i want to know what actual colors do you represent CM with. Is it and actual Cyan and Magenta or Red and Blue?
C- is actually Cyan process ink. M- is actually Magenta process ink. Y- is Yellow process ink. B- is actually Black process ink... they have to be actual process inks.. using just a standard multi purpose plastisol is wrong.. and will not work. The colors must be process color plastisol.. or whatever type of ink.. water base or discharge ..

Great video! I was so confused on some stuff on other videos but you made it very simple and easy to learn! Thank you!
TBECupid hey thanks for watching and commenting! Any other videos that would help?
For right now no, but I was wondering what is that thing you use when you go and flash it I have not really seen any other people use it and also what does it do? Thanks!
TBECupid that is a flash dryer- it just dry’s the top layer of ink enough to lay down another coat or color...

Nice video, thanks for posting
Tim McElheny hey thank you for watching and commenting!
New sub. Thank you very much for sharing.
Lovely
What kind of squeegee are you using?
What dot angle did you use for each color? Great video, btw! Very few people can pull off process with an underbase.
hi look great
Thank you
No problem. Thanks for watching
Super rad.
Can you explain me please about the highlight white im not use to it.i have no idea.thanks
Hey, what kind of exposure unit do you use? I'm just starting out and looking to print cmyk. Any tips? thanks.
You sir, just got a like, and a new sub bud!
TeeVince89 hey thanks for watching and commenting!
Money in the bank...👌
Great Tuts! Please do a tutorial on how you separated the CMYK in Photoshop. As always, your vids are awesome!
How do you get the white highlights out from the picture?
Can you do a tutorial how to prepare that photo for screen printing in photoshop ?
305 mesh triple durometer squeegee
What’s triple durometer it’s not 85?
hey man, great content that you have. thank you for sharing your knowledge about screen printing. I have a question or maybe some questions. can you do the cmyk screen printing with discharge ink? especially on black fabric?
Gigih Ikhsani that’s a GREAT question that I think a lot of of have given its popularity & the possibilities if that were possible I am assuming given how discharge & CMYK work independently that the answer would be no but I’m not certain.I have the same question and will be trying to look up some tutorial videos for the same question elsewhere. If I find something, I’ll try to find this comment and give u the link or the channel to try to help answer your question. Best of luck to u!
Can I print cmyk from polystyr screen?
Omgosh that's awesome I need to get my 🐕 like that. Lol. Don't know if he would hold those balls though.
Hi! Loved the content!
Is the white under base film and the final white highlight film the same?
How do you create halftones for them?
Filter - Pixelate - Colour halftone
is there a link to the color seperator in photoshop? I have been using Photoshop to seperate the colors but if the plugin can make it easier I would lvoe that.
I used Ultra Seps Color Separation- should be able to google it and find it- I don’t have a link
thanks for the great vids. i'm wondering why you used the ultra seps halftone, rather than accurip's? cheers!
joel e hunt we used ultra seps just because I have had it so long and have always used it- I haven’t used accurip to much to print halftones because I haven’t taken the time to learn it...
What kinda squeegee was that?
Hi. Thanks for sharing informational videos. I'm interested in your technique for printing. You are pull flooding and very lightly pushing the ink. Is there any benefit to your method over pulling the ink? Or is that just printer preference? And you don't go much higher than 45 lpi on your 305s? Thanks again.
Kevin B I think printer preference yes correct. I like to push because it’s easier on the body. And we can go 65lpi on our 305’s but that’s as high as accurip will print halftones. I think some printers go as high as 81 lpi and higher
How long did you expose your screen for?
can i know the shirt brand with the code?
Hello can you explain me how you are seperating cmyk positive and which software you are using to seperate film positive??
Dunno if you found out yet but in photoshop you can go to the channels section next to the layers panel and then select the CMYK positives. Save those channels separately and make sure you add a half tone gradient to each otherwise shadows and highlights don't show well, after that you should have 4 positives for CMYK for printing
Great video! Will Ultraseps allow you to print using a Canon printer?
KIDS Cover the 90s yes!
is that mesh 305? oh and what type of squeegee.... double durometer? or triple? :D Great video, thanks!
CrossFit RockSteady yes did I forget to mention those things?
lol
CrossFit RockSteady yeah probably could of done with one mention...maybe 2 but 4 might of been to many;) thanks for watching!
Awesome printing, may I know which type of ink you used for wet on wet cmyk , plastisol or water based ink? TQ
He said plastisol, but I want to know if you can do that for water based also
@@just_me_marla7310
I done it with water based ink, but not wet on wet.
can I use other printer (not epson) using ultra sep? and print it directly? does the quality of the halftone will be accurate?
