always enjoy your videos.We have been a t shirt manufacture since 1990 and my wife and I just decided this year to get into screen printing and we have learned a great deal from watching you.I run around 750, 000 shirts a year and making the shirt is the easy part for sure.thanks

Great work, especially like the information on the screen mesh, squeege durometer, off contact and strokes. Often times we see this done without this information and never seem to figure out why ours dosen't look like yours, shirts that is. Thanks again.

[smokey]

very Cool and the thing about being a professional is that sometimes you just expect for folks to know, by not thinking that it is so elementary, why mention it! But you never know when someone that really is trying to make something work for their life...really needs that simplicity of knowledge. Thankyou for your wisdom and your working knowledge. Shalom

Thank you my friend! Thanks for watching and commenting! ☠

[CatspitProductions]

Thank you! This is a bit too much to answer in a comment but you’ll never be able to compete with an automatic press if you’re printing manually. Automatic presses are not only faster but they are more consistent and can print in ways you can’t on a manual press. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

Great stuff, I would have liked to have seen you print with the colour of money. ( ie the right green ) on both a white AND a black shirt bud.

Fantastic video though, thanks for the share.

Hi there. A common question. To reach perfect one color halftone, do we need to add a bit reducer like 2-3% for plastisol ink? And do stroke, flash, final stroke? I did it without gave ink the reducer, I did the second stroke, I lose the brightness. Any tips?

[CatspitProductions]

You’re very welcome. Glad you enjoy my work. I’m referring to the black ink screen and the white ink screen. Thanks much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
