It's weird how you start off looking how to build a carport on KZfaq and end up watching a dude building a successful screen printing business. In the end I didn't even build the car port but binge-watched your videos and bought a damn heat press. Thanks dude!

@artisticboundaries Ай бұрын

Hahahaha... And so the journey down the rabbit hole begins!!! I can't even begin to remember how I started watching but I guarantee it had nothing to do with T-Shirts... maybe bee farming or food critics or lawn care I have no idea... lol!!!

getting a camera guy was indeed a great move. love this episode better

@leestuart38 Ай бұрын

So happy to have Ed back on the team and the camera out of my hands. Stoked to see where this goes

@byrdathletics8354 Ай бұрын

I think this is much better than the past videos. Not saying your editing isn’t good cause it’s always been off the charts but you being more on this side of the camera was a very smart business decision. The editing is still great and I feel like the content is better. This was a win win for you and your viewers. Congrats

@leestuart38 Ай бұрын

I absolutely agree with you. The content is much better from this perspective and makes it more engaging. Plus he's able to catch things that just wouldn't be possible for me to do alone. I used to hate watching my own videos but I love these ones.

The joys of screen printing when it rains it pours lol! That's why having a bunch of prepped screens is so important especially when running an automatic. If you don't pay attention it's real easy to ruin a bunch of garments.

Great video, editing on spot, nice job... Saw that you were little nervous by the team meeting, but I think you are a great boss 😉. Some notes on the sleeve embroidery, I think that logo would fit in the 4,25 or when not in the 5,5 hoop for sure... Much less stabilizer and the young lady can much better handle the lighter hoops.

@Cubbiblue Ай бұрын

If you are still using transparencies - make sure to use a super thin line down the entire thing print so it maintains equal movement distance and use 3" rolls. I had the same issue with reg. You also need to make sure the off-contact is the same on the back and front with ROQs which can throw stuff off. Those were big helps for me.

@miketheprintman Ай бұрын

Speaking from experience, no matter type of printing you do, machines seem to love drama somehow. When we've got jobs that we can take our time on, equipment runs flawless, then when we have a super rush job, every piece of equipment have a shit fit and breaks down or needs maintenance. Gremlins are real my friend.

Lee, congratulations on your success, but there is an issue with this video. Now that you have a full time cameraman, that directional mic is not working. You need a wireless mic. I don’t think you need everyone mic’d but you definitely need something to improve the overall audio of the videos.

@@leestuart38 tbh that squeegee thing is the crème de la crème of problem solving. going through legit every option multiple times only to really have to investigate and see such a micro issue that is so out of the ordinary that you’ve never encountered and was actually a basic fixed but you would have never thought to check cause it’s so unusual. glad it worked. small things big impact. screenprinting is not for the weak.

Great video guys! The only constructive criticism I have is that you need a 3 or 4 TX radio mic system. I found the audio a little annoying to listen to, especially as you were turning your head away from the camera Lee. But that's it, awesome to see the business progressing the way it is🔥

Ed used to work here as my press assistant so I knew he had some video skill beforehand. He made us a couple of reels for fun that looked great and he helped me shoot a few KZfaq videos. When I decided to bring someone on full time, I asked him first and he was confident he would be able to step up his game to meet the level I needed.

Awesome video Lee! Always looking to you for ways to improve my print game. QUESTION: What screens & mesh do you use?

@crumptees Ай бұрын

The rush days are always the ones that come with the most problems..lol do you not tape up your eco frames? We are having a big problem now where the tape is starting to peel on the edges after washing and always setting off height detection on our CTS system.

@leestuart38 Ай бұрын

We don't use Eco frames here, I hate those things personally. We use the Shurloc EZ frames, they don't need to be taped because the mesh panels have a protective strip built right in.

Your moire issue is likely due to the halftone pattern, interfering with the woven pattern of the actual shirt. Could be why it changed between your sample / between sizes. We use 25* angle in most cases, as advised by graphxsource, but I am in no means an expert on this issue... Moire is a rabbit hole when it comes to t shirt printing, bc you are dealing with the screen mesh grid x the halftone grid x the woven textile grid... Lots of opportunity for conflicting overlapping patterns, in other words moire
