  • Would have been nice to have explained how these processes work especially the bit about making the screen and how that all works, i think this video is made for people who already have knowledge of what these things are your using. would love to see a fuller explanation of how you make those screens.

  • AND WHERE THE HELL DO WE GO GET A SCREEN?! duhhhh

    deffo gonna be roaming around my house! :(

  • @dharj

    pac catans, they sell them there or you can order them online,

    use your head man, art supply stores and the interwebs are your friend

  • how do i make a design that covers the whole shirt?????

  • when you print the image onto the transparency, what kinda ink & what kind of printer do you use?

  • omg... totally randomly came across a video of the best book in the universe. THANK YOU YOUTUBE XD

  • im unhappy with every law...especially the ones banning anarchists from using mass media.

  • Very cool home brew! Nice video too. Check out my videos for tutorials on screen printing and heat transferring tee shirts. Questions welcome.

  • thank you Stella for your amazing video. You've taught me some valuable information and I appreciate it. I'll be using this for one of a kind designs I have created. Thanks again.

  • do you only put the emulsion on one side of the screen if so which side, also the emulsion did not rinse off what did I do wrong.

  • it doesn't really matter. Te only part that should wash off is the picture.

  • when do you put the transparency  do you do that when you do the emulsion or put on the transperancy after emulsion dries.

  • mam wat kind of light did you use mam?

  • this was a really kool video i had fun watching it i really have to say you guys did a really good job shooting it .

  • 5 stars since I no one ever explained to me how it was done.

  • dont tell me what to do bitch

  • lol

  • @m579064 listen son... i'm your daddy and I will tell you what to do

  • nice work. what kinda inks do u use?

  • Really cool video. The intro was way, way too long and annoying but a great video.

  • Screen printing is good cause it LASTS. Bigtime. I worked in a comercial printshop that outourced alot of work, and for single or 2 color outdoor signs we used screen printers, because it will last for AGES. alot longer than the crap you buy from cafe press or anything like that

  • the presenter has the most annoying voice ever

  • Unless you are going for quantity, why not just paint the design on the shirt or whatever, as that is what I do, and you get better quality also.

    Word to the warning though, some acrylic paint colors do not react well to pools with high clorine content so I would not reccomend painting bathing suits.

  • Lmao it sounds as though you learned that the hard way =P

  • Oh yeah.

    Some girls I knew wanted me to paint their bathing suits so being bored, I did it, only to have them come to my door the next day screaming at me because the pool water had turned all the black trim to baby diarrhea yellowish brown.

    To say they was not hapy with me is a major understatement, lol

  • Arg! Make a screen press for $10.00 with 2 clamps, a 1x2 and a gate hinge. Cure the ink with a shop light until it starts smoking.

  • They do have airdry ink also, as I used to work in a screen shop that used both heat & air inks.

  • 2 things:

    - lots of work for a printing tecnique that will not last more than one washing cycle...

    - guerrilla girl with the iPhone...no words...

  • ?????????????

  • Two things she does wrong:

    1. spreading the ink - this should be done in one direction only. Either along or across the screen.

    2. printing - same as above - in one direction only. But it should be the same one you used to spread the ink.

  • OH!

    serigrafia casera... yo solo tenia la duda de como plancharla nunca se me habia ocurrido la secadora jajaja!

    Nice video... very interesting!

    translate me!

  • how can I be as 1337 as you.

    "DIE BITCH"

  • nice video pretty and smart girl :D

  • so cool..very informative..thanks

  • well Sela you ROoooock

  • damn that cameraman must be a stud..

  • that's cool ,but only 4 fun cause u can go at a store and they can print 4 u in colors

  • the black desing is just for the screen.. you can use any color on the shirt... or even use more than one screen with different designs & colors every time

  • That was cool girl

  • thank yuo girl

  • sssssssss

    lets practice those!

    im sure there is a way to do multiple colors right?

  • Multiple meshes will do the trick.

    But adding a color is making the printing process 5 times more complicated.

    I used to be a pro silkscreen printer.

  • The dpi (dots per inch) of the mesh depends on how detailed and object it. 150 or something is for bold thick prints. 255 and up is for the thin lines and detail you get off a print.

    I do like how you used 2 films instead of one, but if you get a good ass printer you won't need to.

  • You will have a hard time working even with 160. It will drive you mad.

    200 and more are for automatic printing only. You will not be able to squeeze the ink through this mesh evenly with your hands.

  • when you put the emulsion your not supposed to use so much. All you need is enough to into the mesh/screen. With the excess, you need to get your ass a squeegy to pick it all off. Then you can burn the image.

    Now when you get the emusion off, ALL you need to do is WASH it off.

    What you also forgot to say is what size mesh you need. YOU CAN NOT JUST USE ANY KIND.

  • Generally you will be able to use meshes up to 200 lpi. 120 will be OK for the beginner.

  • huh? get my screen..and place it where I want it, the blow dry?

  • i've tried that already...that's what you called "burning a picture". The hard part is removing the emulsion...

  • Very empowering! What IS the screen made from?

  • She never says what the screen should be made from.

  • Aluminium tubes and a special cloth.

  • exelent!!!!!!!!

    soo cool

    thank you girl

  • her voice isnt the most pleasant because it sounds like shes reading cue cards but this is awesome!

  • a said you that say those secrets however this are for guys smartest please no said because this are a secret of the print plase plaesa!ª!!!!!!

  • isn't it cheaper and easier just to pay one of those stores to print your jpg file into a shirt of your choice. They can print in colors as well...

  • i never understood this

  • COOL!

  • Nice piece of information Thank You Very Much!

  • ! thats impossible!

    the last video that i watched had a similair message and it told me that a blue dragon a red demon and a human killing teddybear would be in my bed at 2:59 am.. so i guess there is no room left

  • Banksy designs. You should only use the ones he gives out to the public; I don't think he'd want us to over-use or commercialize his art/message. Especially by such middle-class suburban folk? I-phone timer anyone? Very guerilla, lol.

  • you make it look soooo hard its not

  • lol i love her lisp.

  • Or you can just have it printed on your shirt for the same price...

  • Huge ASS!

  • Does Banksy know you are using his drawings for unofficial Tshirts????

  • i kinda got lost on step number 500

  • 5 dicke Fische.Lg Tatjana

    -dillon

  • Yaaaay, gooo drugs!!

  • haha good one

  • yaaaayyyyy!!

  • ye mon drugsss,...

  • this bitch is fucking annoying

  • "i havn't made a t-shirt, i've only watched a video..."

    bad joke

  • I remember when you had to scrape out the design by hand on a special paper and what you left behind would be your image. This is much simpler to that old process. I'm going to get back into silk screening.

  • i jut use a silkscreening room at school

  • nice vidoe. but can i ask a question?

    after you kept the silkscreen in a dark a closet, is it already dried right? then you'll put the transparency above. did you put on some emulsion again?

    thanks.

  • No, you take the screen with dry emulsion, put the film on it and expose. Then wash it. The light will make the exposed parts into something like plastic, and the unexposed parts will soak with water and go off. It is light that hardens the emulsion.

  • So that's how you silkscreen at home. interesting

  • WHOA! what shitty emulsion take 45 minutes. everything ive ever used takes 2 to 5 minutes

  • Depending on what kind of light/emulsion you use, it can take as little as one minute.

  • That Was Cool For Got How Easy It Is
