Fkn first like lool!!
Nailed it.
The trick of using the glass or tile on top of your scale to measure and mix your ink earned a sub from me. That's ingenious! I hate mixing in the cup because you can never get all of the different colors mixed completely. Going to set myself up with that stuff this weekend.
One way to easily add small amounts of pigments when mixing custom colors is to load the pigments in individual condiment bottles. These cheap bottles can quickly and efficiently drop a small amount of a pigment drop by drop until you hit the right amount on the scale. No more dabbing with the palette knife and then removing it when you add too much. Also a quart bucket with a paddle bit with a cordless drill is amazingly fast for mixing.
Been doing that since the beginning. Glass is still the best mixing method I have found
Thats a pretty dope design and shirt, love all the bold colors!
So glad u back bro!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Glad you're back at it!!
The back and forth with customers on colors is the biggest pain! You're right, Pantone is the way to go.
That’s such an awesome design! Love the colors
Well done and welcome back dawg
Cool ass design Cam! We just bought a the epic Rio mixing system. Can't wait to dive into it. ~Slim 8 Ball Imaging
I have never thought to mix the color on something flat like that. Genius!!!!
Those are purdy... I like the color choices on that safety green. Cool shirts.!
Yea its a pretty sweet color combo.
u are looking so professional in ure grey suit. Love it :) and amazing video!
Great video! Coveralls a must!!
Good to see you again my dude. Now let’s talk about how I get one of those tennis ball tees! They are sick!
I feel the struggle when you said that your clothes get stain and everything, when i was working on screen printing i always had to wear something that i didn't like so i wouldn't mind all the mess
I miss those days working in print screening and now I'm watching ur videos to re learn again everything and start my own business 😊
Great video as always, was wondering if getting an adhesive for you printing board is vital, and what would happen without it
oh ye! Been getting in to mixing colors, this will help a lot even tho i didn't watch yet lol
Just started watching ur channel recently. I just wanted to take a moment and say as a seasoned printer, Your approach is very informational and helpful and i am glad i came across your videos.
That is awesome of you to say that. You are the best.
Very excited and looking forward to the next video Cam! If I could guess this correctly, this nice piece of equipment starts with letter E and ends with Y????? 🤔🤔🤔 Much love dude!
Thats how we have been mixing ink for the last 8 years :) - We do it directly on a large stainles steel table.
I've been using a glass mixing bowl with an electric mixer for a few months and it works great. I'll take a 2X please.
Good video Cam....
Sick M8....LOKO... just wondering if any chance to get one or two Tshirt....That vibe of this video travel all the way to here NZ Aotearoa .. Excellent style... Thanks for all the content Nice DATA ..😎🤓👊🤙☠😂😂😂🥳🥳🥳🥳🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Hahaha I just got coveralls couple months ago cause I seem to get ink on every part of my torso. Better then apron. Not so good for summer tho 😐
Dope shirt
I would wrap vinyl on the glass mane it would make it easier to clean and you won't have glass all over if you drop it 😭
that's not a bad Idea just on the bottom so it wont shatter all over the place. look at you using that brain.
They make a clear "tape" that is pretty wide that you stick to carpet in new homes where you plan to walk. That way you don't get the new carpet dirty. That stuff works amazing to stick to glass to keep it from shattering all over. We used it to pull huge mirrors off of walls when they used liquid nails to stick them on. And, it's pretty cheap.
Where do you buy all the metallic instruments that you use to remove the colors??
HI Cam, what App you use to edit your videos:
I have some Pantone inks that I'd like to thin out and paint with. What would be a good solvent to use? Thanks in advance!
Do most customers come prepared with their own artwork? Or do they come to you with just an idea of what they want, leaving you to design the layout for them?
can you give the specific name/brand of that heavy gram scale?
Want this T
Great video man why not use plexiglass cam? I mean doesn’t break! 🤪
Good
Hello, what happened to the flash cure imported from CHINA, do you no longer use it?
Where can I get this tshirt??
Just seeing this now but why didn’t you just get plexiglass so that you wouldn’t be shattering it and cutting your fingers?
Cam , your shit is always better than my shit. I guess that is why you are my guru.
Is there anyway I can contact you ? Thanks
Do you prefer the pallet glue over spray tack or tape tack.
Oh yes I can't stand spray adhesive
Mixing on glass lol what is this witchcraft method. Jk. Great videos bro. Where can we buy the shirts?
Yea man offset press men use to mix colors on granite or glass. Its OG AF. Also, way less wasteful.
What's wrong with mixing cups though?
I use Miami ink
How do we get one of those awesome tshirts..need!!
Not selling em I give em away.
@@ThePrintLife well i would love one and would pay shipping to get one..if you have any extras
Garbage Pail Kids are dope!
Jessie still there?
He is around
Just put the cup that can carry 1000G on the scale. Zero it out. Put the base amount. Zero it out again. Put the pigment amount and zero out before the next pigment goes in. That glass is a waste of time.
I think he does that before that I think this is actually better because you will be able to mix the inks better than mixing it in the tub.
Cam didn't mention it real clearly, except at the very beginning when he was mentioning frustration "and all that shit",,, but one of the big reasons to do it this way is so that you can be very exacting with your pigments, until you got them all perfect. If you just blob them into a quart container, and make a mistake, it's a bitch (or impossible to fix) getting some of that exact color back out that you just blobbed too much in. Or sometimes the recipe gets confusing, and if you think you made a mistake, you can scrape off a whole color and re-do that one. The pigments are extremely concentrated, and the slightest bit that you are off, its shot. The pigment colors are measured in 100th of a gram increments. So, it's a nice way to not be dropping screwed up tubs of color in the trash.
It is way easier to get a good mix this way. Also less wastefull than using and throwing away plastic containers all the time. It also saves you money. Its also way cooler.
Have you ever tried lexan from home depot? Relatively inexpensive, damn sure not going to break it. Win, win, win. Until we do it again. Heath- Twisted Threads
@@Vanillagorilla7173 Unfortunately Lexan (polycarbonate plastic) scratches quite easily and would not stay completely smooth, and likely not be able to clean the pigments completely from any scratches. But... If you were very careful to use only plastic type mixing spatulas, that might just work okay. And it's cheap to buy more.
