one thing i like about you is that you always have one eye pointed to the future. who else would have sanded and varnished the plywood immediately to make future cleanup easier? it's good to see you so excited about this new direction. your sister does great work, too.

Back in the days, I interned at a screen printer. For multicolour, we had all the screens set up in a circle around a pole and pre-aligned them. That way, you printed one colour and then pivoted the screen you just used to the side, thereby brining in the next screen already aligned perfectly. That way, you saved the time of changing screens in the holder for every print. Another, but similar, method we used on 4-colour prints had the printing base rather than the screen rotate. 5 stations; one to put whatever you were printing on on (and in the end off) the base, and then passing it on in turn to the four colours. Granted, that's a bit overkill for a beginner maker; but worth mentioning, I think.

Essential for t-shirts as you can't reposition the shirt for each colour. I made two fo these machines, foot operated screen carousel lock. Making the screens was a PITA though and the laser method is a great improvement.

I used to work in a small screen printing shop when i was very young. I can definately say that those equipments and techniques are very inefficient and causing so much time and money waste. A laser printer higher than 600dpi resolution, transparent sheets and a weak ultraviolet light or even sunlight is enough to prepare the mesh. Also irrespective to the picture size, the posing time is very short. Meshes can be used thousands of times. you can clean the emulsion after use with a regular bleach. in brief this video is an overkill but fun to watch.

@Alpha17x 14 күн бұрын

I wonder if you could modify one of those to do a hybrid of screen printing and layered resin art... This video has me thinking of getting 2. And potentially ruining one as a result, if it doesn't work. I wasn't expecting to be hit with inspiration, thanks and awesome video as always!

@doriandari 14 күн бұрын

It is incredible how technology is mixing an art like screen printing with lasers, that point is magnificent, you save printing the originals and developments, in addition to applying the emulsion to the screens, what I don't like, and it is not clear to me is that Will you have to buy each emulsified screen? That being the case, it is a creation of waste that becomes pollutants. And how much does each emulsified screen cost? I don't know Rick it's questionable... Your video and production is excellent!!

@johnsmith-000 2 күн бұрын

Nice presentation. As far as I could see from the video, all the inks were quite thick, and thinning them a bit would have improved the prints. Some ink manufacturers also offer other ink additives, like flow control agent, which can also make a big difference. I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind answering them. What's the mesh count of this metal screen? The "emulsion", as you call it isn't photosensitive, right? It is just burnt off and the leftover particles rinsed with water? Can you apply this emulsion, coat the screen yourself, or the screen is not reusable? Thanks in advance for answering.

Were there instructions about which side of the screen is up? Typically in screen printing, you'd put the smooth side of the emulsion down, towards the print surface. You'll get sharper edges that way. Results might be sub-par with what I see in the microscope shots where the metal mesh creates bumps and gaps on the print side of the screen.

Probably yes. Like if you paint wood and then engrave on it. I don’t know if you’re thinking of it was a way to reburn other graphics, but not being an emulsion (product specifically made to cover smoothly the screens), my prediction is that with use the water based ink would start loosening and bits falling off. So the design might get ruined fast.

Schönes Video, aber sicher nicht für Anfänger! Alleine wenn man schon sieht wieviel man tricksen musste um die Siebe zu belichten, das ist für Anfänger kaum zu schaffen. Abgesehen davon haben die wenigsten "Anfänger" 2000.-€ (+ X) übrig um mit dem Siebdruck zu beginnen. Das man für jede Farbe das Sieb austauschen muss ist ein Nachteil, normalerweise hat man für jede Farbe ein Sieb und das ist im Siebdruckkarusell befestigt, das spart Zeit und ist genauer. Ein benutztes Sieb wieder genau so in den Rahmen zu bekommen wie es vorher war ist auch nicht so einfach. Das Ganze erinnert mich an die Anfänge der 3D-Drucker, wo Leute für tausende Euros/Dollar einen Drucker gekauft haben um dann eine Trillerpfeife oder irgendwelche Figürchen auszudrucken.....
