Screen printing is a fantastic way to cheaply make branded items, or even one off custom pieces. Need a silly t-shirt to surprise a friend with? Printing it yourself is the cheapest way to make that happen! Kids can even get the hang of printing VERY quickly and be apart of the entire process, which is awesome!
Here are a few things that I didn’t cover in the video that I think will give you better results.
Use high dpi screens. These provide finer detail, and have significantly improved my prints.
Have someone hold your frame so that you can use two hands to evenly pull the squeegee.
If you don’t have access to a dryer for heat setting, you can cover the print with a piece of paper and iron it for a minute.
If using a dark material, look for an ink labeled “super opaque”. You’ll get a brighter colored print.
You’ll need a screen and squeegee to start.
Also, some photo emulsion for screen printing.
Add water to the sensitizer, then mix it with the emulsion.
Mix thoroughly until it’s an even green color.
Pour just a small amount onto the screen.
Use the squeegee to spread it evenly on both sides of the screen. Try to get even and full coverage by alternating directions and sides.
Dry the emulsion in front of a fan and IN THE DARK.
After it’s dry, quickly lay your artwork, backwards, on the back of the screen. You can print your art on transparencies at most office supplies stores or copy centers.
Tape the art in place, then lay on a piece of glass to hold it against the screen.
Apply a very bright light for 30-45 minutes.
You can also use sunlight, but the time may vary depending on cloud cover and placement.
The areas covered by your art do not get exposed when you remove the transparency.
Use a light spray and soft toothbrush to wash out the unexposed emulsion.
Be careful not to use too much force when spraying it out or you will remove emulsion around your design as well.
Use painters tape to mask any areas that you don’t want to print yet, or areas where the emulsion isn’t intact.
Layout your shirt on smooth, flat surface and remove wrinkles.
Place your design where you want it to be printed.
Lay a thick bead of ink above the art, extended past both ends. Be sure to add extra ink above large areas to be printed.
Even though I’m working alone here, you’ll have better luck to have someone hold your screen, then use two hands to evenly pull the squeegee fully across your screen.
Remove the screen and wash out all of the ink before it dries. After the ink dries, run your shirt through a clothes dryer for 5 minutes to heat set the print.
The screens can be reused by cleaning them with emulsion remover.
Spread a small amount across both sides of the screen.
Then use a hose to wash out the emulsion until the screen is clean. Dark inks will stain the material of the screen, but this will not affect future prints. Just make sure to remove all of the emulsion.

[@himmetsingh8120]

Because of this video, i was inspired, I started printing shirts as a hobby. And now I actually make shirts for the automotive department at my college and get paid for it. I did make my own printing press (but for only for one screen at a time), to get started. Since then, I have grown my productivity, and bought some more, professional, equipment. All the designs for my college, were designed by the students themselves. Soon, the shirts I make for my school, will be a mandatory uniform for those automotive classes.

[@ashiksigningoff3366]

Con you help me to know what are the equipments i should carry

[@himmetsingh8120]

CarrotShaker mainly the only different thing I do is that i use su sight to get the emulsion to set. With a light it takes 20 to 30 ish minutes, sunlight takes about 10 to 30 seconds to set.

[@himmetsingh8120]

Abdul Rasheed Choudhary I just got my stuff from Amazon, the speedball stuff (the quality is good and it's not that expensive)

[@nickvids5344]

Some other tips: If you want multi colored designs you’ll want to add registration marks around the design for easy alignment. They can be taped off later. Also, if you want to have nice bright colors you’ll want to put an underlay of white ink down on that area and let it dry before you do the final color. Especially on very dark clothes like black. And also, ink spreads a little. Just like marker on paper. Good thing to keep in mind if you have a small intricate design. It may fill in and get messy. Especially on sweatshirts.

[@Xentipiiides]

i know this is 2 years late but what do you mean registration marks?

[@LorenHelgeson]

First job I had was in a print shop. I saw this process done first hand, and it's quite something to see someone do that 4-color process with that rigging you showed about halfway through your video, rotating the plates out with multiple shirts. It's a one-man process, but you can produce a lot of these in a short amount of time.

