Thanks for this review! It was super helpful but could I get some suggestions? I ran my design using the following settings: Power :90 Speed :50 Lines per inch: 200 I have a lot of fine details and halftone accents that didn’t engrave through! What setting would you suggest for this? 😮

Hi! Thanks for the video! I bought it during the kickstarter campaign, but i didn't buy the laser, thinking to buy one later (maybe find a less expensive one). Honestly i'm a total noob about lasers (but i love screen printing, that's why i wanted to try this), i don't even know which laser i should buy to engrave my screens. I'm looking for an affordable one (i just want to use it as a hobby), but powerful enough to work great. Any recommandations? Would a 20W laser works? They said on the page that any laser brand should works. Thank you.

I ordered mine. Do you think they will sell the emulsion separate?
@kaloalex10 ай бұрын
According to the site, there's nothing special about the fully-exposed photosensitive emulsion or the stainless screens it is painted upon. They claim users should be able to make their own screens after reusing the originals hundreds of times.

After the material is applied do you use a dryer or does it just air dry?
@MellowpineLasers Жыл бұрын
It air dries enough in about 10 minutes for the nest layer. However, you it'll take 48 hours before you can wash it.
@filski66611 ай бұрын
depends on the ink - don't know about the XTOOL bundled ink - but usually with water based screen printing ink you need to heat it to get it to cure (sublimation heat press works well) - or add curing catalyst if want to air dry- otherwise it will wash out

can the D1 PRO 5w be use to engrave the screen?
@MellowpineLasers11 ай бұрын
Yes, D1 Pro 5W can be used to engrave the screen. But you will need to perform 2 passes at around 80% power and 5000 mm/min speed.

Are you using steel mesh or normal mesh
@PHOENIX200111 ай бұрын
so basically one would have to have access to a laser engraver to use this print system?
@MellowpineLasers11 ай бұрын
Yes. You will need a laser engraver to engrave the required design on the screen before printing.

Xtool claims the screens are reusable as long as one can - remove and reapply emolsion. did you explore this options? pretty sure a mess up on engrave will be frequent.
@MellowpineLasers11 ай бұрын
Yes, technically, you can reapply the top coating to reuse the screen. But to do that, you will need to dial in your laser settings perfectly so that it does not weaken the mesh underneath. I found that the mesh is very fine and is easily damaged when pressure is applied with the squeegee.

@@MellowpineLasersinteresting. the idea of use stainless mesh was to be "laser proof" so seems thats not the case. Does Xtool have the screens on sale and if so do you know how much per pack or per?
@MellowpineLasers11 ай бұрын
Their initial kickstarter mentioned a pack of 3 screens costs $24

@@MellowpineLasers I don't believe you would use your laser to remove or reclaim the screen but use a emulsion remover paste and then reapply new emulsion.

Dtf is faster and pretty damn close...i was going to get this but once i saw the print quality and i did 10 shirts in less then an hour...
@MellowpineLasers Жыл бұрын
Yes, DTF is surely a better option, but for someone who already has a laser and wants to do prints occasionally, the xTool Screen printer can be a great option. Also, once you engrave the design on the screen, you can print the design on a batch of shirts in no time.

I haven't tried DTF yet - but doesn't it have a HTV kinda feel to it? a bit like a plastic coating - screen printing has a more professional finish in my understanding?
