Screen print on spandex can seem a little terrifying, but follow along and I'll show you the biggest pain in the butt is just loading the garment.
I am praying to the screen gods that this is not your prospective 14,000 pc. order. Great vid and real smart to flash that stretchy stuff before peeling it off.
Thank you!!! It definitely was not. LOL, If that were the case we would just buy the pallets needed for the auto. We don't do a whole lot of leg and long sleeve printing to justify the pallets at the moment.
Could you make some video for cotton legging too pls?:)🙏
@@c.h.2929 Certainly!
Thank you so much in advance ☺ im looking forward for your videos ☺
Great info, Thanks for sharing!
Yesss I’m saving this one. Thanks Matt.
When you said make sure you don’t get the garnet in the registration.... yeah I’ve chewed a 2xl because I didn’t pay attention.
Awesome! Haha, I can't tell you how many I've accidentally chopped up in the past.
Why is this stuff so pleasing...I love it 😛
Thank you Daniel! I hope you're doing well.
I definitely needed this video I'm working on a project and I wanted to know how small the details I could get using this method without bleeding
Good stuff as always!!! Thanks for tip..
Thanks Joe!
i love it.. awesome... thanks nice tutorial.
Thanks!
Good for you Girl!!!
:)
nice print matt came out great
Thanks!
I like it
Dang that is good info
Thanks, Raul!
Hi Mikey, thanks for the tips, actually i just want to know the conveyor speed which you set 270F? Also i had a big problem printing on polyester dye fabrics, can you please suggest which the best heat for polyester dye fabrics? I'm using INKUIN brand ink also i mixed white with stretch base also i print anti migration grey base below the white ink still having problem like after 3days it's becoming bleeding fabric color on top of the white printing please advise
Can I use a blow dryer to DIY set the ink? Thank you for the video!!! Are you in Houston?
Hi! I’m getting a tiny screen of my logo for my swimwear. Can you suggest a good ink and additive? Or where to get it? I’m not needing a bunch as it’s a small design. Also you can’t mix this in advance correct? Another question your hitting it with heat correct, is there a certain cure time?
What you know about putting on stockings lol nice video thank you for sharing
LOL! Thanks!
WOW, that is a lot of money. Good job.
Scary amount per item lol. :) Thanks!
What do you use to make the surface tacky without leaving residue on the garment?
Very informative. Thank you! 😊
Any time! We like to use a spreadable water based adhesive. Does well, once dried. Tacky with no mess.
Do you offer print services for people?
hi Mikey, can you advise on reflective for the same garment type.
Use a low mesh, 85 or 110 so the microbeads can pass through. Add a little stretch additive. Print flash print and you should be good.
Professional 🫶
How big is your conveyor dryer or what model I want to see if I can one same model
It has either a 26" or 28" wide belt and is 8ft long. Ours is a little dated. I'd reach out to Anatol because they have touch screen driers for about the same price.
Can you use stretch adhesive for polyester shirts
You can!
Can you run it under the flash dryer again instead of a conveyer dyer incase you don't have the budget for a conveyor dryer?
You can. Just pull the garment off and set it on the pallet, and check that it gets to the correct temp.
Had this same brand , total fail . I want to confirm mixing nylond bind and stretch add . Could that been the reason ???? I kept getting cracking
You don't want to use nylon bind on spandex. The stretch additive and regular ink is enough. Nylon bind would be good for things such as bags where it needs a little more durability. Nylon by nature is a pretty stiff material.
Hey Matt, is there a reason why u used a high mesh screen? Im assuming it was 230 because it was yellow mesh. Just wondering if there was any reason behind that or if a high mesh is required in printing spandex. Thanks for the video man. This is great stuff here.
Thanks! I use higher mesh screens so it's not a bullet proof print. This print was done with a 196 to give it a softer hand.
Less ink deposited
What’s the software you work on for your designs?!
I like to use adobe photoshop and illustrator. :) bit.ly/Adobe-Photoshop-CC-Screen-Print
Wow. Those are expensive. Lol. I would've been hella nervous if I was doing that print for the first time.
Tell me about it! When we did our live printing their garments, I messed one up and the lady was pissed. lol
Those are the cheaper ones off that site too 😭
Man, I know you charge extra just for the roll up on the platen 😅. Thanks for sharing the additive & temp of the oven
We definitely charged more because of the extra time it takes. Thanks for watching!
with them stretching so tight on the pallet, do you really need to have it really tacky?
You do to keep them in place. Especially if they're pricey. Wouldn't want to have to reprint and take the hit on replacements. Even though they're stretched a little, they can still shift trying to contract. If you know what I mean. :)
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 yeah , the reason I asked is they seemed really tight. I had a few shirts stick when I was trying to get them on right and it caused the design to be warped...lol. I'm selling junk shirts for printers to use as test prints... Lol I must have 100 on the floor...but on a bright note, I haven been throwing things...
Hi! Do you know how to print on swimsuit fabric? Is it the same general process?
a poly/spandex blend
Hi, how its work if i want to print on wetsuite?
That's a good question. I'm sure it's the same, but we stay away from that kind of work because if you mess up, you'll lose.
fucking beautiful, thank you so much!
Any time!
Will waterbased ink work?
Waterbased will work. You'll need to do a little research based on the ink you get / manufacturer.
How did it look after 72 hours? Additives could cause dye migration.
They're still a bright white after a week.
@@Brian-mp2mv And the poly ink. :)
OH HOU!
LUV YA HOU!
Mikey Designs & Silk Screen assuming that’s short for Houston. There’s a Houston st on NYC but it’s pronounced “house-ton”. Weird lol
@@enzprintco.8625 LOL, it's definitely not as cool as calling it HTX.
Hi sir :)
Howdy!!!
Matt, the entire reason I watched this was because I thought you were going to model them for us at the end. A little disappointed.
Hahahaha... Damn, forgot to include that part.
Not very detailed. I still don't know what I need if I want to start making them myself
Here in Brazil there is a special paint for this type of mesh, I work a lot with Praia Surf fashion, the paint is ready and water-based without the need for an additive in it, it stretches like an elastic, I will leave her technical bulletin here .

Thanks!
I'd be scared to touch that haha
LOL! Can't say I wasn't VERY careful.
