How To Screen Print Tee Shirts: Drawing Your Pallet Lines
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2013
- Here we have yet another excellent screen printing tutorial video from Catspit Productions. In many of the Catspit videos we see the pallets and often times there is a pallet with cross hairs or lines on the pallet tape. It seems that these lines confused many people and they knew what they were for but not necessarily how or why we create them. So this is a pretty simple instructional demonstration which shows you how Jonathan creates his pallet lines. He also explains why he does this and how this helps him when in production on press. You'll learn what tools he used to make the pallet lines as he walks you through the drawing of a new set of pallet lines on press. It's safe to say that you'll learn everything you'll ever need to know about these strange and cryptic pallet markings. If you have a sharpie, a ruler and a tee square you'll be able to follow along with Jonathan as he sets up his pallet for a brand new screen printing job.

Thank you very much. I have done a couple of videos about print placement for crest prints and sleeve prints. I’ll do a video about artwork size and then maybe we can talk about all the common print placements in another. Thanks much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
You’re very welcome! Thank you. Glad to have you on the forum, thanks for joinging ;) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

Thank you! You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure to help out and share information. I don’t really have a recommendation for that because I buy my shirts locally in order to avoid shipping fees. Please check out the Catspit website for a lot more free info on screen printing. Links are on the “About” section of my channel page. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
Thank you very, very much! I appreciate that more than you know ;) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
I´ve been watching you for 3 months now, I really like your videos, cool tips, and tricks! Greetings from Ecuador!
Nice, thank you! Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
Thank you and thank you. Yes the new music was supposed to be an upgrade ;) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Hell yeah! love the new intro! Thanks for all your videos, they´re very informative
Love the new intro, Jonathan! And informative as always =)
I’m sorry; I am not hiring any people at this time. Thanks for your interest and good luck. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Your videos are lit. They have taught me everything I know.
Thank you! That's very awesome. I'm happy to be able to help out. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

Ideally with proper off contact the screen does not touch the pallet. The screen and design are generally centered on the pallet using a grid. The height of the printed design on the shirt can vary by design but I’ll probably do a video about this very soon. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
@Ryan Nelson I like square pallets because I can use the shape to get the shirt straight on the pallet. The neck part in unnecessary for me. The square edges work best for me like an automatic press.

That's one crazy way to end the video. Haha. Loving your tuts man. I've liked and subbed to all of them!
Yeah once in a while I throw in some out takes at the end. Glad to know you enjoy my video work. Thanks for subscribing :) Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Hi Jonathan, thank you so much for your videos, I think I have watched most of them now. I'm a newbie to screen printing but have made a couple for my family thanks to you. I've also just bought a one colour press to make things easier. I'm in Australia so I can't buy from you because the shipping is to expensive but I have subscribed and I have "thumbs up" on all that I've watched so far so I hope that helps you. You are very generous. Best wishes from Oz, Ellen.
+ellen errey You're very welcome, glad I can help out through my videos. Yes, I understand. I don't really export supplies. I'm too small for that yet ;) Thanks for your support online, that means a lot to me. It's my pleasure to help out where I can. Thanks for watching.

Killer, thanks! And you’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Great video I am just starting silk screening press on the way hope to be printing soon keep up the vids thanks .
Thank you. The website is up and live. Fully functional as far as we can tell. It has been tested through several international portals and it works fine. We have a few known people in Mexico that can’t log on and we think it is a local issue. Ask your ISP for assistance. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
love all your videos
Thank you! Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Hey! that intro is super cool!!! nice video production buddy! and cool educational video as always! thnks for sharing!
Hey thanks Pepe! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Thank you! The bottom line is the metal pallets stay true. They are flatter and more parallel to the pallet than wooden pallets. They are not affected by humidity and it takes a lot of heat to be a problem as opposed to MDF and such which warps easily. Wooden pallets also burn easily. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Way to go Jonatban! This is Roosevelt, your Customer/Fan hahaha! The vacuum plate is awesome! I'll make a better video as soon as I get a better camera 😜
Hey there my friend! Very cool. I'm glad you like the vacuum pallet. Thanks again for your business. Let me know when you make a video using that. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

Awesome video, liked and subscribed
That line is for the “crest” print. It’s the left chest print that goes over the heart area. Normally smaller designs that may resemble a shield, coat of arms or “crest.” I have a video on this print, placement and such uploaded. Search “left chest print” in my video uploads. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠

INtro Music and "RIP THE TAPE" piece sounds great!
Actually I commissioned Taylor Wright from UA-cam to do that for me. He based the guitar on the old riff I performed in the old intro. However, I do not know what programs he used. You can find his video of this recording in my uploads and there is a link to his channel from there if you want to ask him. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
ok thanks il try that
No sorry, I don’t skate anymore but that’s why I have the boards. I don’t print them I used to use them. Well, one of them. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Thanks much! LOL... yeah UA-cam is bad and I see they have a new channel page layout that really sucks. They keep saying they’re putting focus on the creator but they are really focusing on videos. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
You always have great information which I am thankful for but I must say that I like the new intro music much better.
hello CatspitProductions I really love your video (and your style XD), can i request you to make more vid tips or tutorials about all over screen printing?
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoy my video work. I may get to that topic in the future but I cannot promise quite when. Please subscribe and stay tuned. I'll do as many videos as I can. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
What is your opinion on pallet shapes? I noticed you don't use the ones that extend out on the top for the t shirt neck to catch on.
thanks catspit
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Intro Upgrade! Congrats
"There's no secret formula behind this"
Thats what someone with a secret formula would say...
LOL.. are you a conspiracy theorist? :) Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
You make awesome videos, but can you make a video on choosing the right size for your art work and the correct location where you lay your your screen to your shirt
Hey dude; I learn a lot from just watching your videos. 2 things; I want to say job well done and let you know I appreciate the tips, secondly... where can I buy good brand blank shirts (bulks) for a GOOD price? Thanks in advance...
That’s a Marabu ink. I don’t have one as I don’t believe I have ever used that ink. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Thank you for your information. But can you use other materials other than pallet tape?
My pleasure to help out where I can. Probably. If you can find something similar to pallet tape. I am in the industry so I never tried to replace pallet tape with something else. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
did you use superior drummer for the drums on the intro?
Could you make a tutorial on printing stripes around the sleeves
Nope. You cannot print 360 degrees around a tee shirt sleeve. It would have to be seamed at 2 points so you could do it in 2 prints. Or if you made a thing to put in the sleeve and print it on a cylinder press??? I don't know, never tried that. Something like that would normally be printed before the shirt is assembled. Thanks for watching! www.catspitproductionsllc.com/ - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Can you please show how you fix the screen in one you have the gridlines lined up? And then of course ahow a successful print, as I understand once your screen is lined to the pallet, you are going to have a nice straight print on the fabric, not necessarily t shirts....
Already have. I have over 500 screen printing videos. There are at least 3 that go over loading the pallets with shirts and one about screen and press tips. Check for those in my uploads. But it is certainly possible to get the print straight on a tee shirt. But those lines are for the screen, not the shirts. Thanks for watching!

I'm having problems with screen printing a left chest print on womens bella shirts can you tell me the easiest way to measure it Thank you
+Ronelle Moore No, not really. I could show you but in text I would have to write a book. We use the collar and armpit to determine the crest print position but that can depend greatly on the cut of the garment. This video may help:

What material u use to cover the metal plate? Paper?
i like the intro,, sounds
Thank you!
i would like to know how to stay away from making sploges when i do my printing my ink bleeds after 3 pulls on the same screen i do three because the first two pulls dont come out clear enough , i am doin white ink on black , black cotton shirt heavyweight , is it the garment ? or is it my ink ?
+monik toscano Hard to say.... maybe the ink but most likely your flood and stroke. Perhaps too much pressure. What type of ink are you using? What mesh count is the screen? Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
I just purchased some aluminum platens with the same shape. How far from the top should I make the line for chest prints? @catspitproductions
There is really no set standard. Each printer has their own particular method of printing and placement. But this video may help:

what is that white sticky paper that you put down called?
hey catspit! i almost liked ur vidtuts...
can i request you to make more vid tips or tutorials using waterbased inks.
TIA!
+edison islanan Almost liked?? I plan on it but I need to source a good water based ink yet. I want to do water based textile and poster videos but I need an ink I can sell to do that. I'm working on it but it may take a while still. Please hang in there ;) Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
tnx man!
you really rocked the silkscreen world!
your channel is the best source for silkscreen printers like me. Keep on posting vidtuts. it provide us enormous solutions and tips.
cheers! im gonna wait for your waterbased vids. especially the techniques on how to get rid of clogging inks onto the screen.
+edison islanan Thanks! One thing you can do to reduce or eliminate drying while on screen is to back flood. Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/TfGtAd-Lzg8/v-deo.html
Excellent tips and help as always! Thanks so much! 8:37 made me laugh, it's true youtube have been moving stuff around lately, it's getting so messy. One thing someone helped me with the other day, which I found useful. Not sure if it's the same for you, but my subscriptions page is loading in a list instead of a grid. If you put the youtube address as normal, ( youtube dot com ) & then put
( /my_subscriptions ) after it, your subscriptions load as a grid again! Might just help you. :)
Sir, What is the size of the screen you have used ?
That was probably a 125 mesh. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
You should just use registration marks to align I guess
Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
I need screen don’t know which ones can you help ?
I may be able to help if you have a specific question I can attempt to answer. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Will the sharpie leave marks on a white shirt?
Once fully fry it should not. But that is possible. And if you spray too much adhesive on there that could also make the lines transfer. It's a matter of making sure the lines are dry and you do mot use too much spray tack at once. However, usually it's not much of a problem. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
hello, i think my pallets are a little crooked, how do i set up the pallets for them to be straight?
Honestly, that depends on what press you have. But you'll have to level them off somehow. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
how do you put your pallets?
Please elaborate on the question.
hi catspit im very interested to work there as a printer man i have a experience here in our place but in manual way hands making only not machine
how many cats do you have~!!!!??? cheers and print on!
I have one. And I'm waiting for her to die so I can get a dog.... LOL. Just kidding ;) Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Great video although it is six years ago It is still useful for me.
I try to make timeless videos ;) Maybe an oldie but the info is always relevant to those who wish to learn. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
ehy man great job, one ting your website is no working i been trying to visit from the last couple of days an nothing
New Sub
Awesome, thank you!! Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Why not mark the pallet itself?
Because I use pallet tape to make cleaning the pallet easier. If we marked the pallet directly we would have to line up the screen before we apply the pallet tape and then remove it to see the lines again. See my video about cleaning pallets to see what it is like without pallet tape. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
