- Utilizing my press for more than what I've been using it for. First time using 5 screens for one job, let's see how this goes.

im starting on the 250 as well. great choice
You crushed that print job! Looks so good 🔥
im learning how to do this with the same press. thanks for the video
I like print videos that are real. Thanks for this.
This is really good dawg
Keep pushing 👑
as some who works as a manual printer in a wholesale pressing facility no matter how good those micro adjustment are you will always still be tapping and hitting your screens to get alignment lol. great print just found this channel.
Mannnnnnn I'm learning that 😂😂😂
So are the micro adjustments even necessary?
@@RnG_Ry I mean micro adjustment have never been technically necessary, you can line it all up by hand. a lot of old machine don't have them, but they do help a lot. but things get loose and parts shift so you can have those micros nailed but from one print to another things can get out of alignment. so you will still always be tapping your screen. my personal machine doesn't have micros so I have to do it by hand. that's also one reason I don't do super high detailed print on my personnel machine.
Can't lie this is awesome well done mate I'm trying to learn this stuff.
Bro hell ya
Nice job for sure 🔥🔥 if you don’t mind me asking how much do you charge for something like that?
What’s is that black cloth or square you’re printing on called or where to find it
That is a test pellons
Hey, just found your channel and I’m relatively new to screen printing. For the black locking clamps on the head that rotate left and right. How do I know when I’ve locked and unlocked it? I have no way of telling when I did it right
Are you referring to the clamps that hold the screen in place?
@@JeromeKnowsNothing yes, not the ones that are circular unscrew. The ones with the handle in the middle of the head
@@calebsmith7579 I just twist til the screen is completely locked in place
Great video! Can i ask what kind of tshirts are you using for this? Very nice dye/wash going on there!
These were Colortone acid wash tees
@@JeromeKnowsNothing Thanks Jerome!! :D
if you are pushing..push on all the screens. cant do push and pull....but yeah i think u know that.
good job . alohass
Great video! Question: Before you purchased the Riley Hopkins 250 did you have any screen printing experience? I am looking into purchasing one, but have no experience whatsoever. Also, after the press is there any other step to do or is it done right then?
I have a Magnum press I got from ebay that I started with....I don't recommend it. I would definitely buy the Riley, it's good quality.
I'm not clear on your question regarding other steps after buying the press
@@JeromeKnowsNothing Got it. Do you think starting with this machine will be good or shall I start with a cheaper one? Like I said, I don't have experience haha. And my other question was, after you do the screen print, do you have to run the shirt through another machine for it to dry or just make the print last longer?
@@alexsantana7993 I say buy best now so you don't have to lose money trying to learn. I ruined alot of shirts with the cheaper press because it wasn't accurate and it was very faulty.
As far as drying....you can use a heat gun, they sell those at almost all hardware stores. It's the cheaper route, but also takes longer to cure your shirts that way. Next best inexpensive option is a flash dryer
@@JeromeKnowsNothing Thank you for your advice. I am definitely wanting to get into screen printing as I also am starting a clothing line.
How is business going for you now a days using the 250?
@@alexsantana7993 alot smoother than when I used the magnum press 😂. The 250 is really good quality. I've had no problems out of it
Where do you get your pantone guide at?
I use the phone app
Yu can extract colors to find the Pantone number
@@JeromeKnowsNothing there are a lot of apps. which one do you use?
@@RobGraham048 I was using the official one from Pantone but now they are charging for usage
