114]

how long does the design actually stay on the shirt/? does it peel off quick

[@klararotenmayer7186]

DnovaSoulja actually i painted on pillow case with fabric colors and i wash it on low temperature and it stays as it is, it doesn't fade and comes off, just buy good fabric color and you won't have any problems 😁

[@NateScreenPrints1]

Speedball is very high quality ink in my opinion. The prints are higher quality than most store bought graphic tees. I have shirts that have shown no sign of wear after years of wearing weekly. This video talks more about it :kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn_Wd6ein6l4eLs

[@johnacsyen]

is it possible to mount the ezprint on a screenprinting frame?
