Glad you found it helpful!

Yeah! My co-worker and I were thinking about trying that method as well at some point. Might be even easier and faster to clean up! Thanks for the reminder suggestion!

You're very welcome. People still use them to do athletic numbering too. You can even cut paper stencils on a plotter or by hand. Good luck!

Almost any Home Improvement store will sell hinges.

+Mike Leonard Yeah, my coworker Jeff showed me that trick. Quick and easy registration technique that works surprisingly well, even for dual layer/color prints.

Sure, there are two other videos that lead up to this video. Check out the playlist. Also, if you can be more specific about what parts you need help with, I can be more specific about how I did it!

Cassandra blass What is your Etsy shop?

Are you saying you use HTV for your screens or use it for your final designs?

Judi Christopher lol. You are right in target with the music comment. Oh that is annoying.

Again I say... This is sooo smart... Why in the world do they do it the other way!!! ;)

this isn't a new method, it has been around for decades (it's a stencil method). you can use this for making simple designs of one color and little details. if you need more colors more details and a more photo realistic image. you do it "The other way"

Thanks so much! We needed to use a method that would be easier to clean up since we are working in a Library and not a print studio. We have done multi-color prints with layers and overlaps and it worked just great. I would say though that burning the images (if you have a dark room and a way to power wash the screens for reuse) creates a much more detailed image. However, this is a pretty easy and fun introduction that has gotten a lot of our students interested in printmaking!

Use a permanent type of vinyl. The vinyl with removable adhesive is loosened with consecutive uses.

Hey! We do use 651! I have found that some screens work better than others. As you can see in the video, we currently are using aluminum screens. I tried using one of the wooden frames that come with the beginner kits (that a student brought in) and the vinyl would not adhere to it very well at all. I don't know if it has to do with the material, the tautness, or what, but I would suggest trying a screen like you see in the video. You can search for them pretty easily by typing in Aluminum Screen Printing Frame. Should get you some results!

Thanks for the suggestion! I work for the Chicago Public Library and we happen to work out of a space without the capability to run a dark room or use a power washer. We wanted to be able to screen print despite those restrictions so we began using this method instead. For a while we were working with a local print shop that would create our screens for us but the lag time was just too much and our students were too impatient :D I definitely agree that this method is less capable of doing multi-color prints in great detail but with careful registration we have been able to accomplish some pretty cool multi screen prints despite that.

Rapture Kicks what type of vinyl do you find works best with watersol? I’m having issues with my vinyl coming up when I’m inking

Hey Samantha, I would recommend watching the videos in the playlist that lead up to this one! Also, feel free to email me with specific questions.

Yeah, we don't reuse the vinyl sadly. If you want a screen that will keep the same image on it for multiple printing sessions, you likely need to reapply it or get it burned.

What I suggest is scanning your original design, given that it was made on a physical surface (paper, canvas, what have you) & save it as a digital copy. Doing so will allow you to polish any imperfections & you will never have to worry ab losing that "one perfect design." Hope that helped

Speedball Screen Printing Clamps.

hah, I am very unclear what this means. but uhh, glad you like the first 4.5 minutes?!

just my theory on this, but maybe the silver paint isn't as 'sticky.' i cringed throughout this.

Hey, sorry, have not been keeping tabs on this like I should! My coworker created the screen board, but its pretty simple: just wood and some clamps. If you look up "Speedball Hinge Clamps For Screen Printing" you can find the type of materials he used!

We use fairly thick t-shirts to print so we don't really have any issues with bleeding. If you need to put something between the front and back, you can just get a piece of cardboard (non-corrugated) or a shirt form to put in there. Even a few pieces of paper would likely stop the ink from bleeding through. You just have to make sure it is a flat enough surface to avoid leaving an impression on the print.

Yup, you can reuse the screen after removing the vinyl. It is actually very good and pretty quick way to change stencils on screens. Just make sure you are removing the ink between prints.

We use Oracal 651. It works well. For some reason, I find that the glossy vinyl adheres to the screen more than the matte. No idea why.

Im not sure. Ive never tried that.

Yes! Probably 4 mil, and anything that is translucent enough to see where the design is landing on the shirt under it.

