"The Process" - How to screen print a 3 color/1 location design

- We blend the daily activity of our print shop, into the visual process of creating and printing a 3 color/1 location design.
The video opens with a glimpse into what the final print will look like. Then we jump into "The Process" of creating the films from our print-ready artwork, exposing and washing out the screens, registering the job on press and finally back to our finished print! All while being taken on a quick journey around Four Ambition.
Enjoy!

First video I’ve ever seen where someone breaks down the separation colors on film. Nice work. This’ll be hugely beneficial to tons of beginners. Wish I’d have seen this a year ago
Nice video. Most people don't know how much goes into the process. Cool shop too. Thanks.
So great to see how much you enjoy the process :) and thanks for sharing - never thought it is that much complicated!
I knew hand pulling shirts was work but damn! Thanks for showing the whole process. So good for a newbie like me. And that dog. Love it.
Very cool video. Looks like a nice shop. People always ask me about working with unexposed screens in light. I try to explain that we use yellow safe lights as a precaution but most emulsions are only sensitive to UV light. Therefore you can actually do what you did here without much of a problem most of the time. Come get some Catspit~!
I really enjoyed this video... Seemed very natural AND full of visual information. Thanks!!
Loved the image of you guys at the end...Hugs!
Awesome video. Looks like the place where I worked doing printing. It is hard but fun to do. I like the way you can set the ink for the next print.
Thank you very much for posting this video! This video is definitely going to be on my favourites for a long time to come. As a newbie to the art of screen printing I find myself digging deeper and deeper into this world. Each layer presenting its own layer of pitfalls and satisfaction. Lots and lots of trial and error (and tears...shhhh) so its really helpful to see that as long as i keep trying it will work out. thanks again.
thank you very much. I like you placement process with using the transparentcy as the registration
Fantástico video un abrazo desde España Málaga el guru de la serigrafia
awesome video, the puppers doggo was the icing on the cake!
Enjoyed the video, really helps. also enjoyed the music..lol I hate when people put music but yours was relaxing and enjoyable actually.
Great video. What is the sheet to use after you wash out the design? Is it a towel to get most the water off before it goes in front of the box fans?
This is awesome and very helpful tips. Thank you 🤩
Great video, guys! Thanks for making it.
How are you able to handle the unexposed screens in daylight before the image is exposed?
never had an issue with unexposed screens being in flourescent lighting for a few minutes. If its actual sunlight, that would be an issue but it would take roughly 10 minutes of flourescent light to start being an issue. Been doing it this way for 15 years and never have an issue
I always thought that having a photo-emulsion coated screen exposed for a few min in fluorescent light would not be enough to expose the emulsion--but never brave enough to test the idea! Maybe I will try this!
Is it a dual cure emulsion, what brand? I have some photopolymer emulsion that exposes in like 45 seconds but man it seems if it touches any light whatsoever it's ruined. My dual cure is really forgiving but annoying because of the 4 minute expose time.
Nice information
Hello, I would like to know what is the printer that they use and what kind of ink to ink the image, thanks
Has anyone told you not to push your squeegee? They are meant to be dragged- like a paint brush. The only time they should be pushed is to release the colour build-up from the forward edge of the squeegee.
What was that piece of fabric that you put on and then pulled off the screen after washing out the emuslison?
was just to use to help soak up water after washing out. Any kind of paper does the same thing. We just been using test print sheets cause they dry and can use over and over.
Thanks for the suggestion, never thought to try something like that.
Y shirt print me kon compny ka colour use hota h
nice work...please let me know the type of paint that you used...
What is that sheet that you are using after you rinse the screen
Donald Johnson they answer this below. I had same ?
wondering the same thing…
just a sheet of paper to soak up excess water on the screen :)
Love your work shop and environment. You were able to say a lot without speaking a word. Thank you for sharing. Wondering, what type of transparency were you using or was that vellum?
I use BAB'S Waterproof Inkjet Positive Film 13" x 19" (100 Sheets) which you can buy on Amazon. Not sure what's being used in the video but this works great for my setup at home.
Nice... Which transparent sheet u use for printing the design...
I work on my unexposed screen in a dark room using a yellow bulb.. didnt know exposing to a flourescent isn 't an issue..
what seperation software do you use
Do you sell Screen if someone wants to do the print themselves?
Nice.What mesh count did you use?
No underbase?
nyablon klw udah profesi mah enak bgt... 🤣🤣
You've been rocking the wood frames forever...can I ask why? No interest in aluminum frames?
Also, one screen was blue emulsion...we're you using wb and plastisol?
Nice video!!!
We have several aluminum frames as well. Especially with the 23x31 frames. The smaller ones, we never have much issue with warping and they are less expensive. We usually just have them remeshed.
also it was the same emulsion, plastisol emulsion but when on yellow mesh screen, it looks green.
Haha I'm an idiot lol. Was 1/2 asleep :)
Not sure where you are but I'm in jersey if you need remeshing. 🤘🏻
Love the vastex gear!!!
Where are the registration marks ?
