hey obi wan how long would or should it take to do 100 black shirts 2 color image mostly white writing is red Manuel carousel one man operation seems that im taking to long what do you expect in your shop?

@ThePrintLife 6 жыл бұрын

Thats is such a good question. I know what it should take on a manual. 100 shirts x 3 hits of ink (print flash print white) x roughly 24 sec for the load and unload. Im being generous there, and roughly 7 seconds for each hit of ink. would make print time estimated at roughly an 1 hour and 30 min including set up times. But I have see a job like that be difficult to set up or when I'm feeling sluggish take an entire 8 hour day. You just cant predict these things people try to but its tough.

thank you sir yea it took me better part of 12 hrs people dont realize running solo gets physical real fast anyway its helped living vicariously through you . im having a MAJOR problem thats costing my shop money i believe its a mental thing but some of my images are crooked due to shirt placement on the board that last order there was 12 that i had crooked ive tried everything is there a trick or im i just cock eyed ? thanks for giving back to the shirt family

Albert Thr3se7ens are you pulling back from the shoulder seams where the shoulder and sleeve meet? If your a beginner 12 out of 100 really isn't that bad assuming they are slightly crooked. You'll get it man... I been printing for 20 years and I can load in my sleep. Just takes practice.

I love your videos. I work at a much larger screen print shop and basically grew up working here. When you are in a larger print house, the art of the craft can get a little lost because your are so focused on getting the orders done. It is nice to be reminded that it is in fact a craft. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.

Independence is the best choice Cam! I'm glad that's the decision you came to. I actually think it will help your channel grow faster and be more honest and consequently useful to the people. I really loved this vlogs longer format BTW. Also one thing I learned the hard way with comet white underbase is to be very careful to not over flash it otherwise the top coat will wash off. That happened on a small job I did and I caught it before giving it to the customer. Thank God. Look forward to your findings on the other manufacturers water based inks. I currently use only green galaxy and am not opposed to swapping over if the others are better. Keep it up Cam and do what makes you happy!

I've been power watching a lot of your videos as I am about to add in screen printing to our current hpv business, and I have to say, what really drew me into your videos in particular, was how real and honest you are in your videos. It really wasnt to difficult to see in some of the videos after you mention looking for sponsors, that you were holding back a little or sugar coating things a bit. Don't get me wrong, every one of your videos is A++, but the content of you just being unfiltered you takes things to another level. Sure some people may be a little offended by some of the coarse language, but guess what, that's real life, and even if some people may not say some of it out loud, they are certainly thinking it... you just have the balls to say it... Enjoy your freedom... we certainly will.

I pretty much do exclusively water based. I have a small operation and the biggest run i've done with wb is probably around 65 shirts. I have a couple jobs on deck that are in the 100's... it's gonna get interesting. It originally started because water based was a little more eco friendly for drains/cleanup etc. but I grew to love it. I just did gold on black with no underbase... I mix a little bit of white into the gold and it has a nice vintage look but also pops. This has worked well with just about every color i've tried on dark shirts. Wet on wet was always what I heard with waterbase and in a lot of cases is true but I feel I get better results on dark garments when I flash between hits just a bit. I'm about to print brown on black which i've never done, i'm gonna experiment a bit and see what can work without an underbase. Anyway i'm glad you're getting into more water based, it honestly feels like nobody does it. I'll also second everyone in the comments and say yea... you do you. True happiness and integrity > money.

Hey love your content it's been very informative to a beginner like myself. I have a one station 4 color press. Would it be difficult to do print runs with water based ink being I have only one station and I have to take into consideration cooling time in between flashing? When I'm doing one color prints I notice the ink starts to dry in about a half hour to 45 min on press. Can I spray a little bit of water to prevent this?
