I would love to some day try screen printing but the money just isn't there ! I think iv watched almost all of your videos on youtube and quite a few on the Ryonet site and thoroughly enjoy learning what you guys do ! I thought it would be cool to get into it and maybe start a lil business to take shirts to Flea markets and such lol ! keep up the great videos and I will keep learning and watching thanks !
I am a newbie to screen printing and trying to get it all straight in my head. Are the inks different for CMYK "wet" printing? The wet ink from the prior passes surely would stick to the underside of the screen. How does this residue not effect the image? What software(s) are used for making the positives for burning to the screens. Is it a high mesh count on the screens?......SOOO many questions, the more I learn the bigger the list of questions I assemble!
Hey there! CMYK inks are actually made differently so you can print them wet on wet. CMYK inks are a little thinner and more transparent so they can be printed wet on wet, and the colors will blend appropriately to create the range of colors. You can find our CMYK inks here, both plastisol and water based: www.screenprinting.com/search?keywords=cmyk%20ink We suggest using AccuRIP for making your film positives. It is a RIP format software that also allows you to run an all black ink system, giving you the best and most opaque film positives. You can find our AccuRIP and Epson 1430 package here: www.screenprinting.com/blackmax-1430-film-output-printer-and-separation-system If you're doing CMYK prints, then you'll definitely want a higher mesh count to make sure you can get your halftones printed properly. It's natural to have questions at the beginning. Even experts still have questions! If you ever have more questions or need any help, feel free to email us at success@ryonet.com, or give us a call at 800-314-6390. We're always happy to help. :)
Hey Rafael, happy Tuesday! You don't need to use process inks unless you are using that style of printing. consider what kind of substrate and how you want the print to look in the end, then research and choose the type of ink you want to use. hope that helps. Happy printing!
+Ryonet - One quick question; I have y'all's classic 1 color press screen printer. Can I always switch our screens between colors in order to get a multi color job done ?
Does this press have that slight "rocking" play that the silver press has? It feels kind of like the whole center assembly is balancing on the center hub, not just rotating on it...
Ryan, to get a 4 color process print like (which looks so cool) that do you need accurip software? Is it the same process that you do for the last print in the video "art preparation" for the moon graphic?
Hey Jason. The video that you are referring to is the manual way to print the CMYK separation. IF you have Accurip, you will not need to do this. You will just need to import the file in Illustrator/photoshop, make sure that your color profiles for the ink you are using is uploaded, and print using Accurip from there. Here's a video that we have on this: th-cam.com/video/_XNg9DV53ek/w-d-xo.html
It's not! It's similar in style but we've made some upgrades on the 250! Check it out here...www.screenprinting.com/products/riley-hopkins-250-printing-press-with-xy-micro-registration?variant=40825110167663
Hi, Could you confirm the colours you are using are cyan, magenta, yellow and black? the magenta looks super red so I'm cautious of ordering wrong colours for Cmyk , maybe you could recommend the ink you used, ? super video as well , much appreciated
+Sheena Campbell You got it right! Those are the colors we used. Check out our magenta ink here: www.screenprinting.com/ic-743-cmyk-pro-brite-magenta-ink-quart
HI! Unfortunately, that question is very difficult to answer accurately. Your shop conditions of how dry / how humid, mesh counts, type of WB ink etc impact evaporation time. In general the answer is between 5 and 20 minutes depending any many contributing factors.
Painting With Magic The JR isn't as good as the WIN, thats why its the JR, but it is EXTREMELY stout, much stronger than ANY other press in its price range. I've sat on it and at 150 lbs the platen barely deflects. :) Ryan
Absolutely flex! You can hold some pretty large platens on that press but you'll be limited by the size of screen you can hold. We do not recommend larger than a 23x31" on this press.
Do you deliver here in Cebu city, Philippines? or do you have distributor here? Thanks a lot your videos really helped me start my small printing business. God bless you.
There is no limit to the lifespan of mesh barring holes, damage, loss of tension*. *At a certain point, all screens lose enough tension to make printing accurately difficult. In the beginning, the screen is like a tight drum. When it's time to replace, the screen will be sticking to the print, and it'll be loose like a trampoline. (Also, you can get a tension meter to check when it's time to replace it.)
It's a Riley Hopkins JR. 4x2. You can buy it here: www.screenprinting.com/collections/riley-hopkins-press-jr/products/riley-hopkins-jr-screen-printing-press-4-color-2-station
Software aimed a smaller commercial markets is typically going to be much more than consumer products. Some architecture software can run up to $10,000 per year, per computer. That said, I suspect there is an open source option for this single task.
happy Friday! what kind of press? are you upgrading a Riley Hopkins press? We may have an option depending on what you are trying to do. Give us a shout at 800-314-6390. Happy printing!
djpaulywood jr's only come with a maximum of 2 platen arms, if 4 arms is what you wanted please consider our WIN series presses www.screenprinting.com/riley-hopkins-win-series-press-w-joystick-registration-4-color-4-station

