    Here is a basic educational screen-printing video featuring the HIX Premier 4 color 2 station tabletop rotary press. I created a couple of simple 1 color screen print designs for black and white ink. This video is about the artwork I made for white plastisol ink. Of course, you could use water-based ink as well. Either way sometimes the design makes the print. Follow along as I make the screen, set up on press, and print a couple of tee shirts. Do you have a lot of humidity in your screenprinting shop? Does your film stick to the emulsion? See how I take the film off the screen in that case. Pay attention and you are likely to learn something in this tutorial screenprinting video. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

    I recently got an older 4x4 Workhorse Mach press of FB marketplace for a steal but have been having trouble printing on it. I was originally printing on the floor using no off-contact and stuck to using a 6" squeegee regardless of the design size (it was way easier to use and control the ink). Now when I use the press with proper off-contact and try to use a squeegee that is a smaller size than the design I see noticeable lines in the print. I went out and bought the proper squeegee lengths for my designs but now I have run into more problems: I am using white water based ink (Green Galaxy Cosmic White) on black 100% cotton shirts. My design is VERY large block text (2 lines of tall text), it takes up almost all the space on the 20"x24" screen. I only have an inch and a half extra room on both sides of the design and two inches on top and bottom. I am having trouble with ink control. I am using an old mixer to mix my ink for a few minutes in the tub before I put it on my screen but the ink is still not that easy to use. It is sticking all over the place and bunching up. It is hard to get a consistent flood, half the design gets no ink while the other half does. When I stroke (forward or backward) I see there are different levels of ink deposit from a single stroke. I go back over it to try and fix it and it just gets worse and worse until the image kind of bleeds out. It's been really annoying and I'm not sure how to really deal with this. Obviously I am still a beginner printer but I'm not sure how else to work this problem out besides practicing. I am hoping you will have some advice on maybe something I am missing? What screen mesh and squeegee durometer would you recommend? Should I try additives? I live in Florida and print in my garage so it is very hot and humid, is this also affecting it to a noticeable degree?

      I want to add that I was able to successfully print the same design on a much smaller scale, like an 8in wide graphic and it came out perfect! It's just the large version which I am struggling with and I only care about printing it as large as possible. I also have a halftone design I want to print on a 305 mesh 25inx36in screen but will most likely stick to printing black water based ink on an ivory shirt lol

      It's very hard to say without being there to see exactly what you are doing. But I would say be sure to use a squeegee big enough for the design. Also if you are maxing out this big version so it is coming very close to the frame edge, that could be the issue. The small design you said you printed fine. The larger one is giving you problems. I would guess it's too big for the screen. You need to keep the design at least 2 inches away from the frame edge. The screen will naturally print more in in the center and much less ink near the frame edge. However, like i said I am only guessing blind from afar. Pay attention to my comments about the art and mesh count in this video. That might help you with choosing mesh counts. I also have a few videos on that you can watch. Thanks for watching!

    I got a beginner question. How did you get the screen to line up perfectly for the second pull on the black shirt?

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  7 месяцев назад +1

      The shirt is fixed on the pallet with a spray adhesive. It stays put on the pallet no matter how many times I lift the screen. Also the press is top notch 😉 Thanks for watching! Screen printing equipment and supplies. CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

    Do you prefer side or back clamps?

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  11 месяцев назад

      I prefer rear clamp presses but I have to admit the AWT Rototex is awesome and that one is a side clamp. I can work with both easily. Thanks for watching! Screen printing equipment and supplies. CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
