thank you for watching! I'm currently working on a 10 video set on how to screen print for beginners I'm not sure when I'll post the videos but stay toon may in about a month I'll upload them.

Thats awesome

get some CCI pink stuff and press spray and wipe from GOGSG.COM the press pray and wipe will clean the ink off your screens and squeegees

@@LibertyGraphicDesigns Really?? Okay. I will take your advice. One last question, please...when using Plastisol, I understand there is no flooding needed. Do you suggest squeeging forward only once or backwards only once? (Toward me or away from me on the screen)? I have shirt tacked down and try not to love my screen, but sometimes get that double image without lifting the screen. Single color white only.

@@gentlegnt that's a great question! that's called pulling and pushing, but let me answer the flooding first.... you are correct, plastisol does not require flooding only water base, and the reason for that is, well, plastisol won't dry on your screen as water base does. ok, so now, when it comes to pulling and pushing I my self like to "pull" you get better results but you will get tired faster LOL. Pull requires a lot less force to push the ink through the screen, however, your are more likely to mess up or shift the screen when pushing that's why you get that double image you're talking about, now, if you pull and then push on the same shirt/image/print, you will also create or get a double line or sort of a mirror effect, this happened because you shifted/distorted the screen even if your shirt is well tacked to the pallet. if you have more question feel free to ask!!. FYI I'm working on a video series that explains most of this issues. Thank you for your question it was very interesting.

i use the pink stuff and degreaser as well

it's the best thing I've used so far!! and yes you're right, it's cheaper then screen opener, I used to pay $48.00 for a box of 12 cans of opener and the xylene cost me $18.95

I want to add a little tip i just learned about you may already know about it .. but I love it .. To clean your press and get all that tac down over spray and lint off your press .. spay WD40 or something like it on your prass it takes all that sticky lint and gunk off very easy .. it cleans and makes everything shine like it's new again ..

great tip! and I'm NOT GOING to LIE... I did NOT know that, thank you.

GRACIAS

totally agreed !!!!

the best material, the best final product, if you spend more money to use better equipment or supplies, then charge more money to the clients. but your opinion is valid too..

you are totally right, well i dont know where you are, but here in denver everything is expensive and the traffic is terrific that why i prefer buy all at the same place with delivery for my convenience, and just up my prices, at least here is how that works, but you are right about on your comment... thanks for let me think that way, i will try some of his Technics why not.. saludos @sexymeme

@@fairy_dust6588 agree..it doesnt matter what materials you use as long as it works for you ^^

thank you sharing! I agree with you on cleaning your screens prior to reclaiming I pretty much clean my screens before I take them of the press

Humasima, just do your own video. Thank you for your effort, Liberty Graphic Design.

I also use paint thinner for oil based paints. Works excellent.

When I used that stuff , it would leave a chemical residue that wouldn't let me apply any tape back on the screen...... Never used it again . Just saying what happened to me . I'm glad it works for you

@@elir9711 never had that issue. Was that on a reclaim. Or on changing inks while still on press?

@@Dtag1971 it was many years ago when franmar was staring . I bought a kit at the ISS show. I think it was on the press . I do remember saying to myself that I'd rather have stinky chemicals than chemicals that smell nice and don't work. I was young 😆

Chris Little i get most of my stuff at gsg in Dallas tx

ok cool, I'm located in utah, is gsg a supply store?

Yes they are, I usually go to the location in dallas tx

si, tengo un contenedor que filtra el agua

Bridget Gainous thank you for asking, yes it is, the pressure wassher is a MUST

Liberty Graphic Designs oh, wow! Thank you. I have one more question. I burned my screen, and I was ready to print. When I tried to push the ink through the design, the ink did not go through. What happened? Please advise. I really want to learn how to screen print. Thank you.

Bridget Gainous do you have pictures?

Liberty Graphic Designs I can take a picture of the screen.

Liberty Graphic Designs I put a video of me attempting my first time trying to screen print. My Instagram is fabrienne1960.

Plastisol

hey Marshal, if you let any emulsion dry on the screens it would be very hard to get it off, however, if you use hand cleaner and the pink stuff together and let sit for five to ten minutes then power wash (not rinse) the screens it will take most of the ghosting or stuff left on the screen. note that there might be some "ghosting" or imprint (sort of looks like a shadow" of the old image that does not affect the quality of the screen that's completely fine.

@@LibertyGraphicDesigns thanks so much for the reply, i'm thinking maybe the haze i was trying to remove was the ghosting you're talking about here because i was sure not to let the emulsion remover dry last night without power washing it all off, and i applied then power washed The Pink Stuff off twice for each screen i did today. for good measure i think i will order some hand cleaner as well. this was so helpful man, thank you!

I do have a dip tank and the pink stuff.

your emulsion remover might be old or if you let the emulsion remover dry on the screens it will do that, try wetting the screen first then add the emulsion remover wait about 5 minutes and wash with a power washer at 1600 PSI or higher to remove the emulsion, if you can, get CCI GEM_ZYME emulsion remover this stuff works great. Get it GOGSG.com good luck

plastisol, water based is faster

son mejores pero no son necesarias, las blancas traslucen mucha luz por lo cual pueden exponer de mas los puntos (halftones) y las amarillas no por lo cual las amarillas son mejores pero no necesarias asea si no tienes amarillas y solo blancas bien puedes usarlas

Liberty Graphic Designs gracias por tomarte el tiempo para responder

Si hay unos que si se manchan

No it does not eat your gloves xylene is actually safer than the chemicals we use to remove ink

yes it will

It definitely will I had that problem and was stuck on what to do and how to unclog did the xylene let it sit for a bit scrubbed and viola! @liberty designs you are a life saver bro

@@junylimbe just got it in the mail today, I'll text it out in a few

Tony P lmk how it goes

The pink stuff tgat is the name of it

I think is a 1600 psi

gosgs.com

No I did not

some can go up to 5000 prints

@@LibertyGraphicDesigns How can you know when it is time?

@@jeffnationaltrade some will actually get holes or they will get very lose and won't hold registration or they just simply come off the frame when the glue does not hold them in place, they will also get what we call ghosting or haze, this is when the ink does not go through the screens anymore as easy as it should.

@@LibertyGraphicDesigns Thank you!

I've had a couple of screens for 20+ years . The old school size of 19x22 (wood) , that use to be the standard

Work harder.
