I am in general a fan of the "Not a tutorial, but an educational explanation of what I did and the considerations I was making in the process" format, and this video is a 10/10 for me. Looking forward to whatever you put out next.

one thing i like about you is that you always have one eye pointed to the future. who else would have sanded and varnished the plywood immediately to make future cleanup easier?

it's good to see you so excited about this new direction. your sister does great work, too.

Back in the days, I interned at a screen printer. For multicolour, we had all the screens set up in a circle around a pole and pre-aligned them. That way, you printed one colour and then pivoted the screen you just used to the side, thereby brining in the next screen already aligned perfectly. That way, you saved the time of changing screens in the holder for every print.
Another, but similar, method we used on 4-colour prints had the printing base rather than the screen rotate. 5 stations; one to put whatever you were printing on on (and in the end off) the base, and then passing it on in turn to the four colours. Granted, that's a bit overkill for a beginner maker; but worth mentioning, I think.

Screen printing aside, that's one hella aesthetically pleasing looking workshop!

I'm a huge fan of your work, I watch your videos whenever I can. Congratulations.

Thank you for a very interesting video, Cris! You seem to be full of energy and creativity again and that makes me really happy!

This is an incredible channel, glad I found it!

[LewHarriman]

Wow. What a huge advance over the traditional methods! So much simpler, faster and much easier to keep screens in registration. Perfect for short-run multicolor prints.... and very economical, given what's included in that multicolor kit. (Clever technique on the magnet and thin ruler to keep the notebooks flat.)

[JackKirbyFan]

You come across as such a kind and caring person and I thank you for all your help in various products that I've used over the years. Keep up the great work! Esp. love the glue scraper.

[jutulporten]

It's always such a joy to watch your creative process! I love that you share the mistakes and problems as well! Creativity is often messy but when you see the end result all the hard work is worth it! Thank you!

[JoeTheGons]

You're so cool. I'm glad I found your channel; the inspiration you create is like no other. Thank you!

[christinacreatesau]

Oh wow. This is a game changer for modern screen printing.
Thanks for sharing.

[spaceyrat]

So cool! Things have changed a lot since I took a screenprinting class in 2009!

[FrinkyBaby]

The BOOM is back! Thanks for sharing this cool process, Cris!

I used to make screens back in 1980. It was for printing circuit boards, which were then etched to leave the copper clad on the board. There was a lot of work involved.

A true labor of love! Great project, great machines.

[Aldo.flores]

I admire you so much, all your videos have an enormous amount of work behind them and it’s very noticeable, it’s worth every second til the end!

looks great! @32:00 looks like with the speedball you applied more pressure, also love speedball ink they are thicker so it leaves less room for bleed. Also it seems the levers on the frames might need to be longer for easier leverage.

The laser cutter makes a big difference. Would like to see print on T-shirts. Even the printer is different than conventional printers. Aside the equipment, what inspires to see here is her passion.
