Hi Ryan thanks for the video but maybe you can give me some advice, ive been having troubles cleaning the epoxy ink from nazdar,even when i use the correct solvent to clean up the screen the emulsion keeps locking in and the mesh is gone to hell how can i clean it better or how much time should the ink be on screen while working with it. as soon as i end to print i start to pick up the excess ink and discard it and inmediatly im pouring a little bit of solvent but the results arent positive. thanks for any advice it will be well appreciated it

@Ryonet 10 жыл бұрын

Usually when printing stickers the inks are air dry. The way a multi-color sticker print works is when you print the first color on the sticker you place the sticker on a drying rack until the first color dries then you re-register the sticker and then print the second color then place the sticker back on the rack for a final dry. This process only requires on pallet. So a multi station press is not required.

Ryan,I'm using Nazdar system 2 series gloss black on 1/2" thick pvc sheet material, I'm using Nazdar S230 thinner. After I screen a few some of the smaller numbers on my design fade out and don't screen at all. It's a 24" x 36" screen and I need to do 100 parts, how many can I do in a day and should I use an additive, how do you keep it from drying? Mel

Make sure your emulsion will stand up against the ink your using, so that emulsion should likely be solvent resistant.

Depending on the ink that you decide to go with, you will need to adjust your off contact higher or lower to make sure that the screen is releasing properly when doing a pass. You always want to measure this with the substrate on your platen to assure that you have proper off contact.

So I have been screen printing as a hobby, but have been making very poor quality stickers using only speedball materials and i used textile ink on vinyl. Needless to say it was absolutely horrible. I had no clue what I was doing half the time, and the end result always looked bubbly and smeared. I am making an upgrade to the Ryonet starter kit, and was wondering if that is enough to print decent one color designs or if it will give me not-so-great results. I am not looking to shell out hundreds or even thousands out on supplies as this is just a hobby in my house. Any suggestions? thanks!

Went looking on your website but couldn’t see past your pop ups. Join the club and ask a question bubble. You guys should really revamp your website. Shopping on it was actually quite frustrating. I’m looking for solvent based inks and extenders. I couldn’t find any but I admit I didn’t want to surf through 15 pages trying to see past your pop up. Maybe next time. Good video tho. I couldn’t tell what ink you actually used as I don’t know what a general ink is when you specifically mentioned UV and Solvent are the primary inks and then say you’re using a general ink. I’m confused.
