This is nothing more than a toy! It is more marketing hype than screen print reality. WHY would you pay more to print with a YUDU than it costs to do it the way REAL screen printers do it? See my 'All About Screen Printing' videos and you will soon know the reality. Get pro advice not the marketeer hype. Also see the video: 'YouTees vs YuDu Screen printing' here on youtube. 'Yu' will be glad you did. As a REAL screen printer...it HURTS to watch this being aimed at those who want to SP.

where did u get all that at

yudu sucks.... the printing area is not even that big...

For a little over $300 I have an industrial 1 color 1 station printing press, two screens, enough white and black ink to make over 1000 shirts, a gallon of emulsion, a quart of emulsion remover, a squeegy, scoop, halogen lamp, and 50 transparency sheets. Way more worth it than buying a yudu where you can only make 2 shirts off the bat for $200.

That what Provo says on the website, but I'm going to try other inks when I pick up some more... The Yudu ink is too $ in the stores, I've bought most of mine on ebay

The girl doing the demo looks like that was her first time doing one, you don't spread the ink the the edge, you place it on the screen. If she would have flooded the screen correctly the first time, she would have needed to run a second bead...

[Joeyv415]

Can you use your own emulsion or do you need to use their emulsion sheets? Also, I've heard you should only use Yudu paint, is that true or false?

[acdcgraphics]

Can you use standard screenprint inks? I'd like to make some metallic designs, on dark fabrics, would you need to flash with white first?

Thanks,

Ava

I'm pretty sure for this machine you'd just have to make a separate transparency that you burn onto the screen for each color. Each section would be like a layer. First do the top, then the middle, then the bottom. That's how we do it traditionally. However if the sections don't overlap at all, you can just tape off what you don't want in that color. EX for doing the top, tape off everything but the top. Print, let dry, tape off everything but the middle, and so on. Kinda depends on your design.
