I really like that screen cleaning box you made, I need to make one of those! I just wanted to say that if you wanted to be able to have a more permanent design, you can use heat transfer vinyl and use your heat press to apply it to the screen. It works best with those wooden frames with the cord holding on the screen, because you can take the screen off and apply the HTV and then put it back on the frame when you’re done. Then the design stays on even when you wash out your screen, which is pretty cool! And if you want, you only need one frame, since you can take the screen off and put in a different screen with a new design. The only downside is that the wood frames get warped eventually from the water, unlike the aluminum frames, but you can always get a new frame when that happens and keep your screens with the designs on them as long as you need to.

I usually do 5-10 shirts at a time. I use Cricut Permeant Vinyl. It has never peeled off while in use. Once, I used one screen 3 different times. Probably got 20-25 prints on it. I gotta use a power washer to get it off. I usually clear it in propose now and start fresh every print.

Might want to keep the image flooded when using waterbase ink or the ink will dry in the screen. I stopped using decal vinyl and if in a pinch use htv. It the regular way of using emulsion.

Great video!!! I dig seeing someone using a print such as yours, via the Cricut process. Most seem to be much simpler, text based prints. Curious, in regard to the palette. Does it slide forward and/or back so as to accommodate slight adjustments so the print falls in the right spot on the tee? Or is that more about the placement of the vinyl onto the screen? Making sure it’s in the right spot?

You will get the worst results with this method. As you print, youre destroying the vinyls adhesive causing it to fall apart. You also cant wipe the print side of the screen without messing it up. And chances are all the adhesive will stay in the mesh, so the screen is toast afterwards. Just learn to coat and burn. Its not hard AT ALL.

And using heat transfer vinyl to permanently attach the stencil to the screen works even better. Let people DIY without all the judgement.
