Thank you for taking the time to make these videos this has been very helpful for me I’m just starting at home using speedball ink and Iv had trouble but you’re videos have given me alot of help
sharper side is for higher mesh counts and the blunt edge is for lower. i teach my students 170+ mesh counts = sharp side. 160 < = blunt edge. good video 👍🏽
@@startupscreenprinting oh and totally agree with not having to have a “light safe” dark room… been doing this for close to 20 years and i’m barely building out an official dark room 🤣😂😆. so many things in screen printing you can do without to start off!
Yup that's correct! That's why I angle the coater back a little with the thick side so that I essentially get the same thickness that the thin side would give me since I can't use my thin side due to the blemish in the aluminum.

@@rodspack Love it! I found out very quickly that there aren't as many "rules" in screen printing as people think there are haha.
STILL WACTHING COOL CHANNEL. HOPE SUCCESS AND MORE.
Thanks!
Thin side applies less emulsion, so thick side of the scoop coater will create a thicker build up and create more ink to lay down on the apparel.

@@startupscreenprinting yeah, I dropped mine too... But I managed to straighten it out and smooth the gouge with some 500 grit sandpaper
