How to screen print a T-shirt

[MartianFlipbook]

did you just use regular paper to print out the image and transfer onto the emulsion?

[HowAboutDuctTape]

Stop motion or a really laggy video...

[tinfoilandy]

looks like you can build a printing machine from two ceiling fans attached together; one to put the t-shirts on and one for the screen mesh.

[jamesisaak777]

you need a conveyor dryer. makes life way easier and fully cures the ink.

[ElVerdugoDetusSuenoS]

What kind of paint is that?

[rvcasa]

@ElVerdugoDetusSuenoS, which paint?

in the beginning they use an ink blocking substance, a photo emulsion that hardens when exposed to ultra violet light.

[1dressmyself]

Hello Magalymaria

It's called a printing carousel and is used for multi-colour screen prints onto T-shirts and other garments.

[AngThacker]

What do you use to hold the shirts in place?

[1dressmyself]

We use textile adhesive liquid.....glue.

[halfhearts88]

exeeeelente amigos. very good video is a lot in a short timr it´s a good sintesis. saludos

[1dressmyself]

I don't know what drawing fluid is.

Sorry!

[finemofok]

Is Drawing fluid the same as emulsion?

[CatspitProductions]

Drawing fluid is different from emulsion. Using drawing fluid in conjuction with screen filler is an alternative method of getting your artwork to screen. Emulsion is light sensitive and requires exposure to light with your art to transfer the art to screen. See my video, How To Screen Print: The process Explained.

Hi Kepasocz

That's two questions. The film in the printer is a special kind of acetate designed for screen printing (kimonec). You can also wipe a tiny amount of white spirit on to the ink on the film to darken it. Make sure it's totally dry before you expose the screen though. It's not always necessary but helps with complicated designs.

[kepasocz]

hi, cool video. I have one question. Is there a tracing paper in printer? And what is the chemical that you aply on that paper for making artwork darker? Thanx for answer. Bye.
