Thanks for sharing!

Also run it through the drier and the powder will disappear

Hancock Screenprinting I have heard of these tactics before but have not personally tried them, if they come from a good source its definitely worth it, couldn't hurt much. Ryan

No prob! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Hey Anthony. For the layer of ink you used for your adhesive powder - did it cover the entire image?

You can use only a conveyor dryer with someone standing at the end of the dryer to catch and stack the sheets or a flash. Heat guns and other solutions don't work consistently enough.

+Ganiu Mahama Thanks for watching!

Jun Gasendo Thanks for the comment!

Alexander Brown I would use halftones and a photo.

There are a couple limitations for doing WB transfers. 1) The ink needs to be made specifically to be used as a transfer. You cant grab just any WB ink and create a transfer with it. 2) You still need to cure the ink on the PET transfer paper before transferring. Most print shops are not set up to properly cure WB transfers that last through multiple wash cycles. Which leads to the bigger discussion of: From a shop production point of view, the U.S. is based around printing plastisol. Small dryers and small autos with a single flash.

So long as the paper gets fairly hot for a minute you're good, no major science to it. Set the flash for hi or 600+ degrees :)

Can you use a heat press to pre shrink the paper?

yes

gvy88kz 1. I would say manually roughly 100-120, 2. To avoid the adhesive powder, shake the transfer paper more vigorously, or you can use a screen printable adhesive and a 3rd screen to apply the adhesive instead of using powder.

do you sell a screen printable adhesive?

FictionFigure been on the bucket list for a while : ) R

+Tons Dean Yes, you will need the adhesion powder. I don't believe ink jet printed images can work using this process. I believe you would need specific ink jet transfer paper. Feel free to experiment, though... you might just come up with some cool results!

This is to center your print on the paper and helps you watch if the paper moved or not. Just a reference point. If you use a platen tape on your platen, you can always just replace the tape when doing a different print.

+Elleirra Razalle great question! If your ink is clogging up your screen you can use a good ink degrader like supreme was or aqua wash to help loosen thing sup. Water based inks can also be broken down with water to reduce chemical usage :) Here you go: www.screenprinting.com/sgreen-supreme-wash-qt www.screenprinting.com/sgreen-aqua-wash-quart

Morning David and happy Wednesday. Couple different ways of basing. (i heard it on the street that there's a video coming for this exact thing) One way is to actually spread/stroke the base to be larger than the image and then use a clear instead of white. The other is exactly what you mentioned, choking the base more than normal. the top color that overhangs the base will normally grab enough of the powder to stick fine. hope this helps for the moment. Happy printing!

Great questions! Heat presses for sublimation are the same :)

+Ryonet thanks for your generous reply. iam getting a 5 in one printer on which I can use mugs caps etc..will that work ok on screen transfer papers?

Sir u didn't cut the rest of the paper mean other part then the design. does it draw a line on shirt..like In sublimation

If the heat press or sublimation paper is smaller than the shirt itself, then yes, it will likely leave a mark. As for your question on if transfer paper will work or not, I could not say. You would want to contact the manufacturer of the 5 in 1 printer.

+Ryonet thanks

+Biglsyny Biglsyny Great question. Check out this video with one of our friends from Guru Ink, in it he covers the process for making single color heat transfers. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6qejdZlssWZhJ8.html

+Ryonet Thank you so much. You guys are truly the BEST in customer service.

+Biglsyny Biglsyny Only because we have the BEST customers in the world! Thanks a ton!!

This is super tricky, but certainly possible. Use a 25m screen with a good quality glitter ink. You will likely need to go over it a few times to acquire a nice result of glitter but give yourself plenty of time. If you over-cure and don't let the ink cool before re-printing you will run into problems. Key is to be patient and charge accordingly due to the added time and knowledge. Not to contradict this excellent video, but with glitter you can do a double pass without flashing. It's the exception that proves the rule. :)

Brenshevia Baker You need at least a flash dryer in order to do this, if you have a flash dryer you can pre heat/shrink under that.

Good morning! yes, they are one use.... while i have to admit, i've never tried using them more than once. To get the best economy out of the paper, i will gang up logos, meaning if i'm doing some logos for hats or inside labels, i'll fit a bunch on the sheet and then cut them apart after printing.... Happy printing!

Good morning, @Salman Razak! The white powder is an adhesive powder that helps the ink to stick to the garment. Here's a link... www.screenprinting.com/products/transfer-adhesion-powder-plastisol-transfer-adhesive-1-lb Hope that helps.

@@Ryonet thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. I really liked the way you explained the process from start till end. I am gathering all the local info for material and accessories. Planning to start my own line of T-shirts. There is lot to learn, types, process, color grading, materials... etc Thanks again for the reply

mohamed aljawder Not once used they are not

Ryonet so they are only one time usage , can plastisol printed t-shirt be iron on the face of t-shirt? does ironing will spoil the plastisol screen printed design on the t-shirt?

+Classy Closets Good question! What Ryan meant by "direct screenprinting" was printing directly onto a shirt using your screen printing equipment rather than creating a transfer and using a heat press to put it on the shirt. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

+Art Barnett great question! This technology has not been created yet or at least hasn't come to market. But we are researching this heavily ;)

HI @urjnlegend ! here's a couple deep dive videos that are more recent. I believe that the clear backer in this video may no longer be offered. So these may help fill in some gaps. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrGKnLiapqqWhmw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKxge6qGvN3GeKM.html Hope that helps!