We just use Fabric Ink either from Speedball or an off brand. We have only had trouble with the fluorescent colors since they get all goopy when you print with them. We don't use plasticene ink so there is not a heat setting needed. We just air dry (and I recommend using an iron when they get home or drying in the dryer before a wash).

print? or do you mean cut? you'll need a vinyl cutter. bear in mind all you're doing is making a stencil. before my (ex) business did screen printing for several years i would hand cut out designs on regular paper using an x-acto hobby knife, use a fabric spray to make it lightly stick to the shirt, and use spray paint. whatever works.

Emulsion.

+Bluestees Thanks buckaroo. Glad you liked it!

Hey, we didn't make the hinge. We bought some hinges to make the frame. If you look up something like Screen Printing Hinge Clamp or something like that it should get you the results you are looking for!

Not HTV.

Hi Jimmy! I have had that problem a few times in the past. It normally only happens when the pieces are extremely small or the adhesive gets compromised somehow. In general though, it doesn't happen very often. You can see in the video that there are some fairly small pieces in the Cat Napoleon's face and shoulder tassel triangle things ;) and they stayed on just fine. I have done several dozen prints before with a single screen. It helps if you are set up well beforehand with all of your printing supplies nearby in easy reach and a spot to dry also nearby. The longer you wait between prints, the more likely clogs are to form.

thank you for the advice.it seems easier than using emulsions and all the other steps involed. im trying to learn as many different techniques as possible and this looks like the easiest way for me having a small company where I will need to eventually learn screen printing.thank you for the advice

No problem Jimmy! Glad to be of help!

very nice. what is the vinyl called and where to buy them thank you.

Yeah, so the design needs to be flipped to look "backwards." The reason is that, as you can see when I apply it to the screen, I am putting it on the bottom of the screen. That way, the ink passes through and creates a design that is legible. Its really most important with text, but if you want your design to look exactly like you created it to begin with, you need to cut a flipped version to put on the screen.

@@professionalmatty The image (and especially text) needs to be mirrored!!

We have had a lot of requests for that! Maybe that will be up next. Its pretty simple though, just a piece of wood and Speedball Printing clamps.

Hey Rajesh, The vinyl should peel off easily and then you just wash the screen under water and probably use some Ink remover. We use Speedball Screen Cleaner.

I don't actually know. A co-worker of mine built the board. He believes they are the Speed-ball Screen Printing hinges.

Use sticker vinyl. :)

It is just Speedball Printing Clamps attached to a piece of wood! Couldn't be more simple!

john Hoon Hi I want to print a design on a denim jacket. How could I do this? Sorry I'm very new to this

radicalkills hello what all do you have? is a very important question

john Hoon Um sorry what do you mean?

do you have screens? squeezes? plastisol inks? air dry inks?

Hello john, I tried to do this but every time I use transfer tape, it sticks so hard to the vinyl that it doesn't separate? Can you help?

huh? lol. i can't see this vinyl lasting longer than maybe ten shirts before it starts falling off. i could be wrong, never tried doing this -- anything under 20 shirts and i would just use the vinyl itself for the shirt. the point of screen printing is because once it's set up it's for making a lot of product quickly. *this* is not how you bang out shirts, trust me, and there's no way in hell you're going to use more than one colour doing it this way unless you're amazingly lucky at lining it up. emulsion shouldn't start breaking down for about 100 shirts, if not longer. but, that's a process, though it doesn't *have* to be all sorts of fancy equipment. it's just if you do it for a living you'll have that equipment because you have to get a production method going -- allowing your emulsion to cure in the sunlight will work, it's just not efficient at all. i really don't know why anyone would screen print like this, tbh. you can, obviously, but i highly doubt it's going to last for any real time.

Yup, it is orange glossy Oracal vinyl for use with a 12 inch vinyl cutter.

it's an aluminum frame. i hadn't bought one in years, but they were about $25-30 online. just google screenprinting frames and you'll probably find what you're looking for. then you have to choose the mesh count, the higher the count the more threads there are and the more detail you can do. it's been a long time, but i think we use something like 155 thread count or something like that, but we used emulsion, too, in which case it becomes important. something like those prints it really isn't worth stressing over.
