Lee - that's why they call FAIL "First Attempt In Learning". Nothing wrong with it at all . Another motto that I live by is "never stop learning". Learn something new every single day. Love your channel! Keep up the amazing work!
Dude, i cannot believe how much alike we are. Listening to you in this video, all your reactions, frustrations, all of it, even though we are years apart in age, different countries & completely different lifestyles, i was listening to me, that's how i react. It is, as i have commented on previous videos, it is your brutal honesty that i like & what keeps me wanting to watch more. Keep up the good work the tutorials & the explanations on & about any of your mistakes, thanks again brother.
Hey dude thanks for posting this. I have been watching your page for a few months now wanting to get started on screen printing so I bought my equipment and thought I was ready to rock and did three shirts and somehow had more ink on me then the shirts and it was just a mess and legit thought about selling everything. Gave it a few days went back our attention and then the shirts came out clean. Thanks for posting good content it helps a ton!
That happened to me in the beginning, and still happens the odd time trying new and more complicated stuff. It's all about pushing though the bullshit and making it work 🤘🏻
I print with only water based inks, and use the same pigments. I am no pro. but understand the frustration. Couple tips to avoid future problems. I always keep a spray bottle and mist the ink after a few prints to keep it from drying, keep the screen flooded, post expose the screen. Gets easier working with the inks, I think you are pretty much there.
Thanks man. Definitely had all the little things like that down, just the technique and a few little set up things were getting me. Now that I've had some time to calm down and practice I'm starting to figure it all out. Thanks dude 👊🏻
I'm having problems with water based ink myself. But with one color, multiple prints. I seem to usually get the first stroke pretty good but when it comes time to flooding the screen and printing another shirt right after, it seems to come out faded. And then trying to re-do it on the same shirt, it ghosts. I just need to keep practicing. Conquered Vinyl, sublimation and now gotta conquer this!
Lee, I've watched all of your videos multiple times over as I prepare to retire from the military and start my own business. I love the honesty and learning process you go through and how you take your product quality so serious. I have a ton of respect for you on those aspects. How did you decide to select Ryonet instead of any of the manufacturers? I'm closer to St. Louis where Lawson is located. Any extra advise that you haven't shared on the videos would be GREAT!
Cool to hear man, thanks. They just had the most of what I was looking for with my specific needs to get started, it made the startup process a lot easier so I could focus on learning the craft. Good luck man!
I doubt your see this but i was wondering the what the prices of the machines are (I assume others are as well) so i think you should have a video on all the machines do a small review (pros and cons) and state the price.Also do an affiliate link in the description to help people find the products and to earn you more money.📅
I 100% can relate to getting so fkn frustrated with trying to learn something and getting so pissed at it that shit starts flying across the shop..😂😂😂.. I've had to buy a new tool more than once.. since I put a heavy bag out there, I've cut down on those instances a shit ton..😂😂..
Haha man I wish I had a heavy bag down here still, it used to be right where my press is. Next shop is definitely going to have one in close range to where I work 😂
working with plastisol ink before waterbased is like trying to learn to snowboard after you've been skiing for long time. Basically it suuuuuucks and everything feels way harder than it needs to. I've been running a successful high volume waterbase print shop for almost 10 years and only use plastisol when the garment requires it. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions about waterbased ink, I might be able to point you in the right direction or help you trouble shoot these issues.
Thanks a lot dude! I really want to learn how to do both well so I can choose what's best to get the coolest end result on any particular garment, it's just going to take a ton of time and practice. Waterbased is definitely a lot more difficult though, I found out the hard way haha
awesome work man i watch all your videos right when they come up cuz i am also starting out. if you wouldnt mind can i ask if you have a go to brand and model for shirts and hoodie blanks? keep up the good work thanks
Thanks man. There's so much stuff out there I would never want to have a go-to blank, I always get as much info as I can from the client and change it up to what the job requires so they get the best possible product. That's why this shop stands out among many because there are far too many out there that are stuck in their ways and don't really care about what the customer is trying to achieve. Remember that advice and it will help you stand out too, good luck man!
