I can't believe this is your first video!!! the editing is so lovely 🥹 I'd love to see how you use the screen!! and if there are any ways you've made your process more efficient over time!

Ah, thank you so much! I'll be uploading more videos monthly, and these are great suggestions :) My Instagram has a lot of videos on my process over the last few years if you'd like to check that out!

Yes! Drawing right on the transparency def gives your designs a more hand-drawn feel. Thanks so much for watching!

Nice effort 🎉 few things I would like to know as a starter: 1. What no is the mesh you use? 2. For how long under UV light or exposure unit requires? 3. Is it really necessary to emulsify both sides of the screen. I’ll appreciate you’re reply as I am learning from you’re channel

@fromlinetoline 2 ай бұрын

Thanks you! 1. It depends on the print job, but I mostly stick with 155 mesh 2. Also depends on your setup and I mention in the video that I burn my screens for 25-30 seconds 3. I definitely recommend adding emulsion on both sides of the screen Thanks for watching!

thanks for your videos. I followed all your instructions, all in a dark room, using PWR. but when it comes to washing with water to get my image. It was noticeable but I could never get it to clean up. I used a 30w UV lamp for 30 seconds and then 15 seconds and both attempts had the same result. Any recommendation. My first time trying to do this.

@fromlinetoline 11 ай бұрын

hello! thanks for watching. It sounds like your screen is overexposed, which means it's sitting under the light for too long. I'm not sure why the 30 and 15 second exposure would have the same result. Check that your exposure light is the correct distance from the screen and that the screen isn't being prematurely exposed to any light before you're ready to burn it. Also, investing in a step wedge calculator is helpful! there's a list linked in the description.

just an add up, you dont have to dry it overnight, just use a hair dryer and it will be dried up in 5-10 minutes.

I've been seeing your videos on TikTok and was hoping you had YT! So happy to have found it! Would you be willing to make a video going more in depth on your small set up and how you manage it? I am very interested in starting up from home but thinking of using a light as an exposure unit intimidates me, then there's needing a wash booth, dark room, etc. Also, is there anything you'd do differently if you were to start all over? Tips to beginners? Thanks so much! I know I am asking a lot!

@fromlinetoline 6 ай бұрын

I’m so glad you found my channel! 🥹 I’d love to make a video on all those things. For now I will just tell you that screen printing in a small space is definitely possible! Ive never had a dark room and I’ve been managing! 💞

Lots of videos showing “how” but very few showing “why”. Why did you pick that emulsion? Why does the design wash off and emulsion “cooked” layer stay? How much pressure is too much or too little to rinse? Why must the back be taped up? Why did you choose your materials?

@fromlinetoline Ай бұрын

@@seanbabi lol I mention in the video I chose the emulsion because it’s the most forgiving and easy to work with. It’s good for beginners. The design is “cooked” on because that’s what emulsion does. It’s kind of like developing a photo. I couldn’t get into the exact chemical reaction that’s happening there because I’m not a scientist. I tape the back so the ink doesn’t go through the mesh on to the substrate. As for the pressure I use, that’s a preference you’d have to try out yourself to see. I mention in the video to use enough pressure so the emulsion doesn’t fall out of the scoop coater. Same applies when washing your screen. Too much water pressure will blow out your design while too little will not wash it out at all. It’s just something you’d have to try out yourself to figure it out unfortunately. Hope that helps 🫶🏽

@marysabelg Жыл бұрын

You mentioned to apply the emulsion to the scoop coater in the dark but there’s some available natural light in the video. Would you say having a little of natural light is fine? Or was it just for the video? 😅

@fromlinetoline Жыл бұрын

I don't have a dark room, so I always apply my emulsion the way I did in the video! I've found that if you do it quickly, a little light won't hurt :) When you're ready to burn the screen, doing it in the dark is essential! I keep my screen covered with cardboard and the foam I mentioned until I'm ready to turn on the exposure light. Hope that helps :))

Bravo, good job. How do you call the plastic sheet. Thanks a lot.

@fromlinetoline 3 ай бұрын

The sheet I print my design on is called a transparency sheet or inkjet film. The other sheet you might be referring to is the plexiglass I put over my design while burning the screen.

I’m looking to do smaller silkscreens like 5x7 and smaller how would I go about burning screens smaller? Can I make a large screen with the photo emulsion, cut the size I need before I burn them and then burn the smaller screens?

@fromlinetoline 10 ай бұрын

I'd recommend just following the same process! Cutting it to size after coating it might be difficult since you don't want the emulsion to be exposed to ~too~ much light before you're ready to burn your design on it.

How powerful is that LED you use if you don't mind me asking. Looks like mine so I can get a good comparison if I know the strength. How you have things set up is really cool and gives me ideas on how to fix my space up. Honestly just doing it in a single room with everything I own in it but in time it will change.

Your emulsion already looks dry before you set it to dry (mine has never looked that way). I leave mine to dry and it gets stuck to the stuff I left it to dry on. Any advice?

@fromlinetoline 9 күн бұрын

Weird! it's defintiely not dry yet in the video. Make sure you're using enough pressure when applying the emulsion and only leave a very thin layer on each side of the screen. Also, make sure you're leaving space under the screen for it to dry. I set mine on a another screen so the emulsion doesn't touch anything while it's drying. Hope that helps!

So when your done burning the screen it’s ok to rinse it in the sun ?

@fromlinetoline 2 ай бұрын

Hi! Only if you're quick! I've had some bad experiences after taking a little too long in the sun. I'd recommend spraying your screen with spray bottle immediately after exposure to jump start the process before bringing it outside in the sun.
