Hey I have a question right now all I have is a black light and it's burning a screen right now as we speak but how long do u figure it would take with just one black light 18" tube to burn an image?? I plan on getting a few and creating a box but until then this is how I think I'm gonna do it because I only have nights to do this. Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks

[CatspitProductions]

@weenerguy831 Well, you need an industrial black light as opposed to a novelty unit. And exposure is something that is affected by the emulsion you are using, the film positives, the distance from the light source to the screen and even the artwork itself. The age of the bulb can also affect exposure times. You have to do a few tests to determine this for your particular factors and situation. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

heat the pallets bro.

[CatspitProductions]

@tomkat410 Ah so you know that heating the pallets will gel the ink on contact and often gives a much different look to the print surface, yes? And the ink tends to stay on top of the fabric due to the gelling. While this may give you some better opacity it may also cause the ink to semi cure in the mesh making it necessary to clean the mesh out every now and then. It may also cause print durability issues.

love your videos. I am new to screen printing so I am making plenty of mistakes. lol. I've made all my equipment like light table and print press. My biggest problem is getting good color seperations. I am using photoshop and illustrator for my images but it still doesn't separate quite right. Is there a way to get the color seps without using a $3000 program?Thanks again your videos are the best.

[CatspitProductions]

@rich4259 Thanks, glad you like the videos. Yes you can use Illustrator for many output needs. Sometimes it’s a matter of knowing how to use the software more than anything. Artwork can be complicated and it’s critical to know what you are doing otherwise you can have a difficult time on the press. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
