this is exactly what i did in college when learning to silk screen, my local staples closed and became a target, but if you have access to a place with a printer, it kicks ass, its pretty cost effective for diy shit
Thanks, i needed to see this video! I am a new printer, so still learning. I went to Fed Ex and Office Depot, just emailed my image over and they used their transparency film, didn't come out very black, duh. I will buy my own film and double down!
Yes they use laser printers. And you will need to have them print it twice. Cut one out and overlay it on top of the other. To make it darker. You also need to tell them that it needs to be as dark as they can print it
Hi Ryan, thanks for this content. I know it's an old one. We've learnt our lessons with inkjet printhead printers. Lost a lot of money with RIP, cartridges, et al. We just lost the canon PIXMA 100. A printer we didn't use for more than 10 times. Coming back to your printing at staples. It is obvious that they are using Digital Presses with Toner inks. My question is, you mentioned taking along your inkjet transparencies film (waterproof). Are these transparency films compatible with big toner based digital Presses/printers? Because we have some inkjet transparencies from our stock and we don't foresee going back to inkjet printers until the technology is devoid of the stressful daily/monthly maintenance. Thanks
Well.. it’s not really made for printers that has the “drum”, like those copiers. If your Staples store will allow you to do it. Just send the transparency sheets 1 at a time.
@@RhyBeats Hi Thanks for your responses. I tested the inkjet waterproof transparency film (Darkstar) and it worked very well on our digital press. I am the new Staples in town.😃🤣
@@bosun436 if you do. The transparency sheets needs to be feed from the tray not the regular papper drawer and you need to tell them which side is the “print” side of the sheet
@@RhyBeats We have a vacuum feed on our Ricoh Pro C5310s. It was a lovely.print. I wondered how the industry succumbed to the pressure of inkjet printhead based film output printers. I guessed screen printers wanted to print their films in-house..
Love your vids....do you recommend a 13x19 printer? If you have a 15x17 platen? The reason why I ask is because it seems that it's a smart print image on extra large shirts. Or do I get a 24" wide printer? For the jobs that you do most, what print size do you use? Trying to figure that out before I buy the press. Thanks for your videos sir.
David Reed it’s the actually size that you will be printing. I don’t print anything bigger that 11” wide. So if you are planning on printing bigger than that then yes, get a 13” wide printer. It’s the size of the designs that you are planning on printing, not the size of the pallets
Called multiple staples. They tell me they don't do 11X17 prints. I asked if I could bring my own in and they said no because it will jam their printer? Any other way to get bigger prints?
They will need to feed it through the tray 1 by 1. It will not jam the drum on their printer. That was the same issue/thought that we had in the begging, until we tried it.
@@RhyBeats yea it only has one small black ink cartridge I'm not sure how to make it use the other colors haha. But for the ink being as cheap as it is that cents a print. I do 13 x 19s
As a dude without a printer learning to screen print I need to try this. Do you know if staples sells the transparent film? or somewhere else I can get them in person? Subbed!
Hey Matt! Thank you for supporting my Chanel. Staples has transparency sheets (8.5x11) for school over head projectors. But if you want a larger size, you an order them at NorcalSPS.com
Why are you printing on the sheet horizontally instead of on 11x17 vertically? Also, won’t the registration marks burn onto the screen as well? Thanks!
Only reason is that the design is 12” wide. My transparency is 11” . Yes the registration marks will burn on the screen. But we usually tape it up before production
Hey man I’m trying to start out can you make a video on how to take an image and make it not blurry when I print it out and how to make it ready to go to staples becuase when ever I get it printed it is very blurry and I don’t know how to fix it
Ya you need to get vector files. Reason why it’s “blurry” is because it not a high resolution images. For staples, it just needs to be ready for print as you would when you print it out yourself. I guess the first thing is get the high resolution or a vector images
I been struggling trying to figure out why sometimes my screen image wash out easy and sometimes a bitch... I was blaming my emulsion coating... nope... dam films aren’t dark enough! Rhy if you fix your printer make a detailed video! I just bought one like yours! Does anyone know if you can only use black and leave the rest out or empty on the epson 4800s+ The canon pixma isn’t printing dark enough no matter what I try

