If you don't want a lot of build up then you should just print your design directly to a shirt using standard screen printing method. Regardless of mesh size you'll still need a thick stencil of emulsion to make this proccess work. Although, I will add that when you heat press the t-shirt at the end it does flatten out the design and make the ink fee a bit softer.

Mark the screen and at the top of each section write 4 minutes, 6, 8 and 10. Produce a piece of art with type, shapes and even some halftones and place it in the 4 minute section, cover the remaining 3 sections with the black sheet; expose for 4 minutes.After the initial exposure move your art and sheet to the next section, covering the 4 minute section with a light safe sheet as well, you only want the 6 minute section exposed to your light source.

Honestly wash tests we've done have shown that plastisol heat transfers last less time. Although the ink is the same you're throwing the Adhesive powder in the mix. The adhesive powder is what makes the plastisol re-stick to the t-shirt. When the adhesive powder breaks down in the wash the plastisol losses it's bind to the t-shirt. When you screen print directly to the t-shirt there's no adhesive required for the ink to stick to the t-shirt.

Its a good explanation as i was only learning the photoresist process never thought about special transfer paper just onto fabrics. But i guess once you got it transferred onto a screen you could transfer onto anything metal , glass, plastics ,...etc as long as you have the proper paints,sealers ,...etc for the type of object. Because the screen is the stencil at that point.

Actually when you heat transfer a plastisol print you are only gelling the ink on top of the garment as opposed to printing the ink directly into the garment. That's where a screen printing will work better. Plastisol heat transfers are only good up to a certain number of washes where as a properly cured screen print can last forever.

There is a lot of argument on water-based ink completely replacing plastisol going forward into the future for multiple reasons. But whether that’s true or not, I think there is an increased interest in people wanting to do this with water-based inks. What is the differences and can’t you just replace platisol with water-based ink if you’re going to add a wet underbase to adhere the powder too and heat cure it using the same process? Why or why not?

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.

It just stayed on the top of it. Am I doing something wrong? 3. How long do you heat press the plastisol ink? I know it has to be at 320 but how long should I actually leave it pressing for? 4.

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.

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. :)

whats the benefit of transfering pprint on paper, if we can print it directly on shirt? and secondly then whats the need of heatpress? confused :(
@Ryonet8 жыл бұрын
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.

I have a problem with my 2 color transfers , I am printing an American flag with a baseball cather in the middle , I am printing the catcher last so my American flag is dry when I get to the finishing point so there for I'm not able to get the powder to stay on my flag and its causing it to peel off my garment any suggestions ?
@Ryonet7 жыл бұрын
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.
@jasonenz42387 жыл бұрын
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?

Currently we use a flash dryer to cure (in the process of buying a conveyor dryer). Is it possible to preshrink and cure the transfer paper all with a flash dryer?
@Ryonet7 жыл бұрын
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!

Hi Ryan great videos i want to make plastisol transfers but finding it difficult in Ecuador the transfer paper for plastisol i can get, but instead of the powdered adhesive they have given me a paste? make a pass of the paste on the screen first onto the paper then the ink , use the heat gun then ready to go, is this true do you know of this technique? then i am offered a special ink called sublimata for screen printing, with this they say i just run the ink onto the paper no need for adhesive , any advice on the first process i mentioned would be great cheers

What can I add to white to get a soft, bright, opaque pressed print? Thanks.
@Ryonet7 жыл бұрын
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

Also, is this a cheaper alternative to going into a print shop and just getting shirts done? I own a clothing company and I have all the blank shirts myself, would it make more sense to get transfers made? I dont want to have 100 shirts already made that I cant sell. Thanks.

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

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.
@Seemsayin9 жыл бұрын
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.

How do you stop from cracking after 1st wash?
@Ryonet7 жыл бұрын
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.
@Theawaislatif9 жыл бұрын
hi Ryonet i am new to heat transfer printing, can you please tell me what type of flash cure you are using, as our flash cure taking long time to cure and eventually burning the paper. i can not see orange light of lamps on the panel while curing, so am wondering what type of flash cure you are using to dry the ink! by the way great video.
@Ryonet9 жыл бұрын
Awais Latif the flash dryer is this onewww.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/LGFL1800, try raising the flash dryer so the heat is not so direct.
