Hi. I'm new to screen printing and was having problems with ink lifting off shirt. Came across you channel and found what the problem was and now in the process of correcting the off contact. Thanks for the great tip. Now I think I know why the ink was bleeding through the shirt because it was sitting on the shirt and not above. Once again thanks for the fire 🔥 information. May God continues to bless you to bless others.

I have 230 screens mesh, I used UV light 500 but the image comes out well but when I washing the image some parts will washing out. my question is that, do I have to wash the image from the inside of the mesh or the outer layer of the mesh. I used AP Blue Emulsion

I've been trying to figure out for months why some of my test prints had issues after I lifted the screen. I always thought it had to be right on top of the shirt. This is a great video for us new beginners. Definitely earned a subscriber.

Hi John. I learnt setting off-contact is required when you are using plastisol inks. But not necessary with water-based inks.

[@sraboniashraf6138]

[@woodardproducts6962]

Good example bro! Great video!

[@tainoink]

Appreciate it!

[@andrewcate9428]

Cheers to a year old video comment! Besides more colors do you miss the old reiley press? Im in the market to upgrade and would love to hear what you thought about the reiley.

[@Breezyjay]

Instead of using the gildan cardboard, Do you think using nickels for printing on hoodies will work?

[@benhummer185]

Thank you, very much, man!

[@airyndadis7731]

What ink are best for clothing brands? Plastisol or waterbased? And is it ok to off contact on waterbased inks?

[@mgoiink4739]

I got u Mr.Taino

[@inkowl7408]

It would be a great help for many online sellers if you can make a video on screen printing branded poly mailers

[@tainoink]

Thank you for the idea. Will be looking into that.

[@Tim.McElheny]

I have a suggestion - take close up photos of each print. Then, edit the photos so it is a split screen that shows the same area of each print. That way we can see a direct side by side of the same portion of the print.

[@tainoink]

Thank you Great idea. I will keep that in mind.

[@jameskim6946]

Thank you Taino, can you make review on your dryer?

[@tainoink]

Sure, I will.

[@ajharris90]

I have a question. I adjusted my off-contact and my screen is just above the shirt but the screen is not snapping back. Am I using too much pressure to clear the screen?

[@tainoink]

That means you have to go higher on the off contact and make sure the screen tension is good.If the screen tension is not tight that might be your problem.

[@Ramellosugahill]

could i do this with micro registration press im looking into buying one? Yeah saw the fibers on no off contact.

[@tainoink]

Yeah. Micro registration presses should have the off contact nob.

[@Ramellosugahill]

@@tainoink fantastic I'll watch your video an relearning everything I forgot about

[@champstylebeats2628]

Hey bro does cheap ink fade away after 1 wash?

[@tainoink]

Ink washes away when it has not cured well.

[@champstylebeats2628]

Ok.. Where are you located

[@sthembisomthembu395]

@@champstylebeats2628 whatup with the creepy questions

[@jimkozikis892]

Looks like the shirt without the off contact moved. When the off contact is to high the screen life will also be diminished. Your tension won’t hold up as long.

[@Stewsdrums]

The best printers for multicolored high mesh count, high detail prints do not use off contact but they do use very thin inks. Great Dain Graphics is one example that prints CMYK 303 mesh with NO off contact. There is NO stencil drag.

[@Pitsomerch]

That a Thunder or Lightning press? Looking into buying a new one.

[@tainoink]

Thunder
