great job explaining

excellent info - thanks

Hi I never did these kind of screen so I am planning to give it a try when on holiday in Malta as we will have granted sun. My question is: I can not print design on acetate so can I do my design in black vynel and put that on acetate for the exposure step?

Thank for instructions from France

Great work.i have a question.why the screen chemicle is little bit destroy when washing the screen to appear expose thing? Please give me the answer thank you.

Is the scoop coater and a thicker layer better than just using a squeegie with a thin layer? Or does the dual emulsion specifically work better with a thicker coat?

How long can a burned screen be used for, I have project that I would like to use the same design for over time do i need to recreate the screen every time i go to print or will it last for some time?

What would drive one to make such an extensive educational videos?

And do you make screens for people to purchase already made

Is it possible to order customs screens directly from you guys?

brother i need help from you. which printer is best for transparent / trace paper printer - with dots (screen printer) cmyk print

First I want to say I love the videos. Right before you expose the screen you put it on the lighted table. Is that lit up with a yellow bug light. And what is that table called.

It is! That's a light table with a safe yellow bug light!

Will you make custom frames If i send you guys the file?

approximately how long should I leave my emulsion to dry before moving on to the exposure step? my "dark room" setup is not ideal so i literally have to stay inside until I've completed the process.

+shakespeare85 Really, this can depend on variables like airflow in your room, temperature, etc... Just eye ball it until you know how long. You want to be sure it's completely dry.

Hello, instead of the printer on thAt type of printing film, can we use Heat transfer vinyl? Or vinyl at all?

@fightdecals

6 жыл бұрын

You can apply black sign vinyl to transparency film or even smoothed edge glass. I used to do that for a screen printing place for oversized art.

Also can i re-apply the emulsion to the screen and try again?

If you were able to completely remove the emulsion and reclaim the screen, then yuup!

how important is it to have the scoop coater for the emulsion layer? Could it work alright to spread a thin layer with a squeegee?

@Ryonet

3 жыл бұрын

Your emulsion deposit needs be be consistent and even. Emulsion exposure times are 100% related to emulsion thickness. If your emulsion coat is uneven, your exposure times are uneven / over and underexposed. Uneven coating will give you spots where detail disappears from over exposure right next to spots that are underexposed because the emulsion is too thick. Spreading emulsion with a squeegee will not make an even coating of emulsion :(

How long do you think it will take to expose the screen using the bulb included in the kit?

Using the bulb, and emulsion from the kit I would expose the screen for about 12 minutes. With the bulb 12" - 16" away from the screen.

does it matter if the mesh is white or yellow I just started using yellow and the emulsion just washed out completely thanks for all the help

@Ryonet

8 жыл бұрын

+Art Barnett The color of the mesh shouldn't matter. If the emulsion is washing away after exposure, you are most likely not exposing the screen long enough. Different types of exposure units or lights require different exposure times, depending on the intensity of the light source. If the problem persists after increasing your exposure time, please call our support department: 1-800-314-6390

whats the max screen weight for screen printing ? i did some big one with wood and was wondering if 7-8 lbs is too heavy

@Ryonet

Жыл бұрын

Weight of screen is only important if your tools can not hold the screen properly. If your screen is 80lbs and your tools hold it properly, you can use the screen with no issues, and then you can reclaim etc... then 80lbs is fine. If the screen is 5lbs and you can do none of the above, then 5lbs is too heavy.

After degreasing, is there a reason why the screen is dried with the inkwell side down?

@Judahpeter

8 жыл бұрын

+DennisIsAMenace I was taught to dry the screen with the print side up. That means the inkwell side is up as well.

@Ryonet

8 жыл бұрын

+DennisIsAMenace Good question! This allows all the water to drip out of the frame. It's more important to dry your emulsion with the well up as this is optimal for binding the emulsion to the screen.

Hello do you guys sell any ink to print those polypropylene bags those bag are sensitive to the heat if you have the ink can you send me the link

@Ryonet

6 жыл бұрын

Hey there! You can either print on those bags with water based, or plastisol inks. Whichever you choose, you'll need to make sure that it is low cure. If you choose to use water based, you can use our standard Green Galaxy line of inks, mixed with Warp Drive Low Cure Additive. You can find the inks and the additive linked below (See the video on the Warp Drive page for usage) www.screenprinting.com/cat/green-galaxy-water-based-inks www.screenprinting.com/warp-drive-2-oz If you want to print with plastisol inks, I would suggest getting our Epic Top Score inks, which are already a ready for use, low cure ink. You can find them linked below (See product pages for videos and information about the inks) www.screenprinting.com/cat/athletic-and-polyester-screen-printing-inks If you have any questions, feel free to email us at success@ryonet.com, or give us a call at 800-314-6390

Where do we find the exposure times

@Ryonet

7 жыл бұрын

Exposure times will vary based on the emulsion, mesh, and exposure unit that you use. A step wedge exposure calculator is an awesome and easy to use tool for dialing in your exposure times no matter what your set up! If you need help with exposure times for our products reach out and let our Success team know : )

how long should a screen sit before use i found a screen i had put emultion on about a month ago can i still use it

@Ryonet

As long as the emulsion hasn't been exposed to UV light you can still expose it. If it's already got the design burned in, then this screen can be used for a long time to come, many months or even years :)