Yes! We used to use HP printers..then moved to epson. HP works too so i am sure other brands will work as well.
Nice one.. do i need to print it while the ink is wet..?.. tkanx..
Louie joe Sellado he says wet on wet, so yes. flash the underbase, but for the CMYK just print the wet ink on top of the other colors without flashing
Can I print on dark garments? Or only light garments?
amarillablues dark and light garments
Is it possible to print on fleece (hoodies) using CMYK?
Sure is. Are you going to print on white hoodies?
How do you get the white underbase from the image? I can only separate image into the four colors
* unQuestionable TV * I will do a video on that this weekend... are you using channels?
Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts I personally have been using Illustrator, working only in vector separations using spot colors.
We’re looking into the potential of using either photoshop or illustrator to print full CMYK process separations. We’d be able to drastically increase our offerings, as currently if someone wants a CMYK image, we have to sublimate it on a 100% Polyester, White garment, only at sizes 8.5” x 11” max.
Is the rotary don't need registration mark?
Christian Oliquino yes you do while registering screens
I see you have a exposure unit from ryonet. If you would use that exposure unit how long would it take to expose. I have one of those. I can't never get it to expose right. I do my seperation with acuurip 22.5 angle and 55 LPI on a 230 mesh. Any idea? I have try like 10 diff image and no luck
I only use the exposure unit from ryonet as a light table....We use an led exposure unit- the old ryonet exposure unit we converted to a light table to line the screens up before we burn them....Have you tried an exposure calculator?
Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts No I haven't try the calculator. How about the angle and LPI I use is it ok for the 230 mesh or should I use 305
Ivan Ramos for manual printing- i use 45l lpi for halftones...the 55 lpi may be to small for the exposure unit your using...what kind of emulsion?
Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts it's aquasol hvp
Pre-sensitized sbq photopolymer
It's from Murakami screen
This emulsion was given to me.
Ivan Ramos hmmm...I think diazo emulsion holds better halftones than photopolymer...you might ask murmaki if that emulsion can hold 55 or 45 lpi...
Platen to use for L, XL T-shirts printing ? With 16" x 20" Frame
Adam Chris the platen we are using in this video is 14 wide x 22 tall- which i like to use because we can print youth small- adult 4xl...
the white underbased in the screen is it halftone of the design?
No not really- to be able to print cmyk the dots have to land in the right spot on an even plane- and a halftone under base would throw it off I believe
Hi is the white underbase regular white plastisol ink? Or white underage discharge ink
85fatboi just regular plastisol ink
I only have a 4 color screen print. How would you print a black shirt with a 4 color print if white base is necessary?
you can try subtracting the black, everything black in your image can be the black of the shirt
Hi i want to know how to you seperate that positive please explain me
The Original can be separate in Photoshop or Coreldraw...... There have "tons" of video in YT about separate in CMYK...
HI. THERE DO YOU HAVE SPOT COLOR SEPARATION IN ILLUSTRATOR VIDEO TUTORIAL?
Jowfe Studio not yes but I will make one
ua-cam.com/video/fyp7jOkKVW4/v-deo.html
can you show the part where you print them on the transparent screen?
what kind of photo emulsion you used?
We used dual cure emulsion. The dual cure gives us a better resolution when printing 55 lpi
Where do you get your squeegees at?
I order from GSG
How do you get all of those screens aligned
I’ll make a video on that
@@LearnHowToScreenPrint Did you ever end up making a video on this?
Please explain mr how to seperate that positive and how to print out positive is in tone or not??
The Original can be separate in Photoshop or Coreldraw......
Ok and can you make a video of film positibe seperation in coreldraw because i am using coreldraw so
I am also screenprinter so pleasr help me sir
what CMYK Seperation Software do you use?
Efraim Juaton we used ultraseps

How do you print the next color without the colors sticking to the screen
Can I do halftones on 120mesh ?
Chris Els maybe 35 lpi halftimes...which are bigger cartoonish dots
I'm screen printing master
What's the cost of operating these machines if you were to print 100 t-shirts?
On the black it looks like the white under-base is peaking out in certain areas. Would this be acceptable to most customers?
Daniel Mullins Yes it does look like it peaks out here and there- we will re-burn the screens before we print the order and choke the white underbase a pixel or two to get rid of the fringes.
Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts ok understood. That probably happened from dot gain on the underbase you think? Just curious for my own purposes. Thanks for the help.
Daniel Mullins - I don’t think it would be dot gain...we only printed 10 or so shirts so we shouldn’t of had a problem with dot gain after only doing that many shirts-....
@@LearnHowToScreenPrint are you supposed to choke the white underbase by 2 px before you put it through the cmyk/halftone process or after ?
Can you explain the process how to choke the artwork for just the white underbase? Thanks again for the video.
Good Stuff, Bro. What’s a Good Website to Buy CMYK Plastisol Inks?
GothicFlex hey thanks for watching and commenting! We used wilflex cmyk true process plastisol inks in this video- what state are you in?
georgia!
What spray do you use to keep the tee firm on the pallet?
Thanks
Shahdaab Tumbi we used water base pallet adhesive
Can a water base white ink be used as an underbase on dark garments?
Sure can. We used to print water base as the underbase....then print plastisol on top...
Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts you know how many ppl I asked this same question and they had no clue, you are the man, thanks a lot, keep doing what you doing. You have my subscription 👍🏽
@@LearnHowToScreenPrint Thanks for the video. If you used waterbase as the underbase what Mesh and lpi would you use?
What kind of emulsion do you use and what's your exposure time? What kind of bulbs are in your exposure unit?
FlintRedstone hi- we use Chromaline udc-2 emulsion- our exposure time is 80 seconds on a Vastex LED exposure unit.
What's kind of ink you use?
We used process plastisol ink....true process cmyk plastisol ink.
Brother, you used butter paper or master paper?
Please reply
I didn't use any paper... this is printed on textile. We used waterproof ink film for the positives.
Thank you for your reply
Can process rubber or waterbase ink print that design?
Firman Wira I don’t know about process rubber inks. I am pretty sure waterbase inks will work- although you might have to lay down a discharge base if your printing on dark colors. If it’s a white or lighter color shirt you should be able to with water base inks if the ink manufacturer makes true process colors.
Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts oh i see, maybe it just use different mesh size, thank you so much
Firman Wira hey no problem! Good luck!
Dam that's real dope that's sum I want to learn how to do the seps for that
I did the seps at the end of the video-
YMCK, sounds like a weird village people thing. Great video btw.
Every time I said YMCK I though of that some too..
what was the second step? i mean what were you doing with the another machine after giving colors? and lastly where u put the white t shirt? was it for ironing? i mean you are using three machine in this video, what is the use of the next two?
Marzia Rahman hey thanks for watching and commenting! The second step- flash dryer is the dry the top layer of ink enough to lay down another coat- so the ink is opaque and holds enough color that the t-shirt color can’t be seen through the ink- and drying on layer of ink is sometimes necessary to lay another color on top or by that layer...so they don’t smear and the design stays crisp.
the third step?
Marzia Rahman third step was the conveyor for the final cure- to “permanently set” the ink-
Man, good video... question, what is the software used to separation ???
Josue Alfonso Eslava we used ultra seps software plugins inside photoshop
Why do screens have different colours like green and orange?
W E the different colors- which are yellow and white mesh- help with the burning- or exposing the screens- the yellow mesh- helps with not letting light refract around the mesh while exposing. So you are supposed to be able to hold halftones better- thank you for watching!

Can I use red and blue instead of magenta and cyan?
Rodo Wood not typically no. The CMYK ink sets & process act like a color wheel... literally. The colors are specific to create other colors when layered. Different than spot color. U can try it but it will come out differently... maybe that’s what you’re going for... idk. But for an image to come out CMYK as intended pulling in all the colors, no. Lots of variables: type type, opacity of the ink, CMYK, autoline, maxopake, water base or plastisol, additives (if needed using a different ink), etc. best of luck to u. Hope that helps. 😄
on your video bout screen mesh year a go,u say 230 mesh the highest u use 😊 ,so my question is why 305 ,that is so high
Good memory! With CMYK printing you have to use a 305 but that is the only time I use them.
Angel??
Hi, is plastisol ink?
He did say plastisol.
Where do I get color separation software sir?
Adobe Photoshop can do this
I mean the plugin of photoshop
Yo Yo - tshirt-factory.com/color-separation-photohop-action.html
Yeah, but, I'd like to see you try that with a 305 mesh and a triple durometer squeegee, AND in one stroke. Good luck
I love it i have questions. Can you drop your Instagram or Facebook?
if you say 305 mesh, triple geometer squeegee 1 more damn time bro!
Too many ads
Or is plastisol just work better