[@DIYPerks]

Super cool! I don't envision doing much t-shirt printing, but I can definitely see myself using this method on wood for either logos or decals. Thanks for the video!

[@ryanbroos5143]

I've been contemplating making my own t-shirts for a while just as hobby or part-time start up business. I was originally thinking of using heat press vinyl but after watching this, I think I'll go with screen printing instead. The instructions you gave made it easy for me to understand and the additional tips in the comments are also very helpful as well. Your video is still helpful 3 1/2 years later. Thank you!

[@epicfaicuser]

Vinyl sucks

[@jimbilderback6398]

Quick trip to Home Depot and Hobby Lobby and you have all your supplies, and probably a lot cheaper than you think, especially if you plan on making multiple shirts for work, sports or a family reunion. Being an artsy fartsy kind of guy I would try this in a second! Finally a way to do it yourself and not have to pay big bucks for printing places. Can't wait to see what else you got BOB!

[@macmedia6755]

Does this really work and is the this a good print quality? I often see diy videos where the person in the vid makes it look so easy , bit it may not be easy at all for a novice. I have a coffee shop and I sell tshirts that I pay a tshirt vendor to print. I'd like to cut out the middle man but I want to be sure I get the same quality.

[@TheHungarianHitman]

@@macmedia6755 It all depends on your design. If you only have a few colors, 4, maybe 5 tops, it is a lot cheaper and easier (if you're inclined to crafts like this) to make them either with this method, or heat transfer vinyl. There's a bit of up front cost for the HTV (vinyl cutter, vinyl, heat press although an iron will technically work) and screen print methods, but if you have the time to knock out a bunch of stuff at a time, you can save a lot of money. But if you have something with a lot of detail and colors, garment printing is a lot cheaper at a shop than trying to get into it at home for just a few shirts.

[@theclips2093]

@@macmedia6755 the whole setup is much easier in a full shop plus the in qualities from a print shop are better art store paint for tshirts are water based so a black on white would be do able but when you get into plastisol paints they need to be cured with a conveyer dryer at a certain temp for a certain amount of time. If you use red and dont cure it with plastisol and the customer washes it it can mess up there other clothes

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's awesome! Thanks!

[@BLTspace]

I have a good bit of experience in screen printing, well done Bob. Some tips for anyone trying this: If you don't have a press i'd put a couple washers on the corners of the screen to lift it off the shirt an 1/8 inch or so; the screen is flexible enough to hit the shirt and it won't stick and pull ink back off the print (only do one pass as the shirt will likely move and lining up again is impossible). Also if you use water based inks instead of oil based (plastisol); you can just set the shirt out in the sun to cure. Great job dude.

[@theEVOhero94]

+BLTspace Sitting them out in the sun will prove ineffective even with waterbased inks I work in a high volume tshirt shop (3 Autos, 2 manuals) and we actually slow the dryer down from 35 to 20 for all waterbased inks and Discharge. Waterbased inks love to wash out apparently.

All through grade school, Jr High and High school we had to attend an art class, the year we did silk screening was my favorite. We did everything from screening the wood frames, drawing our own designs, copying to transparency, applying emulsion, curing and printing. Was really satisfying to then have a final product you created yourself. Liked it enough that I would like to set up my own silk screening area in the garage just for fun.

+Excelsior s You're such a 1%-er. Pfff :)

[@amango7925]

How come

[@doubletapish]

For best results when you add the emulsion to the screen, do your last stroke on the inside of the screen so the emulsion sits on the back (flat side), this will give you a crisper print and reduce the risk of "flooding". When printing you will want to have around 2 mm between the screen and the shirt to have a good snap off. When you pull the squeegee the best way to gauge your pressure is to have enough to firmly touch what your printing, but not so hard that your making the squeegee bend. If you printing white on black or less opaque colours and you wish to have a thicker coat then you can round the edge of your squeegee with 1200grit wet emmary paper, (do this sparingly as you will only need to just take the edge off & it's easier to remove more if required) Hope this helps :) Awesome channel btw keep up the good work.

[@LastDollie]

Olly G Nice tips

[@ashiksigningoff3366]

Can you help me to know what are the equipment I should carry..