+sergio hidrogo thank you for asking!This press cannot have additional arms added, so you will want to consider how many arms you believe you will need 1-2 years after you begin. Starting with at least 2 stations is always advantageous, no matter your level :)
Found this, we have some other ones, just search "photoshop" on our channel and should pop up that way too Screen Printing Four Color Process Separation in Photoshop
+joe shmo For this demonstration we were using plastisol. Water based inks must be flooded in the screen between prints so that it doesn't dry. Thanks for watching!
i just other a few Waterbased inks from you guy :D i love the quality and colors, but yes i will save up to buy one of ur screen presses they just look so good and well made.
+dj Taz Here is a link to the Riley 4 color 2 station press: www.screenprinting.com/riley-hopkins-jr-screen-printing-press-4-color-2-station#.VlScxxNVhBd Thanks for watching!
The order mainly depends on the design you're printing. Like you say, CMYK is the classic order, but varying this can provide different affects, same as if you change your squeegee angle or pressure :)
Push stroking allows consistent printing for the bulk of jobs while pulling still provides superior ink deposit control. A pro knows when and how to use both efficiently :)
Remember viewers don't attempt this at home, when your your registering your screens 2 - 6 colour design never leave your squeegee on the screen with dye? messy + headaches.. only the black screen, Because the Black artwork is the screen that holds most of the details. print your black only,........Only!....first, then dry the black print, then register every other colour from that black print. You don't have to have dyes on the other screens, until you are happy with the registration, then load the dye and print, starting from light colours to Black. you need to be informative about what you teach.
hi @Nga Vaka! hope you are well. Black will not always hold all the data. Especially with CMYK images like what's happening in this video. With the exception of the yellow, the other two colors in a CMYK image may have more concentrated data and therefor would have more to set up the other screens to. No need to be so rigid, there's always new things to learn. Also, once you add inks, you may need to still micro register regardless of how dialed in your initial registration was.... and guess what, there's ink in the screens at that point...
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ALL THESE YEARS RYAN.
I know nothing about this but willing to learn from the expertise..hopefully to keep me and family going to start a small biz...
Good luck friend! Let us know if we can do anything to help along your journey :)
I have had pretty good success printing CMYK but its been a while thanks to the digital age what angles an frequencies do you use.Thanks

Great video teaching CMYK printing!
Ryan question, why did you not keep the screen flooded between each print. wouldn't the ink dry out in the screen?
Jake Herron if its plastisol then its OK, water based must be kept flooded
When you are producing printed T-shirts, you MUST use Process inks.
Hey Rafael, happy Tuesday! You don't need to use process inks unless you are using that style of printing. consider what kind of substrate and how you want the print to look in the end, then research and choose the type of ink you want to use. hope that helps. Happy printing!
+Ryonet - One quick question; I have y'all's classic 1 color press screen printer. Can I always switch our screens between colors in order to get a multi color job done ?
I meant to say *OUT instead of "our"
Vato Alfred You can definitely try, but it's not recommended.
Hello,is the efficiention printings depen on the machine or dyestuff?
Does this press have that slight "rocking" play that the silver press has? It feels kind of like the whole center assembly is balancing on the center hub, not just rotating on it...
bradymiguel This press has a 2" shaft where the silver press had a 1" shaft, it is MUCH much more stable. Ryan
Very safe units to use.
very good printing
Awesome video Ryan!

How much time do you have before ink starts to dry in the design with waterbased?
HI! Unfortunately, that question is very difficult to answer accurately. Your shop conditions of how dry / how humid, mesh counts, type of WB ink etc impact evaporation time.
In general the answer is between 5 and 20 minutes depending any many contributing factors.
@@Ryonet thank you! I will move swiftly
Which program do you use for CMYK separation, what angles and dot size? Thanks, nice video.
Here is a great video to help get you going :)
th-cam.com/video/_XNg9DV53ek/w-d-xo.html
How did you do that? Thats amaing!
So the JR is just as good as the WIN series? what would you recommend the JR or a Ranar Vista press?
Painting With Magic The JR isn't as good as the WIN, thats why its the JR, but it is EXTREMELY stout, much stronger than ANY other press in its price range. I've sat on it and at 150 lbs the platen barely deflects. :) Ryan
Ryonet
looks very solid!! I guess what I mean is it Riley Hopkins tough does it hold up to the Riley Hopkins name? but looks very good!
Ryonet
Will the 6/4 JR go in a 83 - 85 inch space?
Can I use a 18"x 20" on the Riley Hopkins JR. 4 Color 1 Station Press and is it a good to use 18"x 20" on it?
Thanks

When the screen printing mesh have to replace? Can I use continuously until the count of 1000??
There is no limit to the lifespan of mesh barring holes, damage, loss of tension*.

+Charles Wire We recommend Separation Studio www.screenprinting.com/ryonet-spot-process-separation-studio-software-kit

Yea no prob. I learned alot, Lol Really educational.

why YMCB and not CMYK....
The order mainly depends on the design you're printing. Like you say, CMYK is the classic order, but varying this can provide different affects, same as if you change your squeegee angle or pressure :)

pros never print a push stroke. really?
Push stroking allows consistent printing for the bulk of jobs while pulling still provides superior ink deposit control. A pro knows when and how to use both efficiently :)

hi @Nga Vaka! hope you are well. Black will not always hold all the data. Especially with CMYK images like what's happening in this video. With the exception of the yellow, the other two colors in a CMYK image may have more concentrated data and therefor would have more to set up the other screens to. No need to be so rigid, there's always new things to learn. Also, once you add inks, you may need to still micro register regardless of how dialed in your initial registration was.... and guess what, there's ink in the screens at that point...
