In today's video I’m going to show you how to print a t shirt at home for super cheap, with no equipment.
Here is a list of things you will need.
1 exposed screen covered in a previous video.
1 14x20 inch ¾ in thick board.
2 clamps like this or this.
1 12” squeegee
1 roll Screen tape
Spray tack
1 100% black cotton t-shirt
1 heat gun
1 qt White plastisol ink
1 ink spatula.
1 qt emulsion remover and a spray bottle
1 garden hose and a spray nozzle
Step 1 Taping the screen
This step prevents ink from leaking out around the edge of the screen.
Use the tape to create a damn inside all four edges of the screen
and tape the registration marks from the bottom.
Step 2 ink the screen
Use the spatula to scoop the ink out of the container and spread it evenly below the image.
Prop your squeegee up on the bar of and set the screen aside.
Step 3 load the tee and screen
Spray a light mist of spray tack onto the board and load the t shirt onto the board.
Make sure the tee is straight and centered on the board.
Use your hand to smooth the shirt onto the board.
Lay the board with the t-shirt on a table
Grab the screen and place it over the shirt board
Use the clamps to secure the screen and board to a table.
Step 4 Make the print
Use the squeegee to pull ink across the image maintain a solid consistent downward pressure to drive the ink onto the shirt below the screen.
Do a second pass to ensure good ink coverage.
Unclasp the screen from the table and lift if from the shirt.
Step 5 Cure the print.
Wave the heat gun over the image to cure the ink. Plastisol ink needs to hit 320 degrees to achieve a full cure.
You can also use your home oven. Preheat the oven to 320 degrees. Place the tee on a cookie sheet into the oven for 60 seconds. Your tee will be ready to wear.
Achieving a bright white print on a dark garment requires a second hit of ink. This method is not achievable with these tools.
However using black ink on light shirt will look great using this method.
Step 6 clean up
Use your ink spatula to remove the ink from the screen. Place it back into the ink container, remove the tape and chuck it in the trash.
If you are done with this image you can reclaim the screen and use it for a different graphic.
Wet both sides of the screen then apply the emulsion remover to both sides of the screen. Let the screen set for 3-5 min and then scour that puppy with the scrub pad to loosen the emulsion from the mesh.
Spray the flat side of the screen until the emulsion is fully washed away. In some cases a second pass with the emulsion remover is necessary.

This has got to be the very best tutorial I've ever watched!!!! Thank you!
I followed this process for my first time silkscreening shirts. Worked great and I’m very happy with the results. Thanks for posting the video.
Awesome to hear, thank you for keeping us posted, you are the man.
@@ThePrintLife Do you need to do the "full clean" on the screen after every shirt?
thank you for the cleanup tips! super helpful video!
"No equipment" lol Great video though, really easy to follow.
Yea a little click baity, but as little equipment as possible.
SMH!
And this is exactly how I do my shirts! Awesome video
Love your vids and attitude thank you for the knowledge!
First off, great tutorial. I have watched several videos that intimidated me in using this process. Yours definently made this look doable. Thanks so much. Looking for a video to make the transfers.
Thanks for the tip!
Great video! Informative and funny. More please! Thank you.
Perfect video! Brings back my memories of screen printing class in High School! Great easy to understand video thank you bro!

Great job, Cam!!
Thanks Becky.
Awsome I love it
I want one of those shirts!!! Great Video... now Subscribed!!
Your video so informative and very professinal ! Cheerz from Russia ! Brotha !
Love the video! If I'm printing the same design on multiple shirts is it necessary to use the emulsion remover and completely clean the screen?
You are so cute and funny!!! Love it! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Your the best.
THANKS BROTHA💪🏾
This is a great video! Could you make a video on how to apply the artwork on the shirt straight?