What setup did you use to cure you water based prints without a forced air conveyor dryer? I have been having trouble with my Riley Hopkins 8 footer using water based ink and I would to get some insight!! Love the channel keep on kicking ass brother! Cheers!
I honestly don't do much waterbased stuff on this setup since the dryer is so small, it slows production down way too much. You can use something like green galaxy warp drive though to speed it back up, but I try to only use it for simple stuff.
New to screen printing. I started with water based inks,,,am i off base by doing that??? The only multi colored print I did was using a white under base otherwise all have been one color.
I prefer plastisol for beginners. Water based is much harder to work with on press and much harder to cure properly. With plastisol you can take your time and focus on nailing the fundamentals.
It's much softer, lighter and has a different matte finish. In the case of the shirts I was going to make, that was definitely necessary to get the look I was going for
You have to admit, those shirt printers produce a million times better prints than screen printing. Not sure what the cost would have been compared to your current manual analog setup but I have to think it might be worth it. I think there are hack DIY setups that cost about 1/10th of a commercial printer but as a business that's a tough call. The commercial printers are stupid expensive for what they are, I'm surprised the Chinese haven't produced something for a fraction of the cost, it's a pretty basic setup. Too much money in selling current gear I guess.
dope video. I'm trying to get in the screen printing business. I'm on a budget and was wondering if you know or have tried solely curing a plastisol ink shirt with a heat press.
Hey Lee love your videos this in regards to the registration problems check your mesh tension, if the mesh on your static frames drops in tension you will have whats called screen roll or screen drag. hope this helps..
Thanks. Tension was good, they were 4 brand new screens too so the tension was all within a few newtons of each other. I've narrowed it down to off contact and squeegee input now that I've practiced with some easier stuff
Man I love watching your videos... There are thousands of screen printer's on TH-cam an wile I haven't watched them all, I will say you've been my favorite one. I have learned so much from your videos, and you actually give us details and show us what we need to do... Thanks for being such a big help to my "just starting up" business
That fancy new 'puter must be pretty kickass! The edits are looking (even more) minty fresh lately. Also, no-one who has accomplished anything great was ever easy on themselves when it came to set-backs; it's a good thing to revel in that anger sometimes -- it's the fuel, among other moving parts, that will drive you to bigger and better success with your business. All the best, man.
The struggles of a beginner, I appreciate the honesty really😅👏 No matter the equipment you have to put many hours on this craft the is no other way, sometimes you feel like you fail but you're learning. Keep your shin up!
Love the transparency dude - this is what screen printing is all about! You’re my new fave print channel for sure. What hoodie blanks have you been using for your brand?
The information, editing, personality. You have by far the best printing/design videos I’ve seen. Just commenting to let you know that you’re a huge help to me and the other 47 thousand subscribers you have lol. Keep up the great work you’ve got super dope content!
Lee I like seeing videos like this, it keeps things real unlike a lot of other channels. Fail= First Attempt In Learning is how I look at it. Keep up the great work.
I've somehow never heard that acronym haha, that's perfect 👌🏻. Thanks man, I like sharing the whole story, not just the good parts. This will never be one of those channels with fake personalities and everything works out
What temp setting and belt speed do you run on your riley cure for curing water based ink recently upgraded to the riley cure but haven't run water based yet
I'm using warp drive in my ink so I don't have to have the proper cure settings. The proper cure settings would slow down production way too much on this little dryer
Great video. Yea, I'm also in the process of starting up my Print Shop. I keep making mistakes but I'm learning from them. Greetings from Mexico Amigo. 👍👍
TH-cam tutorials of how to use waterbased inks makes me say oooohhh thats easy ! But when i do it in real life i was just like : whhhhhhhaaaaaaaattttt ttthhhhhhheeeee fffffffuuuuuuccccckkkkk !!!!!! But i never quit . I do it again and again every day and it went alright.
Haha I feel the same way. It's not as easy as they try to make it seem, none of printing is really. That's why I show the mistakes in my videos, it's the reality of the game 🤘🏻
Love your videos man. Planning to start my own clothing brand and your videos have helped me tremendously, not to mention they are just well done videos as well. What kind of shirt blanks do you buy?
