I'm a retired Signwriter and screen printer. A light spray of spray adhesive on the platen will help with making sure the fabric doesn't move while printing. You will have to reapply after a few shirts. To prevent the ink from squeezing between the mesh and the frame put some 2inch wide tape on the mesh and frame. So 50% on the mesh and 50% on the inside of the frame. Makes clean up much easier. You should go around the whole frame if doing more than one print. Hahaha you can flood backward to return your ink as well. This is painful to watch for someone who did this for 40 years lol You don't always need more pressure but you can squeegee more than once and I'd do at least 2, possibly three, depending on "Things" Don't lift the screen just pick up the ink with the squeegee and run it a few times. Allow 10% spoilage. So need 10? print 11 or more

Quite interesting for hobby users. I am a professional screenprinter and we use lasers to make the coating waterproof. The image itself is not engraved as here. Everything you will not print is made warerproof with a UV laser and the final image has to be washed out after lasering. And one little advice: Put some paper tape in the inside of the frame. This makes it much easier to clean.And DON'T press as hard as you can ;)

Yes and No, when you need to burn a new screen you just pull out a new screen ready to go. they sell them cheap. Waterbased Ink warm water and a sponge took 1min,, then dry off screen blow out with compressed air. Plastisol ink will require a spray cleaner to clean screen. Maybe in the future they will sell no emulsion screen for people who want to just have the metal screen raw!!

This reminds me of the LightScribe method of burning off a special coating on CDs and DVDs for the label side of those discs in order to make your own single color labels. I hope this method being used here has a longer lasting image without taking 30 minutes or more to get the best results like it did with the LightScribe method. What was the actual time needed to burn the pattern into the screen? Do you need to clean the screens between color changes? What sort of cleanup is needed for storage of the screen? Can the burn be erased by re-applying more dye to the screen so that it can be re-used? How many times can it be re-used? Can unused portions be lasered for other projects? Then mask off the project areas that aren't needed?

Is the screen reusable? If it is, how do you reset it for a new grafic?
@LaserEngraving91111 ай бұрын
The system comes with 3 screens you can buy more if you need them, you just wash the screen out with warm water if you using waterbased ink, if you use plastisol you will need to use a plastisol cleaning chemical when you wash it, one you bur the screen that is permanent 👍

With water based in you need to let the ink dry all the way. You want to evaporate the water from the ink or it won’t cure correctly. 😊

Did you see the part where I evaporate all the water using my heat press? I made sure I took care of that part in the video. You can see me do that here in case you missed it 23:10

@@LaserEngraving911 yes, but then you’ll want to press it a second time to really cure the ink. Speedball ink even suggest waiting 24 hours before pressing. I don’t always wait the 24 hours because I don’t have the space to lay out all the shirts for my small business. So we do a 2 press process. Once to evaporate the ink and the second to really cure it 😊

CAN YOU ACTUALLY SCREEN PRINTE USING POLYESTER PLASTIC SHEET ?
@LaserEngraving9116 ай бұрын
no you cant, the laser will completely melt the screen, you need to use the screens made for the xTool screen printer, they are made from steel

What's the advantage of using a laser over just burning it with a UV cabinet? don't see a huge advantage I guess?

@@LaserEngraving911Thanks. This is a good point as water waste is quite significant with Serigraphs. However, with laser engravers, lots of particulates and hazardous light. laser engravers are quite hazardous especially in a school environment.

😂 There is nothing to show, just spray the screen off with water, then blow the screen of with some air or a dry towel, its really that easy, if your using water based ink, it literally took me under a min. With Plastisol ink I think you will have yo use a ink cleaner spray. spray and then dry..

As a full time screen printer I'm always intrigued by these types of "at home setups." Screen printing is not something you want to try to do at home. No way to reclaim and reuse the screens, so just buy new ones? Loads of problems and issues that the unsuspecting DIYer is going to regret.
@LaserEngraving91111 ай бұрын
I hear ya, these were never meant for large scale production, I'm sure.. and the screens are cheap, I'm sure this system will be great for those wishing to dabble, just another added value tool for those already doing personalization.

if the screens are cheaps will be the best alternative for those who works, even in production because you are saving a lot of time

As a Textile Designer anyone who wants to screenprint at home can. I'm not sure why you're gatekeeping the trade and process. There's enough room for everyone to create art.

Its a 100mesh, and I was able to get amazing details. If you need higher mesh counts you'll have to go with traditional screen printers at this time.
