Love ALL your videos! Gave me the confidence to try screen print at home. Thank you for amazing directions and wonderful inspiration.

Great video. One question - why did you go for a lower heat than speedball recommended? Did you find better results with a lower heat?

This is the time and temperature that has consistently worked for me

Hi I have been looking all over for this question..can I destress wording on a shirt using vinyl in screen printing

Here’s a project where I added a distressed look to the screen before printing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMeBZceTkt27caM.html

Ps. I purchased your variety recipe guides. I live in New Orleans and am getting orders for Mardi. But I can’t match the gold or purple. Any plans on coming out with new recipes. Specifically a Carnival one😊

Check out this project I made last year using Speedball’s opaque fabric ink in Emerald, Amethyst, and Gold. I used these ones right out of the jar and it looked great (the plaque inks have a little shimmer, I like that for this project!) instagram.com/reel/Co4w7fEAQyF/?igsh=bmdhcjRxZHFkMmgz

The large jars at the beginning are Speedball’s Fabric Inks: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/speedball-fabric-ink The smaller jars that you see later are all of the mixed ink colors from my Ink Recipe Guides: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/ink-recipe-guides/

I’m hooked. But I have a problem. My cured shirts still feel rough and heavier than vinyl. What am I doing wrong

@pigskinsandpigtails 5 ай бұрын

I’m so glad you are loving screen printing! You only want to go over just enough to get good coverage- if you’re getting thick layers of ink you are probably going over it too many times. Next time, try less (this is where a press is really handy, you can lift the screen up and then set it back down and it will line up in the exact spot so you can print another layer)

So I’m doing tank tops and the ink is going thru the other side, when I lay it out to dry. Should I dry the ink with a heat gun before taking it off the press??

@pigskinsandpigtails Ай бұрын

If you are printing just a few, you could slide a sheet of parchment paper inside the shirt after you take it off the press before setting it down to dry. You may not want to do that if it is a big run of shirts- in that case the heat gun is a good idea

@janicerucinski663 5 ай бұрын

May I ask what heat gun, heat press and screen press you are using?

Did you press without a Teflon sheet?

@pigskinsandpigtails 9 ай бұрын

That’s right, no teflon sheet is needed as long as the ink is completely dry. You can always add one if you are worried, but I don’t do that.
