    How To Screen Print: 2 Color Press Set Up & Test Shirt
    Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenpr...
    This is a tutorial screen printing will walk you through a techniques that uses the film positives on press in order to set up a multi-color job. In this case Jonathan at Catspit Productions forgot to put in his special little registration marks so the ones on the film did not washout. Therefore we used a technique where we use the film positives to line up both screens in this simple 2 color design. By actually setting up the film positives on press centered on the pallet we can then line up the clean un-inked screens. You will notice in his video I did not even have to use micro registration at all. But that is partly due to the simplicity of the design. Watch Jonathan as he tapes off the screens and sets up the film positives on the pallet. The see how he lines up the 2 screens, inks them up and has a perfectly registered design. Learn how to screen print for fun or for profit!

    Thanks AGAIN Jonathan (Catspit)! I spent a long frustrating evening trying to figure this out by trial and error last night with limited success. Tonight i'm for sure trying this method.

    @dizzytoledo 12 лет назад +1

    I know you were asking Jonathan; but "MY" preference is taping on the inside.
    If you don't tape the inside; ink will be getting in between the mesh and the frame and it may cause looseness in the long run. You will have to spend more time spraying the inside of the frame and possibly using more ink-removal product.
    Hope this helps. I would still like to get Jonathan's take on this.

  • @808SHIRTS
    @808SHIRTS 12 лет назад

    That's a good question. If I have a big order, I usually put tape on both sides because the ink might seep through. But Im interested in CATSPITS reason too.

  • @CatspitProductions
    @CatspitProductions  11 лет назад

    @ Chris Reid, It's hard to say what is causing that from here but try using a lower mesh count for the under base but not too low. Maybe a 135 and follow up with either the same for the colors or use a 110. Use a gentle flood and stroke while fine tuning it to get the desired print result. You don't need as much pressure when printing on top of semi cured ink. Thank you! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

I am about to be retrenched and although I could get a job doing what i was, managing a company, I just don't ever want to work for a boss again. I have an idea on who my main target market is going to be (company shirts etc) but would appreciate any advice getting back into this business. Gary- Durban S.Africa..

    im still New to screen Printing

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  7 лет назад +2

      Yes, I was printing on a very light colored shirt with black and gray so off contact was not too critical as I wanted to print a lower volume of ink. Off contact is more critical when you're trying to get maximum opacity with the least amount of work and ink. But you can, for instance, print black ink all day long without any off contact since it's so powerful and we usually only need a small amount of black ink to actually make a decent print. I have at least 2 videos about off contact. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

    Good job man, been watching through some coming from a metal printing shop. Seems the carousel set up is a real benefit, would you say it would be too hard to do this with a single press ?

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  6 лет назад +2

      Thank you! It would be nearly impossible since trying to line up a screen with ink on it is difficult at best. The shirt needs to stay on the pallet until the print is finished. So putting in one screen and then another would be very time consuming at best. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

      Maybe use a composite print out of the art in black so you can line up the screens. Unfortunately there is no secret if you can’t see through the emulsion.

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  11 лет назад

      You’re very welcome. Glad I could help out. Normally we print the lightest color with the smallest stencil first. But generally it will be the lightest color ink to the darkest for print order. Black is often last since it traps all other colors in many cases. Without seeing the art I would print blue then black unless the black is much smaller than the blue.

    Newbie question....Interested in how to make a design for more than one color. What software is needed? How do you separate the design so you can do multi color?

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  6 лет назад +1

      That's a little difficult to answer in a comment. I have some videos on art creation and color separating. I use Adobe Illustrator for software with an Epson 1400 inkjet printer for film. You can manually separate colors in AI or use RIP software to automate that. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

    LOL, stupid registration marks :) In this case the screen had never been flooded or printed. Therefore I did a quick double stroke to ensure it filled in nicely into the knocked out areas of the second color. But in general if you keep doing that it will blur the edges and lower print resolution. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

    Thank you! You can clean the screen of ink and save it to use over and over until the stencil wears out or the mesh gets too frayed. But you would be able to print a lot of shirts with a screen. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

    I think it’s a personal thing for me. I also believe it uses less tape and achieves the same results much faster. And I have never had any problems with mesh adhesion due to some ink getting in the corners. It can be cleaned out pretty nicely when you reclaim the screen.

    I'd like to ask, I'm having a problem when printing unto shirts/paperbags since after several prints, the ink gets stuck on the screen especially for small details. I always have to wash my screen and wait for it to dry which is quite time consuming especially for mass production. Is my ink too thick? Or do I have to mix my ink with something else for it to seep through continuously? I really can't figure out the problem :( I'm using a black water based ink. Please advise. Thanks!

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  7 лет назад +1

      It sounds like the ink is simply drying in the screen while you are working. The smallest details will often clog first. See if there is an additive called a "retarder" made for your ink. Also be sure to back flood between prints. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

    @Klaem0re 9 лет назад

    've always wanted to do my own shirts without needing a minimum amount, I do a little bit of everything when it comes to art so I decided to start watching some tutorials on silk scree. I've been buying things little by little since it's for personal use I won't be making money out of my prints. The question I have which I can't really figure out is multiple colors, I am going to be using a one color press which I might buy soon or possibly make which is not the problem the problem I have is figuring out how to lay the colors. I thought and figured it was all about laying the colors on top of each other layered for example and image of Sonic I figured on a Black Tshirt I would lay the white base wherever theres color leaving the black as the background Tshirt unless I was using another color like green I would do a solid image of sonic in white as the base and then lay every other color on top not overlapping.I would mix colors or buy the skin tone for my first layer on top of the white "solid" not dotted, then the red shoes again using only solid colors and matching the color and then going over with the blue using every color where it belongs, toward the end either going back with black or not depending if I didn't cover the black when I designed it like your image and that's it. I don't know if that's correct or not because browsing around I came across CMYK which you akready know what it is... the question Is am I suppose to make my desing in CMYK or can I just lay the colors on top like a coloring book?

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  9 лет назад

      +Klaem0re I think you're asking if you can work in spot colors or CMYK. You can do either one. You can use all spot colors OR you could do CMYK with some spot colors. Or you can do just CMYK. It's up to you how you want to render the design. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

    • @Klaem0re
      @Klaem0re 9 лет назад

      +CatspitProductions I don't really know the terms but by spot color I imagine that means the same way stencils work in layers. Honestly this is harder than I thought I've been watching your videos and I recently bumped in to CMYK and threw me off... I hope someday I can be a pro. Thank you so much for your quick response I will be purchasing stuff from your site.

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  9 лет назад

      +Klaem0re You’re very welcome. Glad I can help out through my videos. Yes, spot color just means full on color with no gradients. I do have a few videos about artwork and color separations. Check out my playlists.

    What is the name of the mod your using to clamp the screens to the arm? my screens keep moving a milimeter each time i try to line them up and i feel that this is my only option to solving this. Iv contemplated going to lowes and rigging something up but this is something id pay money for it quality. Where can i find this for my Magnum press?

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  10 лет назад +1

      Not sure exactly what you're referencing. But this is not a mod. I sell these presses and they are made that way. The print head clamp is built just like that. You can see them on my eCommerce site. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

    when you separate your art work do you leave any overlap or do you separate it pixel perfect? eg if using a white underbase do you have that pixel perfect to the next screen or slightly smaller?

    • @CatspitProductions
      @CatspitProductions  8 лет назад +1

      You can "choke" the white under base if you want but when printing colors "butt/butt" it's not always necessary since the ink tends to fill out a bit over a longer print run. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
