I enjoy watching your videos and advice. I'm thinking of buying a handmade screen printing (manual) board which I saw at a secondhand shop today. I loved it when we did screen printing at school (about 35 yrs ago) I'd enjoy doing it again and I'd have fun with my sons while we all give it a go!

@Toche Hey that’s great. Paper stencils have been used for names and numbers for many years. You can actually buy the paper number stencils form vendors like Ryonet. But a plotter set up is great. Thanks for sharing… Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
@TrollLovesCoffee Thank you! Glad you liked the video. It was an experiment for me as well. I knew what should happen but not exactly what to expect. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
I am glad I checked this out before going to the store. Started screen printing a few months ago to save money for my husbands band. couldn't get a new screen for my 2nd run of shirts, last min big show, need shirts and I reclaimed my first one too many times learning the don'ts :). I fashioned a DIY out of old curtains, works alright, could b tighter though. The emulsion drying time kills me when short of time (and I am!). I had 2 different ones I wanted, now I can do 'em tonight. Thanks
@twocanplayatthat Cool deal! I’m so happy you enjoyed this one. It’s my pleasure and I appreciate your continued support. Yea, you can use lace, leaves, patterns and other found objects as well. Experiment and have some fun. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@JoshsChanneI Nice, I will be doing another paper stencil video where we will print something on computer paper and cut it bay hand. Stay tuned. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
No, this is just a simple home method to screen print at a low cost. For commercial screen printing we use photographic emulsions and film positives. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@x3mhook Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Yea, you totally could use the thicker stencil to make “high density” prints. I’m happy to hear the spray tack tip helped you out. A tight screen will definitely help you out. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
Thanks a lot! You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure to help out and share information. Check out the Catspit website too! Lots of good stuff there for you as well. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
@fitter108 Thanks! I doubt I would do such a video unless I had a job for something like that. Most metals can be printed with an air dry enamel or a heat baked one. And it would be very similar to the video I did on printing corrugated plastic signs. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
@jlambert1284 Thanks much! I appreciate your sentiments here. I had a lot of fun doing this video and I will do another paper stencil video soon. You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure to help out in any way. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
I think you are talking about four color process or “CMYK.” That can be difficult to do when first starting out and manual printing makes it even more challenging. I would start with spot color designs to get the feel of it and then move to process work. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
You're very welcome. Most paper stencils can only be applied to the screen once. An iron will not cure plastisol inks but it will work for some water based inks. You can iron the ink with a Teflon sheet or piece of craft paper between the iron and the ink. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

@danibaillargeon Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. I used the Ryonet CCI Premium Mist adhesive for this.

@Ben Perez - Thank you!! I may do some more with this in the future. Please subscribe and stay tuned ;) Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate your support!
omg u did perfect timing, cuzbyesterday my brother asked me to help him to do some tshirts but we r tight on the money but defently gonna buy the screens and Im going to do stencils and I needed a video like this. thank you very much!
@boombust9000 Thank you very much! Yes, I will eventually. I’m not sure when I will get around to it but I can promise you a lot more great screen printing videos between now and then... LOL. I appreciate your support! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Have you heard of the Yudu Personal Screen Printer? What are your thoughts? What if I did a modified version and used emulsion or vinyl instead of their blue sheets? Thanks!
I use pre-stretched screens with polyester mesh made for screen printing. You can buy one like the one I used in the video for less than $25. See my Print Supplies page for the vendor Saati and use my code for 5% off list pricing with no tax, free shipping on any size order. Links are on the channel page. Plastisol ink pricing varies greatly by quantity, brand, type and colors. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
Thanks! I suppose if it will print well then why not? I would use a thinner stencil for that if you're using paper. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
You’re welcome. As for the first question laying down a thick ink layer at once and trying to cure it will be more difficult than using the hit flash hit method. The hit flash hit method would produce a better looking high density print using a screen with an emulsion stencil. It would have sharper edges and be able to be cure thoroughly. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Glad you enjoyed the video. You can use pretty much anything that will print through the mesh. Experiment and discover the versatility of screen printing ;) Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Yes I think I have 2 videos that may help you a little bit but most of my videos are about textiles. Check out my uploads for “sign” printing and “posterization” print. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
You’ll need inks, a screen, a squeegee, a way to print perhaps hinge clamps or you could wing it on a table top. I would try to use water based inks for lower costs but they’re harder to print with. The hobby store is probably a good place if you're trying not to spend any money. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
In this video I did not cut any stencils. These were all fount objects and pieces of precut papers. I do have a video on hand cutting paper stencils and printing with them. Search “hand cut paper stencils” on my video upload list on my RUclips channel page. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Is there a video of how to do a print screen on a poster? I`m investigating Roy Lichtenstein artwork for my art class so I need a source to make the basic screen print from an artist.
There used to be Rubylith and Amberlith but I am not sure if that stuff is made anymore. Not sure if I spelled those right... LOL. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Yup, there’s a review article on my website about it. Check out the Article Archive page. Links are on the RUclips channel page. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
The screen can be reused over and over many times. But the paper stencil is usually good for one session only. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

Great video Could you do a video on screenprint a metal painted surface or just a hard surface. Like a instructions for a device and graphic names. types of ink also Darrell
No, you don’t have to. The ink will hold things in place but you have to lay them down on the substrate then ink it up. The stencil should stay put. Or you could ink the bare screen and then stick the paper stencil to it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! www.catspitproductionsllc.com/ - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

Do you have to use spray tack to tack the stencil to the screen or can you just place them on the shirt where you want it to be and ink them?
No, you don’t have to. The ink will hold things in place but you have to lay them down on the substrate then ink it up. The stencil should stay put. Or you could ink the bare screen and then stick the paper stencil to it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! www.catspitproductionsllc.com/ - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

I make all my shirts. No shirts were harmed in the making of this video. I don't sell any either. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
