I Have a question about emulsion when i rinse out my art work off my screen it gets real slimmy is that normal.

Thanks :)

[CatspitProductions]

@noahdog168 Only to a certain extent. This is indicative of an under exposure. If this occurs slightly on the ink well side, that is to be expected with some exposure times. But if both sides are like that then your screen is severely under exposed. Increase the exposure time to a point that this problem is minimized or eliminated while still being able to washout your stencil. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

Im a little confused as to why you burned the registration marks onto the first screen. Now you have to make sure to not ink them when applying the ink? Is that normal?

[CatspitProductions]

@thallium200 Yes, this is normal. When you actually use the registration marks you would ink them and print them with the design as a test print. Then you can use the print itself as well as the printed reg marks to line up the design. On an automatic press if a carrier system is not used the registration marks are heavily relied upon. When you set to run the print job you simply tape off the reg marks. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

Look up roger jennings vids. He has one on how to make a simple jig that works like a charm for placing multiple positives in the same place and it will speed up the time you spend measuring to place your positives. Love all the vids and sent u a question via your website. Thanks Sarge

[CatspitProductions]

@sargearea51 I always thought about making my own jig. I could set up my own system easily but I guess I have gotten used to it and it doesn’t take me too long anymore. But yea, Jennings has some cool videos too. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

[CatspitProductions]

Yes, I have known sign makers who would use black adhesive vinyl, computer cut art, applied to clear acetate as their film positives. It works great, absolutely opaque! I think you could probably use any color that is sufficient to block the exposure source. You can get very large rolls of acetate online, Im sure. Thanks for the comment!

Depending on your artwork, self weeding transfer paper has many advantages. It is not always necessary, but over all I would say it is better than traditional consumer brand transfer papers. But some need professional application. I would say aluminum frames are better. Dye Sublimation ink is used with sublimation printers which make heat transfers that transfer the ink by way of a gaseous process activated by the heat. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

great as always!! hey! one question! I have a vinyl cutter so you think that I can cut my art works with vinyl then put it on the screen to burn it instead of print my art works on a transparent sheet. that way i can make larger art works!! I seen here on you tube people using vinyl but they never burn it to the screen they just stick it on!!