[@liamr6672]

I'm not sure what parts you mean when you say inside/outside, front/back/flat.

[@f.d.6667]

Good tips ... one might add that using black foam (soft) under the screen during exposure (a little bit thicker than the frame) helps to push up the emulsion-filled mesh and gives a better contact with the film and thus a sharper print later in the process...

[@gyroofthyme]

@@liamr6672 Inside/Front: Side of the screen where the frame is sticking up, hence the mesh part is "inside". It's the same side you use to apply the ink. Back/flat side: the side where it's flat (no frame sticking up).

[@fortunehunter7372]

Great video! A+! Great, direct info, seem less advertisement for the sponser, professional production quality, and a host who wasn't nervous or over the top! Well done.

[@essentiallyleigha]

Amazing! I love this video! My husband has been wanting to do his own screen printed shirts for his blog/business, so this is just perfect. Thanks!

[@lucidjuice]

One tip: In the screen printing industry, there's something called "off contact". You could create off-contact by putting some small spacers (like a 1-2 washers stacked) in locations where the screen frame rests on the print surface. Then your silk is just slightly hovering over the material you are going to print on, and when you push/pull the ink, you make the screen contact the surface. This helps make a cleaner print, because as soon as the pressure is released, the screen stops touching the shirt (if it's set up right).

[@annakaroly]

This seems super helpful but Im not sure I understand. Are there any videos out there that could explain this visually?

[@ArmstrongOsas]

wow!!! bob.. although you made it look really easier... i did it over and over again... with my photoshop experience,i was able to design my face as a vector image,now ive got a really neat white shirt with my face on it..though i wasnt smiling

[@kwhite870]

Great video! Not one of those 'I'm all about hearing myself speak' videos. Thanks for the efficient video! This may be a new hobby of mine :)

[@EleonoraSpizzamiglio]

some suggestion... 1) when you reveal the screen just use water pressure, don't brush it. The emulsion is quite delicate at this stage, so the risk is to ruin the graphics, 2) when you print, to avoid that the color pass the first layer of fabric, you need to put something just under the fabric you need to print. For example, the t-shirt needs to be inserted in the wood press form, not just laid on.

Great video, thank you. I have one question though. How durable is the print on those T-shirts? Does it wash off fast of relatively like the ones you buy in the store? Is the ink same type for both T-shirt or thick hoodie? Thank you for answers in advance. :)

[@clarebrebner9606]

The print is durable, so long as you don't skip the step of heat setting the ink before you wash it. I normally iron the shirt to do this (with a piece of cotton between the shirt and the iron). It definitely fades over many washes, like any t-shirt, but washing the shirt inside out can slow down the process. It's the same kind of ink for any fabric, just make sure you get the fabric ink and not the one that's just for paper. If it's a thinner fabric I would put something flat and hard inside the shirt to make sure the ink doesn't bleed through to the other side (like a piece of glass or masonite board, or even cardboard). Also I realize this answer is 10 months late, so you probably already figured this all out :P

[@saml4332]

Heat setting will make it stay on for years to come :)

[@saml4332]

I hear settled mine with an iron for about 5 min... also I used a machine to actually make the screen but it's all good. Either way

The 2 Car Garage Shop I've got a link in the description to everything I used.

Thank you! Loved the lack of fluff and getting straight to the point.

[@Stitches776]

It is helpful to put the emulation remover in a spray bottle and depending on strength you can cut it with water. Also it is super easy to use a pressure washer on your screen when washing it out to ensure that there is no emulsion blocking it. Just make sure to use it on a lower setting and keep the nozzle moving.

No duh, hon. What did you expect? How to screen print a t shirt in 10 seconds using items found in your bathroom? lol

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Good luck trying to get that mattress back into the box if you decide to return it!

[@willrobinson3781]

LOL! That matress'l whip yur a$$...

[@assnapkined9295]

Mark James he said they come and take it

[@hizpicasso]

Great video man! Everything well explained and pretty straight forward. 🙏🏾😎

[@zrig1]

My first foray in silk screening was over 40 years ago and we had to use a two-layer green plastic sheet an Exacto blade and tons of patience. This is so much simpler ...

