You will need to have a screen for each image you want to print unless you want to reclaim the screen between each print.

[balla1lalakers]

Is all that you need is that one wooden screen unit of do you need to buy one for each design

Ryonet , will I also be able to print onto sweatshirts and other tops ?

[danae9870]

Thank you for the great video! I can't wait to order the kit so I can start :) And thank you for sharing your awesome techniques.

[7KevinTKD]

how many shirts will your basic $150. kit print?

Thank you.

[Ryonet]

@7KevinTKD with the supplies that come in the kit, around 40 or so, but you can easily get more ink and print thousands!

I really do hope this video is helping explain the basic steps of screen printing.

[Ryonet]

Just remember that unexposed emulsion cannot be exposed to UV light or it will be ruined. follow that rule and you will be fine.

[MattxMorris]

Do I have to have amber lights like you have while my screen is pre-exposed? I see a lot of people have normal lighting and their screens are coming out fine.

[FelixBarre]

is the sun hot enough to replace that light and hairdryer. i'm in key west florida.

[Ryonet]

@FelixBarre It is, the only problem is that it is not consistent so you exposure times will change slihgtly.

[FeatSkateboards]

Can you screen onto wood that is concave like a skateboard deck, or does the surface you want to screen on have to be flat against the wood? Or, can you not print on wood at all, just cotton t shirts?

[Ryonet]

@FeatSkateboards You can though it is not as easy as a shirt, you have to get very good at it with larger screens and different ink.

I really love how Ryonet finds time to comment on every post! That's what customer service is all about! This is the best company i've ever delt with!

[Probedude2000]

Question on making the transparency. I have not been impressed with how black I can make a transparency on an ink jet or laser printer for PC board exposure and developing. Is it less critical for silkscreen emulsion? Do you have a recommended printer/transparency?

[Probedude2000]

@Probedude2000 Nevermind, I see from your website you sell ink. Is this a 'must' have for just fooling around? (not looking to go commercial with this)

[Ryonet]

@Probedude2000 Probably not. You can print two copies and stack them on top of each other or even run it through the printer twice to get something darker.

[Probedude2000]

@Ryonet Thanks much! My laserprinter doesn't feed accurately enough to feed in 2X (not for PC board work that's for sure), but stacking 2 prints I can do!

[ZmanZoo]

you make putting the emulsion on look so easy. when I did it it dripped all over the place

[Ryonet]

@ZmanZoo You might not be holding the scoop coater correctly against the screen.

[skoolboiedd]

Im looking on buying your kit as compared to the YUDU because it just seems more durable,however i want to get an extra screen that is bigger in size, with that being said what would be a good size mesh for small print and detailed work? Thanks in advance cant wait to start silk screening!

[Ryonet]

@skoolboiedd The higher mesh counts enable you to do more detail but it's all a balance. 156 and 200 are good counts to start with. For really fine detail you're going to want to go with 280 or 305. Glad you're excited!

[cityrag]

If i was just going to print a simple font (font size approx 2 inches ) across the chest part of the t-shirt , what size mesh count would be ideal, thanks

[Ryonet]

@cityrag I would recommend 156 

[Jimbolalo]

Lol and beyond!! I might just buy we r makin shirts kinda

[GOGOPRESS]

very detail Thanks for video

[pinkukki]

This is a bit of a noob question.. If the hobby kit includes one screen, and after you've exposed an image onto it, can you re-use the screen with a new image?

[Ryonet]

@pinkukki yep, you just have to "reclaim" the screen by removing the stencil.

[Ryonet]

@pinkukki You sure can, it comes with the chemicals to reclaim it
