Yes you can! This is an old video and we don't carry any solvent inks but you will want a solvent ink so it adheres correctly to your plastic bags and doesn't scratch off.
Hi there! Our inks are made for apparel printing so for metal you'll need a solvent ink. We don't carry those so I'll need to send you to a competitor! Check out Nazdar Inks.
Hi there! Solvent ink is generally permanent once dried so I think I would skip on those screens. We no longer carry solvent cleaning chemicals or inks so I would recommend reaching out to a solvent ink supplier to be sure of their recommendations!
Hi! Great question. Longevity and durability of ink/print will always depend on the type of ink used. Some ink types will have a lot more durability, like epoxies. As always, follow the manufacturers recommendations for prep, print and cure!
Great question! Printing on plastics or metals need to be done with solvent inks. We don't currently sell them but there are many who do! Epoxy and Vinyl inks are most common for printing on metals and plastics. Make sure you know what substrate you're printing on and find the appropriate "graphic" or solvent ink to adhere correctly.
Thank you for this very professional and informative video. I have recently began attempting to use Nazdar's solvent based ink on thin metal substrate. I have been having problems with coverage (thin and missing ink). My screens are prepared for me by a local graphics shop and I am confident that they are providing me with perfectly prepared screens ready to print. Can you give me a starting distance for my off contact height? After some failed attempts I have raised my off contact height to approximately 1/4". I have noticed that the screen was not releasing. Nazdar advised me to thin the ink, but I am still having slight release problems. Should I raise the off contact height, thin the ink more or both? This has been a very frustrating and rewarding process but I am currently in super frustrated mode and I could use some experienced advice. A couple of things that you note in your video that I am doing differently is I am using a 355 mesh screen and a 80 durometer squeegee. My local graphics shop is currently preparing a 230 mesh screen for my next run. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey there Rob thanks for reaching out! It sounds like your mesh count could possibly be too high. If the ink isn't clearing you may actually want to lower your off contact so you do not have to push as hard and run the risk of smooshing your ink making it look blurry. Your up and coming 230 mesh screens will provide a world of difference, but you may end up dealing with the inverse of this issue. Lower mesh will release more ink so you may need to reduce your pressure or keep your off contact higher for a better "bounce" of the ink on to your substrate. Hope this helps! Give us a call or a live chat anytime you have questions :) 800-314-6390 messenger.providesupport.com/messenger/ryonet.html Bear in mind we no longer sell solvent inks so if you get someone that isn't knowledgable about them, ask for Mark or Lucas, they can help :)
Great question! You'll need a solvent ink and we don't currently carry any so check with Nazdar. Hate sending you to a competitor but they carry solvent inks for metal printing and you can search on their site for the correct ink to match your needs. Make sure to pick up any recommended additives, emulsion, and cleaning agents for solvent inks as well.
How much off contact are you talking here? We would need at least the height of the item (or binder in this case) as well as how much more? A quarter? Two quarters in height? Thanks for being so great with the videos!
We didn't post what mesh was used in this video but solvent inks are much thinner than plastisol and even waterbased inks so you'll want to use a higher mesh like 300+. We no longer carry solvent inks but you can check out TW Graphics for ink used on hard powder coated surfaces.
Instead of saying d o a research of what type of inks ur going to need, you should make a video about it or have a document about that already. That way you will sell more
+Lounny Heredia Very good point . I have been wanting to switch from plastisols (t-shirts) to printing wood signs but I'll be darn if there is any info out there that explains exactly what emulsion, ink and cleanup materials to use.
+Vernon Steinkamp , I see this post is over a year old, but did you find any information you were looking for as far as painting on wood signs?? I am struggling myself to find much info
Tim Tinsley Tim still not much luck finding anyone that has all the answers. The co. that supplies the ink/paint for screening will not respond to my questions. I believe it is Nason paints but not sure now.
i just bought a press and several screens. Im gonna try a variety of inks out and see what is gonna work best. some of the screens are slightly damaged anyways so i dont mind if i mess these up. ive seen posts about people screening with house latex paint with a retarder in it to keep it from drying in the screen so fast....I'll let u know what I find out from trial and error
anyone know of any good tutorials on screenprinting front panels for electronic gear etc? I need to print dial calibration marks and text onto a painted metal panel ...any tips?
Does anyone know of any local industrial screen printers in or around Lincoln, Nebraska (In the USA.) that can print (50pc - 150pc yearly) 2-color opaque Fire Red & Black, full solvent based inks (that are abrasion & UV resistant for outdoors) on White powder coated steel metal doors? The doors are 22.75"x 22.75". (Approx. .75" depth.)
Hello, can plastic shopping bags be screen printed with this ink ? Thank you
Yes you can! This is an old video and we don't carry any solvent inks but you will want a solvent ink so it adheres correctly to your plastic bags and doesn't scratch off.
Hi, I will be silk screening white letters on a black powder coated metal surface. Can you please recommend a white air dry ink ?

@@Ryonet thanks!
i wanted to screen print on surface of steel plate which ink i should go with
Thinking about buying used screens but the have dried solvent ink. Can it be removed easily and reclaimed like plastisol? Haven’t seen a removed

Is this printing method on metal gonna last? In terms of scratches?
Hi! Great question. Longevity and durability of ink/print will always depend on the type of ink used. Some ink types will have a lot more durability, like epoxies. As always, follow the manufacturers recommendations for prep, print and cure!
How is printing done on electronics items such as below a volume knob where the word VOLUME is printed on to the metal or plastic?

In case of silk print in belt buckles, will it last? because its prone to friction
That's a tough one. I would imagine it would get scratched but you might want to check the solvent ink manufacturer. Check out Nazdar.com
kindly recommend a good ink for metal substrate that should not be removed by solvent rubbing
Great question! You'll need a solvent ink and we don't currently carry any so check with Nazdar.

Hi, nice video, may i know what is a size of mesh count?
Ryan doesn't specify in this video but the common mesh range for printing solvent inks is 230-305. Thanks for watching!
How much off contact are you talking here? We would need at least the height of the item (or binder in this case) as well as how much more? A quarter? Two quarters in height? Thanks for being so great with the videos!
That was about 1.5 quarters I would say.
It really defends on screen tension. I had a tight screen in the video
Does this ink come in white?
+Leo Gonzalez it does! I would recommend checking out nazdar.com for solvent inks :)
+Ryonet thank you

What would be the best ink to use to print onto plastic?