Yesterday I printed for the very first time I tried waterbase first, I couldnt understand what I was doing wrong as I had so much ink going through and smooshing the picture, had to walk away spoke to a new mate and he said sounds like too much ink, im like duh if im flooding and then still making sure i have extra ink on the squeegee - so happy I finally got white on black learnt that I need to pull not push seems to be my way to go - i love your videos shows me that Im not the only one learning! Great job from me is South Australia!
Damn dude... i needed a video like this to get me out of my funk with my line. Keep doing what you're doing, big motivator for little brands trying to make it big. Stoke or broke!!! 🤘
great shop, i do the same since 1990 in switzerland, but also decorating cars and signs. it changed a lot the last 20 years, we do now many things with print and cut, especially soccer shirts. we use mimaki machines. i really like your clean shop, mine is a bit messy, lol. i learned screen printing at the end of the eighties. we printed posters in 4colors by hand, big size, that was smelly like hell. lol. keep going, i like your videos.
Lol....I think you need to hang a heavy bag in a corner somewhere for the times you wish there was someone there to punch ... Or Yoga ... my really patronising friend says that works :) There's nothing like a bad fucking mood to ruin a perfectly good day
Lol....just love the honesty and realness!! And its very true you cant succed if you dont fail!! Keep grinding!! But as life goes i know i would like to laugh at your pain and watching some drop kicks and flying action would be hilarious bonus footage!! Jokes aside ...great job Lee
Enjoy watching your videos Lee. I know from your videos that you taught yourself. Would you mind sharing books or videos that you used in learning screen printing. Thanks
If everything worked right the first time, you'd be lost when things fail. You're always learning, even if you're learning how to not do something. Keep up the great work Lee!
Good day Lee Stuart I hope you have an excellent day, I would like to know if you can show us the process of (high density) garments, it would be very interesting, greetings from Veracruz-Mexico
Hey Lee love your vids bro. let me ask you a question, did you find that you print head was not locking into you registration gate? I have the same setup and I was having that problem when using the secondary off contact knob.
Thanks man. I've never had that problem yet but I've had a few small ones so far. I plan on going through each head and station with a torque wrench and making a spec sheet to keep everything precise
As I mention before, showing the darker side of the screen printing is keeping it REAL. Look at it another way; Failing is not Important, what's really important is have the initiative, determination, motivation confidence, courage and strength to try AGAIN! You're only proving "That a Winner Never Quits and a Quitter Never Wins.
Now you know you gotta finesse water base paints. But keep it up brother.. I might email ya with a couple of ideas on a T-shirt design for the trucking company I drive for, can you handle that??
failing is a stepping stone for being success...... I now doing my clothing brand.... any recommendations of tip for beginners.... Very much appreciate if u help
Yoooo my guy ! Your videos are awesome I’m loving the journey but you sound like Danny McBride 😭 if I close my eyes I see him talking ! Keeep it going bro 👍🏼 👍🏼👍🏼
I hope you're doing well! I saw your instagram post and just wanted to check in on you... and patiently waiting on the next video. I'm sure you're probably slammed.
Thanks dude. Crazy slammed right now, the shop name is spreading like wild fire and things are growing insanely fast. I'm starting to get it all back under control after a month of panicking haha
Hey Bro, love your videos! So I was wondering, where do you get your stickers made? I am making my own brand, and have been going through random people for my stickers. Any suggestions? Thanks bro
I think you should make a video on the process of making them. I am trying to make some but I don’t know how to make the die cut stickers. Just your typical vinyl stickers. But your like a celebrity honestly! I have been watching all your videos while I am deployed overseas because I am trying to start my clothing apparel company when I get back.
Hey Lee! I recently found your channel and I want to say that you are really inspiring. I watched just about all your videos about your business and I have found it really helpful. After I watched your "Crazy Home Screen Printing Setup" video I thought to myself, "Wow! This is how I want to end up with my business". I want to be successful and I believe my brand has meaning to it just like yours. I need to put in more hard work but it is also difficult as I attend school but I still manage. I currently use Heat Transfer Viynl but I would l was thinking of slowing making the transition to screen printing. If you see this comment please check out my brand's "About" page @ www.brandname.life/about . I have just recently made some prints and I also wanted to send a picture of those to your through Instagram. I hope none of this sounds weird. Anyway, keep it up bro!
