      Is that so? Despite the fact that the emulsion is not supposed to be washed away with water into a normal sink/shower/whatever because it's heavily polluting for the environment? Professionals have appropriate filters and/or closed circuit tanks for the water used to remove the emulsion from the screen. So I'd advice you to send some other video to people asking how to get into screen printing, so they will know emulsion must not be disposed of down the drain like it's harmless.
      You said you've been printing for 20 years. You should know that.

      can buy screenprint transfers, dirt cheap, heat press for 7 secs, done - esp since she was using a heat gun to dry each bag for approx 1 min each. faster production

    My father and I did screen printing back in the 70s long before computers - and it was caveman style compared to the easier methods these days. This was fascinating to watch and to compare to how we did things on a much more primitive method. I'd forgotten about the need for lots of flat surfaces to allow drying. We used to fill every flat surface, table, countertop...throughout every room in the house back then, lol. I still recall demonstrating silk screening as my 8th-grade science fair project in school and it was a big hit with fellow students and teachers. We printed participation ribbons (1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons) for our track and field day during the science fair - so it was also a very practical and constructive science fair exhibit. I got an 'A' grade on it, hehe.

    Hello! I've watched a few of your videos and think you are amazing. Thank you for "getting to it" your videos are direct and easy to follow. Although I will say I do not have the woodworking skills or tools you have, but it is very fun to watch you make stuff... I get my hands dirty with screen printing (fine art rather than posters, t-shirts and bags). I make books as well, but have not done an edition of blanks to sell... sounds like a project? YES
    Anyway, thank you for taking the time to teach us out here.

    Screen printing continues to be one of the most effective and efficient printing media on the market, and one of the cheapest, as well as reducing production costs from 50 copies. In addition to this, it can print a wide variety of materials, and also allows an interesting variety of special effects by varying the number of threads per inch of the screen, and the type of inks. Very good video and thank you very much for sharing it.

    As someone who's been running a tshirt screenprinting shop for 20 years I very much appreciate all the work you put into making everything yourself. I use industrial size equipment like automatic presses, dryer, flash units, and a big light table that takes 6 seconds to burn the image into the screen. Makes me appreciate the equipment I use a lot more after watching this lol...Keep up the good work!