Hey perfect vid , wondering if I can use waterbased ink instead of plastisol
Thanks bro
Cam, the Printer with a Personality :-)
love your videos
If you were going to re-use the screen, can you clean it with out removing the emulsion? Thanks
howdy, i'm a subscriber to your management software. just to say that you are awesome. learning it was easy and not 1 hiccup. i can give quotes on the fly with no headaches. This is a must have, thx. my question is what size mesh do you use on your screens. 180/200/260.....or 110 lol.
fantastic vid!
"Hello am Cam
Onwner of Monument Limited
We print Tshirt!" Then the intro n music...
And a great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh man that is good to hear. You are the best. So you like the intros short??
Great videos! Can you show a 2 color home made set up and print demo? Thank you! 😎
Is it possible to do multi color prints this way with a few shirts or is it too hard to line up the stencils?
Dude Thanks!
Good
How about plastic business cards do you already have a tutorial for that.. if not can you make one
Can you use a heat press to cure the ink? Love your video.
Cam, just found your channel! Subbing! Airbrush artist, getting into Screen Printing. I'm on a budget because I own and operate a haunted house and it's still in young stages... so, no flash, no heat press. Question, I know plastisol degasses some, is it actually safe to use the kitchen oven for these shirts?? If so, I'm just gonna use the oven till next season (when I get paid again lol)
Interesting!
Do ypu have a tutorial for art work? How to get art work ready for print..
what's the material on which the design is printed? (the screen)
Cam have you ever used emulsion sheets
your one awesome dude …….dude
So let's say I had one design I was going to keep using.
Could I not wash off the emulsion without any effect to the quality of the screen?
What brand of emulsion and inks do you use? Are they Plastisol inks? Just started following you and love the help videos.
Need this same video but with a second color on top of the white
@PrintLife...is it possible to print on 100% polyester..i gotta job for 60 red shirts...black white an yellow colors. Whats your advice? He dont want cotton
After watching 1000 screen printing videos I finally found the ones with style and aesthetic! Could you do a detailed video on printing white plastisol ink on black shirt. I find it challenging to get the exact amount of pressure to avoid fibrillation but have a good opacity but also no thick layer of ink! So many factors! Thanks man!
Yes I will be dong that video for sure. Thank you for watching a few video from my channel it means allot Pat.
Where do you order the emulsion you use from?
Can I use a heat press to cure the ink ?
Hi sir, what font you used on this?
That looks tasty...
I need to print on cotton muslin or broadcloth, not a t-shirt. Any clues?
what is the font you always used in your video
Hey man I love your video so far they’re so helpful just one question where do you buy your supplies, like Ink, emulsion, screens, emulsion remover, ink remover etc ?
I use Multicraft, and Advanced screen print supplies for 80% of my supply purchases.
EBAY
@Cam
Do you have a video on how to print three colors without a machine?
I'm working in a small space and would like to start printing pet clothing without the big machine.
🤔
CAM what tha fuck now everyone gonna screen print . Im gonna have customers come in and say " well i can go get shirts made for $1" and have like 3 shirts lmao. keep rockin n rollin!
How do you create your design in the first place?
hello! thanks a lot for the awesome tutorials! so I am a visual artist and illustrator based in panama city, I am currently organizing my studio to start printing some t shirts, but the only thing I dont have is a flash dryer for curating the ink, or an oven nearby. My question is, can I fully curate plastisol with a heat gun? I will start printing black ink on white t shirt. I would really apreciate if you could answer this :)
Hey que pasa 👊 un saludo desde Bta col - escríbeme a @kalbotero
Please make a allover print tutorial
Hey! How many t shirts can you print from that one screen?
For those of you who have graduated from a US high school, that's 1 Roll of tape.
The tape does have a role in the creation, but there's a difference between role and roll.
It's a homonym, words that sound the same but have different meaning.
Dope
One bad ass dude! ;)
Thank you! Im just starting out- as in right this minute--do you have to do that whole cleaning process in between each shirt- if its same print same colors etc?
How do you get your art onto the screen??
Great vid.. what would be the must have colors to start your printing business
Just buy them as you need them. White for sure, Shops tend to print allot of Red Yellow Green and Blue.
Best blank tee brand?
