I started screen printing after seeing you screen print with vinyl. I liked it but I wanted to do more so I jumped into emulsion pretty quickly but still use vinyl when I'm doing large prints that I need to change quickly like text.
@PaperBeatproduction emulsion allows a lot better detail and you can rinse the ink and reuse the stencil over and over. Vinyl will loosen and come off when you rinse your ink.
This is a great video! I recently did my first emulsion screen too. It was super easy to do at home via DIY. I know Ryonet has that amazing set up in their studio but its super easy to do at home as well. I used their Emulsion for the screen and then use Speedball Flex ink. It washed out super nice and the sun cured/dried the screen so I could use it again within about 20 min. Looking forward to how you use this new tool in your studio with your new press (that I also have!).
Thank you for this video. I would be really interested to learn how to do emulsion at home without a vacuum exposure unit or a drying rack with a fan. 😊
Thanks for showing us this method. I was a bit confused at first as to how the emulsion was going to work or what it was going to do, but it clicked. :)
Nice video again. How do you remove the emulsion from the screen? I have been trying emulsion with half tones at home, they come out pretty nice most of the time but the leave a shadow of the image on the screen when I reclaim it. Any suggestions? Thanx for the info. Also could you do a video on using emulsion at home since some of us may not have the equipment in the video?
I would start with an emulsion remover like this one: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/emulsion-stripper. If you still ahve some shadowing, Ryonet has some other products that might help. You can give them a call and ask one of the experts which product they recommend. I am working up the courage to try the emulsion process at home on my own! I'll be sure to share the process here when I do 😊
I believe Jennifer used plastisol ink for this video. For those with at home setups, I recommend using the Baselayr Long Lasting emulsion. It is super forgiving and very user-friendly.

@@tracieleachman6263 I love hearing that! So glad to hear both methods serve a purpose in your process!
why emulsion?

Did you use water-based or plastisol ink? And which Baselayer emulsion.

i live in the netherlands and i want to buy your screen print press with the clamps but you dont ship to the netherlands right?
Right now the press only ships within the US, hopefully Ryonet will be able to offer international shipping soon 🤞