Hey there! With these heat transfer sheets, the powder is an important part of the transfer process! The transfer powder is what facilitates the actual transfer process between the gel cured ink and the shirt. The powder can be a little dusty, true, but remember that you don't need to use a lot! Just enough to cover the image, then you can tap the rest off. :)

Good question, @cynthia percell. We usually have someone internally put together the design. This video is old enough that i really have no idea, but it was probably someone in either our marketing or education dept....

@@Ryonet thank you

It's always good to choke your underbase back by .5 to 1 pt in your artwork. this helps to ensure it does not show on the side :)

Most definitely! Just make sure it's plastisol :)

+Ryonet do you need a underbase cant you just put the powder sr8 on the red ink ?

XxxCR1SPYxxX- If you did not want the white background inside the logo then yes. This is the same as printing a single color logo.

+Darkside Graphix iheard without underbase itll crack? white n black dont crack as easy for some reason ive noticed. should i do white underbase on top of blue or just blue on blue or just one layer of ink is good enough? imight just order them theyre only 2$

If you not using the adhesion powder it will crack. You can do just single color prints.

Hey thanks for asking! Please email us at international@screenprinting.com :)

No, these are for plastisol inks only however, there are some on the market made for waterbased inks!

Thanks for the question! If you give our success team a call at 800-314-6390 or email them at success@ryonet.com they can help you out!

Can you rephrase that? We're a little confused, sounds like two questions in one.

+Skynepsis great question! You will want to use an inkjet printer of sorts, we recommend the Epson 1430 or 4900 dependent on what you need to be printing (size and amount of prints each day will decide this usually). When it comes to getting the darkest prints and sharpest halftones, a RIP software will be needed. AccuRIP is a great one, you can find it here: www.screenprinting.com/accurip-software-for-printing-halftones-with-espon-printers BlackMAX ink is paired with AccuRIP in order to get the dark ink and sharp gradients: www.screenprinting.com/blackmax-1400-1430-screen-printing-cartridge-kit-w-chip-resetter You can also find these paired with the printer too: www.screenprinting.com/epson-1430-blackmax-ultimate-film-output-system If you would like to watch some videos on how these items are used, check out these helpful tutorials: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd-EZK2qttW3haM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l72UhqeduN3Xnps.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5yArcti1Me5n2Q.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNtiqNea3d-vlo0.html

+Ryonet Wow that's so helpfull, thank you so much, I love screen printing, this reply was exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

Hey there Danyal! Thanks for asking! Transfers can be used in a variety of ways. Their main use is for live, traveling screen printers, and for shops that do the same design multiple times throughout the year. This allows you to put the design on paper, store it/file it away, or carry it with you to a location with a heat press, like a concert. The heat press is used to actually transfer the design from the paper to the garment - effectively curing it.

+Ryonet thanks alot man.that will help

Hey there! You are probably overflashing your transfers, so the inks are curing too much. You'll need to speed up your flash process so that you don't get the inks too hot.

Nichole Reynolds - if you're flashing, powder won't stick to it. Powder needs wet ink to stick. Watch this video again, you'll see what he's doing. You're using plastisol right?

Hey there! You can definitely do that. The process would just be the same, except under your flash instead of going through a tunnel. As long as you gel your ink correctly, and preshrink the transfer paper, you'll be good to go! Feel free to reach out to us at success@ryonet.com or 800-314-6390 if you have any questions about the process!

If you are only printing on light shirts, you can use this. www.screenprinting.com/screen-printing-supplies/inkjet-transfer-paper/inkjet-heat-transfer-paper-sheet-11x17.html#.UvAPG7SDIqI

The transfer peels off the t-shirt? You are making sure to use the adhesive powder?

ima have 2 double check tht ! thank u

Hey there! If you're looking to get your white ink smoother and easier to work with, you can use a little curable reducer, no more than 10% added by weight, though the less added the better. You want to be careful not to add too much reducer, or you will lose opacity. Heat pressing a design will always create a softer feel than traditional screen printing, so that is another factor to keep in mind. You can find our curable reducer here: www.screenprinting.com/wilflex-epic-curable-reducer

Ryonet what about softhand base?

After the initial investment for materials, it's almost always cheaper to print your own! That's why I started screen printing : )

Juliano Guerra It really depends, for somethings it is, for other things it isn't

for example?

Smaller runs, tend to be cheaper to run on a DTG, especially if there are a lot of colors involved. Spot color jobs that have a higher quantity are cheaper to print on a press. that it would be on DTG.

Ryonet Not only that, but screen printing opens up design possibilities that DTG can't begin to match (halftones, fine art, etc.). DTG is great, if the design is relatively simple, and the run is short. Complex designs take forever to cut & weed.

Hey there! If your design is cracking after the first wash, that is usually going to be an indication of overcuring, probably during the flash or gel portion of the process.

Awais Latif the flash dryer is this onewww.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/LGFL1800, try raising the flash dryer so the heat is not so direct.
