I love coming back to your videos for refreshers! I've been coating screens for 8 years and still get great take aways from these. Thanks! - Amber

Thanks for the explanation about the gasket and pushing the emulsion back through. This definitely helps me remember the order of the steps and the how and why it works.

I've struggled for weeks to expose screens. Humidity should be the 1st thing in every how to video lol. Had to get a dehumidifier in a closet.

[@ReiaHart]

Thanks so much for the tips! Your coating was *chef's kiss* I'll be giving it a go with your tips!

The title hits deeper than I want to admit lol. Literally raged the other day and threw a screen across the shop (after trying to set up a 4-color print) 😅 went a bit “Screen Print Postal” this past week 🥲

Great informative video!

[@skandalist]

Very cool tips🔥. I look with pleasure! Can you please tell me how many Newtons do you use when tensioning your screens?

[@artsandeducation7716]

Thanks a lot, I learned many more ...

i got a humidifier that you can set at a particular amount of humidity and if it goes over that it turns on automatically, but if the humidity stays under a set amount it never starts up.

did you make the coating mount?

[@SpuddsBuckley]

What model of t-shirt are you wearing?

[@juschill1]

Where can I get that screen print coat mount?

[@patriciarodi1057]

taking a screen printing class and my teacher says to ONLY apply emulsion on one side but every video I see applies it on both. What am I missing here? We are doing prints and not t-shirts....is that why??

[@kcleahrose]

I’m taking a class too and apparently two-sided is mainly if you’re printing a ton of stuff! If your class is like mine, you’re only printing editions of about 5. These videos are usually for folks who are printing for like 200

[@pattidepriest3030]

Do you make screens for people???

[@amaury_permer]

It's just me the one that feels the "P" of "Printavo" has a bad kerning?

[@jesselambert3012]

Maaaaan c’mon brother

[@Jchot]

I'm so sick of copyright free trap beats. Why do all screen printing videos use this?
