xTool Screen Printer: Your Complete Guide

The xTool Screen Printer is fairly new on the market and it takes screen printing to a whole new level! Use your laser to make screens for shirts and so much more. If you have ever dreamed of easily making your own screen print screens, this may be the product for you. I am going over how to make the screen as well as use the screen printer to make a shirt. The kit actually comes with everything you need to get started except for your xTool laser. Watch and see how to use this one and perhaps decide if this is right for you!

This laser was sent to me by xTool, however, all projects and opinions are my own.

Seriously, awesome rundown of how this thing works. I'm getting one within the month to work with my M1. On a lighter note, we jokingly thought about initiating a drinking game for every time you said the word 'Location'.

This is the third video I've watched on how to do this and this was by far the best. Thank you.

[thetwilightsown]

Hands down best tutorial on this kit! Thank you!

[ValYo]

Also, I've searched for a color screen print tutorial, where you use multiple colors on one design...do you have a tutorial on that? I really love how you explain EVERY DETAIL! Thank you!

[jaggedoriginals]

Thanks for another great tutorial video. You are my go to when I'm looking for something.

[spritecut]

Thank you, really informative and wonderfully presented. Good luck with your T-shirts too.

[MagsSubbly]

Best video I've seen explaining every part and what it does...thank you so much for your simple explanation on how to use it...how do the shirts hold up with washing

[reverendbebop]

Great video! Perfect description. Do you have any experience doing prints with multiple layers and colors?

[fistfullofbeer]

Very informative video. Great job! Are there any limitations on using screen printing with Cotton shirts/fabrics?

Angie you are the best teacher I have ever had… love you! Question tho… so once the screens have been lazered they are “permanent”… right? I can’t go back and make another design on that same screen? Seems like 3 replacement screens are $50 CDN (which is… $$$ no?) I’m curious to know how often you have used your setup and how fast you have gone thru the 3 screens that came with it and how many extra screens you think you or the average crafty queen will end up having to get? I love this setup but it kinda seems like the “consumable” price is a bit high, no?

[gigiscustomwoodsigns]

Great Tutorial, thank you😊
I have the d1 pro 20w, I'm curious if you are doing large size t-shirts like 3x or 4x how do you get a bigger print because the size you did would look to small for a bigger size shirt?
I'm wanting to buy the kit but wanted to know about bigger size shirts if you have any tips on that please?

Thank you for your reply about being able to use the Xtool screen printer with M1. Are the dimensions of the screen printer the same as those of the M1? Have you tested using the screen printer with the M1? If so, I am wondering if there is a difference if any. Thank You. You have been such a help with your tutorials.

[ValYo]

Thank you for another great tutorial! However, why can't you use the color screen print with the M1?

[ManiBlacktiger]

Thanks for this review! It was super helpful but could I get some suggestions?
I ran my design using the following settings:
Power :90
Speed :50
Lines per inch: 200
I have a lot of fine details and halftone accents that didn’t engrave through! What setting would you suggest for this? 😮

[yraz]

Thank you for this great video. Do you happen to know if one can buy a mesh screen and install in place of an xtool screen? I would like the option of using a mesh screen with HTV.

[philoara]

❤Thank you for this beautiful video! 🙂❤️Can we de-engrave the screen and reuse any emulsion?

[purplecookie]

Hey the instructions actually show the fixing plate being installed on the other side we are using the riser base or do we install it as you did? Thank u

[TJRusk-vzto]

Hi! I’m looking at getting this kit, but I already have an atom stack laser engraver and I use lightburn. Would I still be able to use my engraver with this kit, or would I NEED to get an xtool engraver? Hope that makes sense. Thank you!

[rlaureng]

To keep shirts from shifting between ink passes or if you print with more than one color, you could use pallet tape and some water-based adhesive, like used with conventional screen printing.

Out of curiosity, since I know you've printed with conventional screens before and can compare, for people with texture issues involving touching metal mesh like me, is the metal mesh a different feel under the squeegee? I feel like I could hear the difference, though it might be my hypersensitivity speaking.

[lyndamoore]

I would like to be clear about using a screen printer. You used the S1. Is it ever possible to use a screen printer if one only has the M1 and is interested in using one color ink?
