Thank you! Registration of colors is done by using marks on the screens that act as cross hairs. Sometimes artwork is set up to overlap slightly. Other times not so. See my video: How To Screen Print: Setting Up On The Press to learn more about registration. Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeletegreat vid! how do you line up your layers properly, so they dont overlap? it looks almost impossible!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would like to do a lot more close up shots of many things. But when you do everything by yourself, it can be difficult. Sometimes it is hard just to remember to look at my notes to remember what I want to do in a video. This was for a client. Sometimes I will make videos based on what I have going on in my shop so it wont cost me anything to show certain things. You can see videos of my shirts on the channel page. There are some closer shots of the print work there. Thanks for watching!
ReplyDeleteWhen you make your demo videos, you should show the final product up-close to the camera - it would be interesting to see. :) Thanks for these great videos! :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my website for information that supports and supplements the videos.
ReplyDeleteYoure welcome. The next video up is a 3 color print demo with flash. Stay tuned! Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteIt may be possible to flash cure with a hair dryer but it might take some time and would probably be inconsistent. If you want to do something like that, get a $30 Black & Decker heat gun from the hardware store. This will work very nicely and it gets very hot. It will work best with smaller designs. It will be somewhat difficult to fully and evenly cure a large print by this method.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for making this video! i am in the process of starting my own clothing company and am printing the shirts myself. This video helped me so much!
ReplyDeleteIs This Possible To Do With A Hairdryer?
ReplyDeleteI am well versed in automatic printing too. All I can say is it takes some experience. You have to get to know the press and anticipate how it will move when you lock in the screens. I think knowing the press is most important. I always line up my black printer first, the one with the most information, then line all other colors up to that. Dark to light. Take some time to do this before inking up so you can get it as close as possible. You will get better with time. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey man nice video. I am currently still an apprentice for a auto-screen press, I did manual printing for about a month to just get the feel for printing. My question is, I don't really even know if this pertains to you, but when I'm setting up a six color job on an auto press, do you have any tips on locking the registrations together. Where I work is very fast past and the part that is holding me up is getting all the images registered. Again any tips will be helpful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You are welcome!
ReplyDeleteAwesome descriptions! Thanks so much for the help!
ReplyDeleteThe standard ink for screen printing tee shirts is called plastisol ink. This ink can be printed with a very soft feel, soft hand or a very thick rubbery type of feel most associated with spot color art. Whether the ink is soft or thick depends on how you print it. There are other specialty inks that will actually mimic certain surfaces such as suede.
ReplyDeleteThank you man for your swift replies...
ReplyDeleteThere are different types of printing results i.e you have the regular ink ( dont know the technical word- acrylic?) , foil effect and there is this thick rubber effect it stands out more and has this "leather" effect.. do you know what type of ink is used in that case?
Thank you!
