How to Screen Print with the xTool Screen Printer Accessory
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2024
- xTool has released a new accessory that works seamlessly with their fleet of lasers that makes all the timesinks of screen printing disappear! xTool did provide me with the screen printer accessory used in the video; however they did NOT pay me for the video's content. All opinions expressed are honest and my own.
You can take advantage of their Easter Sale (starting March 27th and running until April 5th) to pick up the accessory OR a bundle with a compatible laser!

I sold my old screen printing table and only love and use this xtool set. I make new screens with stainless steel mesh from the hardware store.
Would love to know your process for new screens
How do you do that?
Well now I need a laser and the screen printer accessory. ❤
You have to flood the screen with ink to cover the design with the squeegee before pushing the ink down tru the screen. Watch other screen printers how they do it. You don’t need to do multiple pass with the squeegee
Oh thank you!
"I love it, let's screenprint everything!" Sounds like me when I find a great bag pattern. I want to make it in every fabric I own! lol! Great video! :)
Awesome, yessss
That looks so awesome, I didn't realize that was how screening was done.
I had a vague idea of how it was done - enough that I knew it would be a hobby that I'd lose interest in fast.
The same screws don't work with the screen mount I noticed. Not sure if it's just my copy but I had to use the longer screws the screen printer came with.
I asked Xtool about reusing screens. The reply was, "We would like to recommend that you avoid applying the photosensitive glue yourself and instead use the net that we sell. This will ensure optimal results and minimize any potential risks." Please link documentation and/or video demos. Thank you.
They're going to say something like that for liability reasons. If you reuse the screens and it harms the machine or doesn't come out the way you'd like then they want to make sure they aren't held liable for it.
Here's one video showing the technique: ruclips.net/video/g1rhDGGzzrY/видео.html
Thanks for this review! It was super helpful but could I get some suggestions? I have the 5W machine,
I ran my design using the following settings:
Power :90
Speed :50
Lines per inch: 200
I have a lot of fine details and halftone accents that didn’t engrave through! What setting would you suggest for this? 😮
Is the image you're trying to engrave a bitmap by chance?
Ah yes 😬
Hi, it's a piece of art! Love it. Couple of questions, if don't mind) What type of paint do you use? How is paint resistant to the water and laundry process? Thanks
The paint in this video came with the screen printer accessory kit. It's the water-based xTool paint specifically made for screen printing. SO FAR things have held up in the wash. This shirt I gave to my husband and we've run it through a few times now. It's holding up quite nicely! Ask me in a few months though...
@@fiercekittenz thank you for prom response! One quick question please. How do you care for your screen after applying paint. Is the rinse enough or any chemicals can clean it afterwards? Thanks.
@@Redleafs2022 All I did was wash them right after I was done with them. If any paint stuck around, I just soaked them for a few hours in warm water. I used my tub for that soak though. My sink isn't big enough! You can gently scrub with a towel to get those pesky spots cleaned up. I've got two screens still in the frames for now.
Hi I'm using the riser. Where do I attach the screen print adapter left or right?
I don't have the riser :( But I attached on the left (my left, not the machine's).
Comment #1: Nice t-shirt (the tiger). May I recommend a wolf howling at a full moon?
Comment #2: I wish everything could be fixed with just two screws (Kappa)
Comment #3: Can i get one that says "AITA? Yes.... Yes I am"
Comment #4: I like see you do it the first time. It shows it's ok if everything doesn't go perfectly the first time.
Comment #5: If it's more than 3 fingers...
Comment #6: Kudos for using your chest for good, not evil.
Comment #7: I wonder if a rubber rolling pin would work better than a squeegee if you did this a lot
This is so amazing ... super relaxing to watch too. It would be great for making stock for markets in bulk too. Personally I'd be screen printing everything in the house
I already used it today to make some notebooks for the sewing class I’m teaching on Saturday!
@@fiercekittenz I saw online. It looks so much fun