Thanks man, glad to hear they help somehow. If you're thinking about getting into printing and want to take your brand more seriously, then absolutely do it.

Think you can make a video on how you got your first few clients and how to you continue to get more?
Edits are getting better and better!
Thanks dude, the new computer is helping me step up my game
Great message. Those who are truly successful fail their way to success.
Absolutely, nothing good is ever achieved without failure

Fuckin video effects are crazy man, you learning shit like this makes me even more hype for the next thirtyeight drop

Cure with a flash if you're on a budget, it'll be a much better piece of equipment to have
Hey Lee love your videos this in regards to the registration problems check your mesh tension, if the mesh on your static frames drops in tension you will have whats called screen roll or screen drag. hope this helps..

Glad to hear that man, helping and sharing my experience is always the goal 🤘🏻
May i give you an advice. Control your emotion. No shit words when failing. Focus what your doing. I know coz i been there.
How do you feel about DTG printing?
It definitely has its place. I think it's better suited to short order stuff that's only a few pieces
Lee Stuart May I ask why do you think it is better suited for small orders?
The honesty and realness keeps me coming back. 👊
Thanks a lot, glad to hear that
That fancy new 'puter must be pretty kickass! The edits are looking (even more) minty fresh lately.

I love this thing, it's opened so many doors to stepping up my game on these videos. I just need to carve out more time to learn! Thanks a lot dude 👊🏻
"Growth comes at the point of resistance." Thanks for sharing this, Lee.
The struggles of a beginner, I appreciate the honesty really😅👏
No matter the equipment you have to put many hours on this craft the is no other way, sometimes you feel like you fail but you're learning.
Keep your shin up!
Love the transparency dude - this is what screen printing is all about! You’re my new fave print channel for sure. What hoodie blanks have you been using for your brand?
Appreciate it dude 👊🏻. I either use HS or independent
Lee Stuart love the independent stuff! What’s HS? Not familiar with those
Learning to win. Such a great attitude man. Keep doing your thing, awesome stuff to watch
Thanks a lot dude 👊🏻

Truth! I needed to hear this today. Thanks man!
Glad to help somehow! 👊🏻
What's up with the lack of videos? Hope you dont disappear for a year again
Good thing I put one out today
Yo I like your work your video's really help me in what I do. Keep making great videos...
Thanks for the info , I’ve been watching and it’s help me.🤙🏽
Awesome to hear that 👊🏻
Thank you for sharing. The last bit hit home a few things for me in my current situation.
Great reminder.
Thanks again
Glad to help 👊🏻, I need to remind myself sometimes
What temp setting and belt speed do you run on your riley cure for curing water based ink recently upgraded to the riley cure but haven't run water based yet
I'm using warp drive in my ink so I don't have to have the proper cure settings. The proper cure settings would slow down production way too much on this little dryer
I appreciate your transparency. Keep at it man! Your doing great. Gonna buy an OG shirt soon, if they're not sold out! Thanks for the motivation! 👊
Thanks man! Hopefully you got one today, most of them are gone already haha
Missed the white and burgundy, ordered a black and white. Thanks for the heads up!
Failing is learning bro🙏🏾...am always inspired when i watch yur videos..bless up
Good to hear man 👊🏻
If your not failing your not trying! Keep up the good work, and keep moving forward bro! Trust the process, dont rush the process! 👌💪🤘
Hell ya man, thanks!
Great video. Yea, I'm also in the process of starting up my Print Shop. I keep making mistakes but I'm learning from them. Greetings from Mexico Amigo. 👍👍
It'll take a ton of mistakes, I still make them all the time but that's how we get better. Good luck man 🤘🏻
are you flashing the pellon sheet? sometimes they shrink under the flash especially for camo designs. I use reg tape or 3in box tape
Yup I make sure to flash those or run them through the dryer before I print just in case
TH-cam tutorials of how to use waterbased inks makes me say oooohhh thats easy !