I don't know if you did this but it would be cool to see a video that talks about how to do pricing where to source your materials including t-shirts and ink
Good Idea
That oven trick is fucking genius!!!!!!!!
Well Mr Brilliant how to get the pic on the screen?
Is using degreaser mandatory?
Two questions:
1. Would a hairdryer work instead of a heat gun? (Yes, I know about the oven lol just wanting to know all my options.)
2. What about acrylic inks? Same curing process? Same temp on the oven? Lol
Thanks!
Appreciate
Thanks Doug. Im still learning how to communicate in a fun and entertaining way. Hang in there with me the channel and tutorials will get better.
you said there's no such thing as a one-hit White. Anyway, all of your videos have been very helpful. Especially this one now that I know I can do a one hit White. Your quest for one-hit white was the first video of yours I watched.
Great job, I could not get it opaque enough.
can it air dry
what about water based ink?
If the tools mentioned can't achieve a bright white print on a dark shirt, what tools would I need and that I can get if I'm working with a tight budget to do so?
Try to find a low mesh count frame like 77 or 90 , then use plastisol inks for dark garments ( mix it a lot before you used )
How to printing full?
The shirts have to be cotton??
Hi, i am a new subscriber, you have a very informative channel. Could you please tell how to do complex designs? I mean with a lot of graphics. Thanks
Love your fursona !
Thank you for the video. Can I ask you a few questions?:
- The "de-greaser" is dish soap or something else?
- I was told water based ink is better than plastisol for beginners, is that right?
- Can I follow this tutorial with water based ink or does it have more steps?
Degreaser is not dish soap. It's called degreaser, there are multiple brands, you can buy it anywhere
Cam is a friend of Mary :D
Can you use an iron and greaseproof paper to set the ink???
Yes, you can also use and old iron without vape steam !! NO STEAM , then use a graeaseproff paper
hola
So did i miss the part about getting the design onto the screen?
tOnY O made a separate video on that part.
Yo hold on, how am i supposed to do the printing design?
So if doing multiple shirts with the same image, do I still wash the emulsion from the screen after each shirt? Sorry if Im an idiot.
No need to wash the emulation off if you’re going to keep using that image.
Langs Custom Knives If Your Screen Was Big Enough You Could Even Use Two Or More Images And Just Cover The On Your Using With Tape For Now
No equipment, just supplies. Shows how much people in the comments don’t know.
Know your role....
Kindly make a Tips and tricks video for screen printing based on your experience.
How do you mean????
The Print Life like fast production, cost cutting, resource allotment, etc
oh ok yea that would be sweet il do that after I finish this low budget series.. I wanted the vlog to be about the business side but it hasn't worked out that way.
Can you do a video and how to print your design out and to burn the image on the screen.
Already did the burn the screen video. I also made a video on how to print your design without any equipment. th-cam.com/play/PLE-KEiLobt20nULsQJ7FKlussNBO6RqDG.html
I saw those thanks. But can you do one on printing a design from adobe illustrator, like a 2 colors separation?
Oh for sure. Are you going to buy the super expensive printer and rip? or would you like a low cost DIY option? Actually I will put both in the video.
I have Epson 1430 printer and accuRIP software. I'm having problem with printing out 2 or 3 colors designs. Also, whenever I burn my image on the screen, the emulsion don't wash out. I don't have a pressure washer, I only have an hose, so I use that. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with the printing or burning the images on the screens.
Hi i am going through the same problem as my emulsion dont wash out after i burn my image on the screen. Have u figured it out why. it would be of help.
Can you refuse the screens without removing the design?
yea you can.
I'm really broke. Can I use a hair-dryer instead of a heat gun?
interesting, I have never tried a hair dryer, I'm not sure if they get up to curing temps, if they get to 320 degrees, it might just work.
I think 😕 I'm in love with this kid. No I AM in love w em.
how do I add multiple colors?
Search for a lineal table
Buy a screen press with multiple color capability.
is this possible with more color printing ? and how to align it 🖤 love your vids my man