[@nogahlerman6137]

I suggest you make a video on "How to run like Mayweather"...

[@josepalacios1303]

Lol

Let me just get out all the tools that I don't have

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+biclexual Comments like your are really interesting to me. What were you expecting to see in this type of video? I'm just curious.

[@biclexual]

+I Like To Make Stuff I wasn't familiar with your account so at first sight I was expecting a DIY guide on how to make shirts at home with tools most people actually have lying around at home. Can't say I'm not impressed though!

[@jaimeladucer2747]

I didn't have the tools either - but now I do! He clearly lists what you need to make this DIY project happen (that's as DIY as you can get with a project like this without foraging all the tools/chemicals yourself!) You're slaying it, I Like To Make Stuff! Thank you for all of your free tutorials and getting me excited to make stuff!

[@thommytwotoestimesthree847]

biclexual sweetie. Do you want this or don'tcha? It's not expensive. Picture frame or blackmail your local handyman into makin' one, pc. of silk stolen from your gram ma's curtain rod. You'll have ta buy the other stuff. Squeegee. Blah blah. An off you go. I use to work at a towel printery and bring home some cool designs. Crafts are awesome when you do them yourself. Good way to make side money if you can come up with the right designs. I like fine art.

[@dasiddaaros3126]

Fred Garvin um i dont think thats what she was implying ??? 😂

[@helderferreira8112]

Very good video. Cut dry information no filler that's what I like .great job I'll be watching more thanks!!

[@ARMAKUNI01]

Nice video and also thank you for the link which states the required items along with instructions. Thanks mate,

[@PonzWasTaken]

i'm having an issue, once my emultion has dried in the dark I let it sit under a bright box light for about 45 mins, but no image ever gets burned on?

[@kidnickles101]

Need to use a UV light bulb

[@CANofART]

I put my photo Emulsion remover into a spray bottle.

[@saml4332]

Nikita Gaidouk I didnt use that. I just scrubbed my screen with my hands and a sponge

[@jissellerivas5280]

Does it remove the whole design too or just the mess from printing

[@Lucyandez]

I found this channel yesterday but I loved it, is great

[@PurpThomas1]

Short straight to the point video! This video helped me out thanks

[@aperson4075]

0:33 A wild Vsauce appeared!

[@aperson4075]

Or should I say a wild Vsauce outro

[@carrotjuice2354]

HEYYY VSAUCE MICHAEL HERE

[@zhenry2]

you can get rid of the stains on the screen with degreaser. i do this for a living. =)

[@MidSoulReaper]

I keep coming back to this video years later because it gives me so much nostalgia since it was the first ever video I watch of his channel 🥲

[@saucedonkey88889]

just stumbled onto your channel and am very pleased dude!! gonna start making stuff asap

[@punitaiyengar6988]

I love channels like these! Very creative. 👍🏽

[@the17letterteen]

How long do I have to wait until I throw my shirts in the dryer m? And can I dry multiple at a time??

[@fillyourshoeswithriverwater]

It should say on the paint you’re using

[@Oddwavezonly]

@@fillyourshoeswithriverwater ok

[@rileypemberton1285]

4 years later and I'm finally screen printing a shirt

[@brassfoxmedia6047]

Of all the things I did in my votec classes in graphic design, screen printing was my favorite.

[@saml4332]

I did this is mechatronics engineering class in my middle school. It was fun!

[@ewanr3602]

Hey it might of just been me. But I don't hear what temperature or length of time the t shirts should be heat set in the tumble drier for. Thanks in advance.

[@connerturnbell2767]

bob do you like to make stuff?

[@Iliketomakestuff]

+Conner Turnbell I do :)

[@OFFICIALVERSE]

is this how the diesel t-shirts are printed that just have the skull logo on? as their designs seem "faded" rather than a bold glossy finish colour

[@oleksandrsklyarov1899]

For me, the best video from those that I've seen in a long time.

[@oleksandrsklyarov1899]

What's the difference in quality of the print, if any, from the ones that companies make? Are there paints of different levels of quality for that (What are the best ones?) ?

[@ztephyy970]

You made the screen printing process so easy for me to understand thank you!