Thank you for the informative videos - just an observation.... You showed that you are using inkjet transparencies, but at Staples, the copies are printed on what appears to be a copier - does the copier ink/toner still stick to the inkjet transparencies?
Hey Mike. Yes you are correct I’m using the Inkjet transparencies printing them thru a copy machine/laser copier. You must tell them to print on the print side of the transparency sheet. It’s the same as they would print on those overhead type of Transparency sheets for the schools for the over head projectors.
Hello RhyBeats hope you're well. So...what kind of printer is needed exactly...could you please give me some stats ...pointers...and what sort of money are we talking. Thanks mate
Yo Rhy, quick follow up. I used your double up technique at Office Depot. I just got started and wouldn't have even known to look out for this, but when they gave me the negative, I put it up against a simple white paper and could see thru it. If I didn't catch your video, I would have just taken it as it was. I had them make doubles and it worked perfectly! THANK YOU! You earned a new sub here!!
@@RhyBeats Thanks I have to go this route because for some reason my canon pro 100 won't print dark enough. I am new and watching and learning through your videos.
I have a question, so the film you’re using is inkjet right? When I go to kinkos or staples, they said I can’t use inkjet film on their laser printer. Am I missing something here?
Yes you are correct, copy places 99% of the time has laser printers. Your transparency films will go through the laser printers on the external tray feeder. You just need to tell them that you need it printed as dark as they possibly can and you will most likely need 2 copies to layer them together. Just say it’s a transparency film, similar film to an overhead projector.
I have been trying to make my images large & haven’t been able to do it. What program can I use to do that? Also I went to FedEx & they were only able to print small image.. how do you know what side to print?
Can inkjet film transparency print on laserjet machine, looks that you send the film at laserjet machine. Some of my technician laserjet machine don't recommend me to print inkjet film on laserjet cause it will melt the film .maybe I should try
Hi do you have a step by step tutorial on how to use the transparency as a screen stencil? I ordered a stencil online for $15 and if that transparency is the same thing then I can get them at Staple's right?
They can print 11x17 , you need to bring the transparency sheets. They only have the 8.5x11 for overhead projectors. Also check FedEx print place. Some can print 13”
HELLO DO YOU KNOW PRINTING MACHINE WHICH CAN PRINT POLY PROPYLENE PLASTIC MATERIAL 0.8mm WHITE SHEETS SOMEWHAT FILE FOLDER MATERAIL PLAYING CARDS MATERIAL THANKS .
Aarrggh! Old school here. Find a photolithographer. Get real film positives. Durable an opaque. Pass extra cost on. Hated having to use supplied printed films. Most were garbage.
Late to this but I really appreciate the tip to double up transparencies. Saves a lot of headaches
Nice, clean and cheap alternative at a heavy investisment

@@BruceWayne-th8gv That is a good question. As long as it doesn't damage the printer.

Thanks Denise! Yep that was really cool

That’s better then owning a printer just go too staples cheaper you don’t have to pay for ink and maintenance on printer great video 👍

Hi Rhy, nice video. May I ask a question? I have a need to print white ink on transparencies. Any suggestions on how to do that?
You need to use the transparency as a stencil and burn that image onto a screen.

Check to see the what side of the paper you are printing on. There is a print side
Wow that’s a good price!!! Thank You
Which printer best for transparency paper make positive
It depends. But I use the EPSON 1430
I got a 1430 off ebay for $250 and they sell 10 packs of black ink for 12$ so that's what I do. The down side the Ink is good for like 20 prints
That’s it .. just 20 prints?!!

Vector file will be best . No issues when resized
Usually as long as it's set to 300 DPI or above it will be good to print.
I have a question for a newbie.. I can print these at home no problem but what the best way for exposure on the InkJet ones? ( setting it to my silk )
Do you have to use Adobe Illustrate
No you don’t

The canon pixma isn’t printing dark enough no matter what I try
No you cannot just use black and leave the rest black. You will need the clear solution for the others and use a RIP software or get all black carts

What side does it have to be printed on or it doesn’t matter?
It does have a print side to it. It will be the “ non-smooth” side.

Get your transparencies at NorcalSPS.com
Are you printing on inkjet film also because laser film tends to shrink and warp in printer? ,if so I will try this ,thanks
Only reason is that’s what I have and I believe that the laser film will get stuck in the laser printers drum or shrink .
What software do you use? Was the stick you used a SD cars?
Canon ix6820 $120 printer end cheap ink from amazon works just perfect
Yep. Not bashing him. But thats a ton of time spent away from the press!
Nice job Rhy!
nice video rhy you do need to get that printer working lol
I know .. I need to
One question do the art work have to be on a flash drive when you take it to staples or can you also just email them the image you want printed out
I used a flash drive. But make sure that it’s ready for print
Do they have their own transparency sheets or do we have to bring our own?
I would bring my own
Ok. You have the printed transparency, how do you create the stencil for the actually screen print
You need to have a screen coated with emulsion, and have a way of exposing the screen to make the stencil
I went to Staples and Fedex and both said they use laser printer. The transparency paper I have says inkjet. Does it matter?
Nope. Just make sure you tell them that it needs to print on a certain side

White colour has no Hue. What is the solution for printing transparent sheet with white colour artwork?
You cannot print white on transparency. This is for screen printing and it needs to be black for the stencil
Does it have to be 11/17 to make it easier for the or can they print also 8.5 by 11?
They can print 8.5x11. Just depends on the size of the print design
This can print color ?
No you don’t need it to be color for transparency for screen printing, but you do need all the colors of the print to be separated
Ok so the film works for ink jet and laser? Is that correct?
Can you do it with color
For screen printing. It needs to be black for burning screens
