The way to sort out who to listen to when learning about screen printing is to look at what they have printed. The best tests are 3-D ink and printing on woven materials. Beware of the self-trained, because their teacher was unqualified. The teacher should be someone who has tried all the options to find the best option, and that takes years of work.
hi, I am from the southern philippines. Presently, my business is t-shirt manufacturing. I like your tutorial very much. Ours here is very obsolete. I like to have your products here distributed. As far as I know, nobody is selling your products in the philippines. I really want to use your products. thanks a lot.
You are over stating the tension issue. All solid frame mfgs. tension/relax/retension/glue their screens. The very best (amazing screenprints!)company I ever worked for uses SOLID aluminum and wood screens. Newmans hare far more problematic than you let on. While you are screwing around with retensionables many of us know better. I wish SP suppliers would start selling on REAL WORLD ISSUES rather than what amounts to little more than Tech BS. Newmans are a waste of time and money. I KNOW.
Since rotary presses don't register and Newman frames are inferior, then you need to call M&R, TAS, MHM, Anatol and all the other manufacturers and their customers and distributors to tell them they are all wrong. Then the world will be a better place.
OMG! Roger, you are all wet here. Transfers used to be notorious for cracking/edge peel due to NOT being bonded to fabric well. Direct screen printing SUPPOSED TO give a deeper penetration of ink into fibers. Newman roller frames(NOT!)the best by far...do not change that. I GOT CTS on a six color;ON NEWMANS! VERY few people get cps from screen TYPE. Newmans take special skill to stretch correctly(few can or do)and are harder to tape and clean.
Where can i study this techniques?, i'm in Mexico, in Mexicali Baja California, here i'm an engineer woman, unemployed, i want to change my career, Mexico is so hard 4 woman, this bussines can i work behind and sell in a store.
We provide our customers with comprehensive training based our our 30years of printing, making equipment and distributing supplies. We have tried all the options. The starting point is a business plan, and when you finish, you might not want a store. Contact me at rjenningsmfgco at yahoo dot com for more details. roger
you say to "tear the fabric" and not cut it. why is that? It doesnt seem like it would tear that easily. Really like your vids. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks.
We snip the edge of the mesh, and then tear. Tearing is easy. The reason we tear is the mesh tears along the thread line so we end up with a piece that is a rectangle. When we lay the mesh over the frame, we want the threads absolutely parallel to the sides of the frame so we can develop maxium tension. We can eyeball the mesh to make sure the threads are parallel. If you cut, you will fishtail and end up with mesh not parallel to the frame. So your mesh will rip easily.
I would have written more of an answer, but I am limited by youtube to 500 letters. Ug. However, you can email me at roger@rjennings.com, and I will answer, but just make sure you have screen printing on the subject line so we don't delete. Or call 800 500 2279 for answers. Roger
Before you get equipment, you need training to avoid expensive mistakes. We provide training and technical support free. Exposure unit. Budget $50. You will need supplies: ink, screens, squeegees, capillary film, etc. $400. You will need a flash dryer $594. Presses start at 1 color ($425) but are available up to 8 colors. Start out small, and later return the press for your lifetime 75% trade-in credit for more colors. More questions? Call 800 500 2279. I will answer all your questions.
Not really. You want to make money. You make money by producing more shirts per hour which you can do with very tight mesh, eliminating having to stop printing to clean bottoms of screens, eliminating misprints, eliminating a lot of flash curing, and more. What is your time worth per hour? Overhead in most businesses costs 3-4 times direct labor cost. So every labor hour saved avoids the overhead also. When you look at the savings, these frames more than pay for themselves.
Actually, Newman is the least expensive frame. Cost includes purchase cost and cost of ownership. So you print faster, i.e. make more money per hour, have fewer misprints, register faster, eliminate a lot of flash curing so you print faster, eliminate wiping bottoms of screens, etc. That is all money in your pocket. In 30 years I have purchased 12 shirt frames. A customer who prints 10,000 shirts/day has purchased 20 in 30 years. How much have you spent buying screens? roger
Newman frame. Newman makes the best frame for reasons explained in the video. These frames save enormous amount of time, and the cost of your time that you save makes the frames free. You also avoid costly mistakes, and that savings is greater than what the frame costs also. roger@rjennings.com
