Screen Printing with a vinyl stencil

This is a quick video on using cut vinyl as a stencil instead of standard emulsion.
It is not necessarily cheaper option, but more of a time saver and easy to do for 5 or less prints.

the best video showing the stencil way of screenprinting by simply showed every thing i been wondering about with this process!!!!Thanks!!!

Yes, we used to do this too at the place where I worked. I silk screened road signs, big ones, usually one color, on a machine. We used it on short runs usually less than say five panels. After that the acetone would eat the vinyl. But we even used these to print three colors, red, yellow, green, one pass, for stop light type road signs. It is a little tricky though and you really only get one chance to get it right. Good job.

Great one..What catched my eyes is the lines on your platen...I understand it's for alignment but can you explain them so I can do similar on my platen?

Very cool. Nice video. I love how you used the application tape to tape off the screen. That's an old Ranar press. And a Ranar flash cure unit. They last forever. That's why I sell them ;) I sell plotters too so I really need to do a video about this. Come get some Catspit~!

awesome tips, you can reuse your transfer tape just stick it back on the backing you peeled it off of.

Thanks for the vid. I’m just moving from vinyl to SP and the screen burning is a bit of a learning curve. This i can do until I’m more comfortable/experienced. 👍🏾

can you use this long term like a burned screen or one time thing ?

What about small details..they peel quickly when flooding the screen anx sometimes stick to the shirt ...any pointers on how to keep this from happening

[mommarl]

Where can I get that small cavea belt from that you have right there behind you

[vinylxpressionz]

so is it better to add the vinyl to the bottom or the top of the screen or does it not matter?

[Dunn]

How many shirts can you print with one vinyl stencil before you have to switch it out for new vinyl?

[dannylopez]

I am into HTV and sublimation as a hobby and now i want to try screen printing and this method seems to be reasonable for me since i im not a pro and i dont have a bussiness. That UV coating was a factor that always kept me away of that. How long are those screens lasting? Can tehy be cleaned easily and can you put the dirty paint water in the canal or is it dangerous? The only problem with this method is that you can not do pictures or complex shapes because the plotter can not cut fine details but for fonts ond logos this is enough i would say. I dont like the look and feel of HTV i have to say. I saw on youtube that somebody printed with puff ink which creates that marshmallow effect, looks really nice. I have to try that and i can use my heat press to fix the print i guess. greetings from Germany