But when i do it in real life i was just like : whhhhhhhaaaaaaaattttt ttthhhhhhheeeee fffffffuuuuuuccccckkkkk !!!!!!
But i never quit . I do it again and again every day and it went alright.
Haha I feel the same way. It's not as easy as they try to make it seem, none of printing is really. That's why I show the mistakes in my videos, it's the reality of the game 🤘🏻
Love your videos man. Planning to start my own clothing brand and your videos have helped me tremendously, not to mention they are just well done videos as well.
What kind of shirt blanks do you buy?
Awesome to hear man! I use a ton of different blanks, best to start familiarizing yourself with what's out there
hell ya learning to be a winner this dope brah killing it
Not everything can go perfect, learn along the way and your doing awesome, you've come so far
Exactly right 🙌🏻. Thanks
hey did you start off working for a shop?
Nope
Yesterday I printed for the very first time I tried waterbase first, I couldnt understand what I was doing wrong as I had so much ink going through and smooshing the picture, had to walk away spoke to a new mate and he said sounds like too much ink, im like duh if im flooding and then still making sure i have extra ink on the squeegee - so happy I finally got white on black learnt that I need to pull not push seems to be my way to go - i love your videos shows me that Im not the only one learning! Great job from me is South Australia!
For water base ink needs to be a higher mesh size like 280 to prevent to much ink on the garment. Hope it helps.
It definitely takes a different touch to use it that's for sure, I'm slowly figuring it out now. Glad to hear you got it 🤘🏻
Not sure dropkicking tripod is ideal 😅😅. Definitely a lot to learn on water based
Damn dude... i needed a video like this to get me out of my funk with my line. Keep doing what you're doing, big motivator for little brands trying to make it big. Stoke or broke!!! 🤘
Thanks a lot man, that's rad to hear 👊🏻
great shop, i do the same since 1990 in switzerland, but also decorating cars and signs. it changed a lot the last 20 years, we do now many things with print and cut, especially soccer shirts. we use mimaki machines. i really like your clean shop, mine is a bit messy, lol. i learned screen printing at the end of the eighties. we printed posters in 4colors by hand, big size, that was smelly like hell. lol. keep going, i like your videos.
Thanks man. I plan on adding a print/cut in here at some point this year
Lol....I think you need to hang a heavy bag in a corner somewhere for the times you wish there was someone there to punch ...
Or Yoga ... my really patronising friend says that works :)
There's nothing like a bad fucking mood to ruin a perfectly good day
Haha I should probably give yoga a shot
Lol....just love the honesty and realness!! And its very true you cant succed if you dont fail!! Keep grinding!! But as life goes i know i would like to laugh at your pain and watching some drop kicks and flying action would be hilarious bonus footage!! Jokes aside ...great job Lee
Haha man that footage had to go, the only one I wish I had recorded was the drop kick. But thanks dude, we keep it real around here and always will 👊🏻
I've been there before, tryng to dial in exposing time for emulsion... shaaat!
Haha yup I had those same problems in the beginning, it took me probably 15-20 shitty screens to start figuring it out
Did you purposely have that sick motion graphics at 0:38 ?? #thatsprettyfreakybowie #thirtyeightseconds
There are now 2 people smart enough to notice that little gem I hid in there 😎
Enjoy watching your videos Lee. I know from your videos that you taught yourself. Would you mind sharing books or videos that you used in learning screen printing. Thanks
If everything worked right the first time, you'd be lost when things fail. You're always learning, even if you're learning how to not do something.
Keep up the great work Lee!
You got that right! Thanks 👊🏻
Can you make a video on how to mix the paint and also tutorial
Need to grab your PO BOX for the shirt bud, hoping to have it in the mail back end of next week once i have cleared out my orders.
Inkmixology Tip #1: Once you go black, you never go back.

Awesome message i took away from this video! Great content as always lee! Editing was on point. As always lol
Thanks dude, glad to hear 👊🏻
One Cool Ahh Dude Respect 💯💯
Good day Lee Stuart I hope you have an excellent day, I would like to know if you can show us the process of (high density) garments, it would be very interesting, greetings from Veracruz-Mexico
I've actually never done high density before, but it's something I should probably try!
