Screen Printing on Black

This is one of the fastest methods I have found to manually print a single color image on a dark garment. With this method, I average about 225 shirts per hour.

Man I think it would be quicker to print white underbase, and then the yellow on top. You print flash print flash print each shirt? And then load them and rotate the carousel?!?! That is so not fast, and frankly I highly doubt you could get 225 shirts done with this method.

If you do a time lapse of you doing it, I will send you 20$ in the mail. But i doubt you could without blowing a gasket

1. You MUST flash the white before you print the yellow.

2. If you print only one white, your yellow will not pop. It will look muddied and the quality of print will be bad.

3. I've used this method consistently and with the conveyer dryer next to me, it is very possible and I've printed this fast.

4. Although $20 is a nice gesture, I now use an auto to print larger orders. I could print this in 1/2 an hour, $20 is not worth the time.

This video is meant to be helpful, not to make wild claims.

another thing that is also contributing to the fast production your getting with this method is the back-stroke printing you use withe the squeegee.

to all beginning screen printers back-stroke printing is way superior to the forward-stroke printing method. despite what many trainers try to tell you.

[ScreenersChoice]

Thanks for the comment. I have to agree. I've tried forward stroke printing like many suggest and I find I don't have the same kind of control. I found myself struggling to get a smooth, consistent stroke.

is this the type of thing that feels kind of like a rubbery feeling on the shirt?

[ScreenersChoice]

It depends on what screen mesh you are using. If you use a higher mesh, it has a softer, thinner feel. A lower mesh will make it feel rubbery.

Thanks man, I really want to get started in my own T-Shirt business. I'm a graphic designer and the way we are doing it now is with HotFlock, a vinyl type that is cut and heat pressed on. Do you have any insight? Possibly send me a message with some info.

Thanks again.

@trebluap first its INK not paint..and your mesh depends on your ink...normal everday inks..110's 156's or even higher if you want a softer feel. if you are using something like a glitter ink or something you need to use lower mesh counts like 86's and 60's. runny inks like reflective or air dry ink...go high mesh.

dude i think you're wasting a lot of time..just raise your flash a few inches and you can print a nice pace..how long can you actually hold that kind of speed? why kill youself when you dont have to...
