Yudu four color process print

Four color process print done on a Yudu printer. Pretty coarse line count...32,5 on 2 110's and 2 220's. A lot of people hate on the Yudu but just like with most things it takes some practice and a little patience...and nix the capillary film (LOL).

I have a Yudu and struggled to make a 4 color shirt. It came out good, but not as good as yours here. I wish this was a how-to video. I like the image you used too.

@LiLiJughead

Thanks Juggie (LOL!).

Don't know if you're using capillary film. It seems to be an obstacle for some. I find diazo/liquid emulsion is less daunting. The Yudu gets a bad rap but it is what it is. Read and learn as much as you can about screen printiing and practice and it will become easier. There are videos on setting up CorelDRAW and Photoshop for process and spot colors here on Youtube and TONS on screen printing.

Be patient, practice and be well.

Did you get the e-mail?

Thanks, dude. I plan on getting one to make my designs on T shirts. I need to do something with my artistic talent aside from ho'ing. Know what I'm saying? Anyways, kidding. Seriously, thanks for the tut.

@HappyHooker83 LOL! Too many artists do get "pimped".

You done any screen printing? In my one comment I said, "I neither recommend nor endorse BUYING one...". I really did mean that. Especially for starting out. Nice prints can be done with the Yudu. But then nice prints can be done on your kitchen table with just a screen, some ink and a squeegee. I'm not slamming the Yudu but there are other alternatives you may find more versatile and less expensive supplies. PM me if you want some info.

@BLACKREDTAILANGEL

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I used the cap film. My problem was bleeding from one onto the other, mostly slippage on the screens. But since I don't have Draw or Photoshop and just cut the colors out by hand, perhaps it was my process that made it so hard. I'll check out the other videos. Thanks!

No i didnt get the email. Pls email again

@BLACKREDTAILANGEL Thanks, glad you like my channel. I agree. There is a decent learning curve with any screen printing. Screenprinting isn’t that hard to learn, it’s just easy to misprint shirts. So with a little effort, I think most anyone can learn to print tee shirts. And the Yudu is what it is. It’s OK for kitchen printers but definitely not a professional unit suited for commercial production. ☠

@BLACKREDTAILANGEL No, I mean it. Process work isn’t easy even with all the professional tools. That print looks pretty decent. And done on a Yudu! That’s more a testament of your skills rather than what the Yudu can do because with good skills, you can print in many different situations. I think few people would be able to reproduce your results unless they are very experienced screen printers and have a good understanding of the entire method. ☠