Hey Lee love your vids bro. let me ask you a question, did you find that you print head was not locking into you registration gate? I have the same setup and I was having that problem when using the secondary off contact knob.
Thanks man. I've never had that problem yet but I've had a few small ones so far. I plan on going through each head and station with a torque wrench and making a spec sheet to keep everything precise
As I mention before, showing the darker side of the screen printing is keeping it REAL. Look at it another way; Failing is not Important, what's really important is have the initiative, determination, motivation confidence, courage and strength to try AGAIN!
You're only proving "That a Winner Never Quits and a Quitter Never Wins.
Absolutely man, you nailed it 👊🏻
Hi! I'm one of the inspired supporter in your channel. I always inspire to all of your printing videos bro.
Lee can you make more Dyna videos
Would love to help you out with any questions. Been printing for 10 years now. Was working for big companies until I stared my own.
Now you know you gotta finesse water base paints. But keep it up brother..
I might email ya with a couple of ideas on a T-shirt design for the trucking company I drive for, can you handle that??
😂😂 The Intro
Hallo, guy. I am from Ukraine, and I make the same job like you.
The title of this video says it all...
Bruh..the mudslide comment ..😂😂
Hahaha it just came to me
always do research before you start something new
Welcome to the wonderful world of water based ink!
failing is a stepping stone for being success...... I now doing my clothing brand.... any recommendations of tip for beginners.... Very much appreciate if u help
Absolutely it is. I think the biggest tip is right here in this video 👌🏻
Yoooo my guy ! Your videos are awesome I’m loving the journey but you sound like Danny McBride 😭 if I close my eyes I see him talking ! Keeep it going bro 👍🏼 👍🏼👍🏼
That pumps me up so much 😂😂😂. He's the fucking greatest
I hope you're doing well! I saw your instagram post and just wanted to check in on you... and patiently waiting on the next video. I'm sure you're probably slammed.
Thanks dude. Crazy slammed right now, the shop name is spreading like wild fire and things are growing insanely fast. I'm starting to get it all back under control after a month of panicking haha
you don't learn how to adapt or the results of actions if things work out.
you learn more from failures - not from things going as planned
Exactly 🙌🏻
Hey Bro, love your videos!
So I was wondering, where do you get your stickers made? I am making my own brand, and have been going through random people for my stickers. Any suggestions? Thanks bro
Thanks man. I make my own for the most part, the only ones I'm not making are the small slap stickers. I have a friend that does those for me
Oh ok.
But I’m just talking about the die cut ones you have, not the simple ones.
I can’t believe I’m getting to talk to you, so crazy :)
Haha I'm just a normal guy. The die cut ones I make myself here on my vinyl cutter
I think you should make a video on the process of making them. I am trying to make some but I don’t know how to make the die cut stickers. Just your typical vinyl stickers.
But your like a celebrity honestly! I have been watching all your videos while I am deployed overseas because I am trying to start my clothing apparel company when I get back.
I second the video on making those stickers! Would love to see that.
👍
What video editor are you using?
Final Cut Pro and adobe after effects
@@leestuart38 you made your intro using Final Cut Pro?
After effects
You are still our hero!!!
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Hey Lee! I recently found your channel and I want to say that you are really inspiring. I watched just about all your videos about your business and I have found it really helpful. After I watched your "Crazy Home Screen Printing Setup" video I thought to myself, "Wow! This is how I want to end up with my business". I want to be successful and I believe my brand has meaning to it just like yours. I need to put in more hard work but it is also difficult as I attend school but I still manage. I currently use Heat Transfer Viynl but I would l was thinking of slowing making the transition to screen printing. If you see this comment please check out my brand's "About" page @ www.brandname.life/about . I have just recently made some prints and I also wanted to send a picture of those to your through Instagram. I hope none of this sounds weird. Anyway, keep it up bro!
Thanks man, glad to hear they help somehow. If you're thinking about getting into printing and want to take your brand more seriously, then absolutely do it.
Water based inks dry faster on the screen than plastisol and other inks. Makes the design a mess
3rd!
