It's around 2k $ if you were asking yourself
How many notebooks do you have to print and SELL including the costs for buying the notebooks to break even to zero dollars?
This all looks like a zero profit rich daddy operation.
It’s a bit annoying that you have to figure all these small tricks (alignment pins, shims, etc.) despite these expensive machines are of the same brand. 😒
You obviously never printed anything?
I am in general a fan of the "Not a tutorial, but an educational explanation of what I did and the considerations I was making in the process" format, and this video is a 10/10 for me. Looking forward to whatever you put out next.

Thank you for a very interesting video, Cris! You seem to be full of energy and creativity again and that makes me really happy!
Thank you so much!
You need a white base on dark fabrics :) great video, so informative, love your channel
You need marijuana too.
You’re probably right. Thanks for the tip!
@@GetHandsDirty I only know because I've done some custom art screen printing on Gameboys, and to get good colour you need a white base of the overall silloete, so I assume it would be the same for dark fabrics etc :) I so wish I could afford your lasor cutter and screen print set up, better get saving
You can also mix rubberized with a little bit of wet-look-ink to apply on fabrics and it will pop-up a little after hot dried on a blower. Just make sure all the color separations are done before air-hot-drying. You can control the desired pop-ups on the portions of the lay-out.
You're Awesome 😊 you always have the best tools $
one thing i like about you is that you always have one eye pointed to the future. who else would have sanded and varnished the plywood immediately to make future cleanup easier?
it's good to see you so excited about this new direction. your sister does great work, too.
That's one way of doing it. But platen tape is also an option. When it gets dirty you just remove it and put a new one on.
Back in the days, I interned at a screen printer. For multicolour, we had all the screens set up in a circle around a pole and pre-aligned them. That way, you printed one colour and then pivoted the screen you just used to the side, thereby brining in the next screen already aligned perfectly. That way, you saved the time of changing screens in the holder for every print.
Another, but similar, method we used on 4-colour prints had the printing base rather than the screen rotate. 5 stations; one to put whatever you were printing on on (and in the end off) the base, and then passing it on in turn to the four colours. Granted, that's a bit overkill for a beginner maker; but worth mentioning, I think.
Essential for t-shirts as you can't reposition the shirt for each colour. I made two fo these machines, foot operated screen carousel lock. Making the screens was a PITA though and the laser method is a great improvement.
@@liquidsonly Bro, can I use new graphics on my old screen?
كم
You're so cool. I'm glad I found your channel; the inspiration you create is like no other. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! 😊
Screen printing aside, that's one hella aesthetically pleasing looking workshop!
Thank you!!
@@GetHandsDirty I was thinking the same. I felt a lot of jealousy thinking of working in my tiny, dirty garage.
Oooh New vid!!
1.5 hrs to get 1 large frame done...
I'm out! thanks anywaay.
Yellow is always such a transparent colour, it is best to apply a layer of white underneath, then it will really pop.
Yeah. Or if you can make the yellow darker, like gold it will help. Or add some white that may help because white ink is designed to cover better.
Love the detail and seeing all this stuff in your shop and how you do it. Wanted to know if you used plastisol ink with the screen printing press yet? Was wondering how it printed with that in. Great video again!
WOW so nice your crativ work❤️👌👌👌 BIG RESPECT🤗
Great video showing how this machine works. Cool merch. Mahalo for sharing.
It is incredible how technology is mixing an art like screen printing with lasers, that point is magnificent, you save printing the originals and developments, in addition to applying the emulsion to the screens, what I don't like, and it is not clear to me is that Will you have to buy each emulsified screen? That being the case, it is a creation of waste that becomes pollutants. And how much does each emulsified screen cost? I don't know Rick it's questionable... Your video and production is excellent!!
I agree with your thoughts. I want to learn more. Can anyone help me?🤔🤔
🤔
@@changejoe474 the easyest Wayne to lern, is that you look for a screen printing store.. they will teachyou
Were there instructions about which side of the screen is up? Typically in screen printing, you'd put the smooth side of the emulsion down, towards the print surface. You'll get sharper edges that way. Results might be sub-par with what I see in the microscope shots where the metal mesh creates bumps and gaps on the print side of the screen.
Awesome ! Also, the yellow silhouette seen at 28:03 would make a great poster/t-shirt (maybe add your 'get hands dirty' logo on the silhouette' shirt)
Love it! Your quality and attention to detail is what keeps me coming back. Can’t believe you’re almost at 1 million subs!
Oh wow. This is a game changer for modern screen printing.
Thanks for sharing.
It really is! It’s very exciting to have screens ready to print in an hour or so 🤩
Super cool video. Thanks for posting :)
do you need help?
Wow. What a huge advance over the traditional methods! So much simpler, faster and much easier to keep screens in registration. Perfect for short-run multicolor prints.... and very economical, given what's included in that multicolor kit. (Clever technique on the magnet and thin ruler to keep the notebooks flat.)
Great video Cris, cool idea adapting the microscope to the camera.
I don’t know how i ended up on this channel.. but interesting screen printing press… I learned screenprinting in high school and now I own my own business.. I could never recommend this for a beginner.. Too much to learn not easy to set up way overpriced!.. you can buy a 4 color press carousel for cheaper than that.. you will outgrow this machine real quick and it will be too hard to resell.. this would be good if you just need a one color station for a quick and easy jobs.. My first 2 color screen press was about $100 used back in 1994.. And I still have it to this day and still use it.. if you’re beginner do your research but I would not buy this or recommend this to a beginner.. interesting technology for silk screen burning..
Amazing work! Just for cleaning purposes, I think this mesh density is the right size in your instance. If it works, well don't... mesh with it, right? right?....
Ahaha 😆 I guess you’re right!
boom 😂
"BOOM!" 😁👍
Boa tarde, Cris. Não cesso de me espantar com as múltiplas valências que revela! Parabéns pela sua versatilidade e imaginação, não esquecendo a capacidade de trabalho e a perfeição do mesmo. Gostei imenso do vídeo e do resultado do trabalho nele desenvolvido. Todos os itens são ótimos. Votos de boa semana e fico a aguardar a sua próxima produção.

hahaha yes 😂
...el secreto está en la malla metálica y la resina que la cubre...ya que con cualquier grabador laser podrías hacer el diseño en esta malla , quemando las zonas donde debe pasar la tinta
You come across as such a kind and caring person and I thank you for all your help in various products that I've used over the years. Keep up the great work! Esp. love the glue scraper.
Thanks for your kind words! I love to hear that I helped you somehow :)
It's basically an ad for the screen printer..
I Like it
Thats business
@@Alfonso_111 That's fake business
@@jacekolejniczak8726how?
But she's not doing a sales pitch, and it's a fantastic instruction video too. I love it. The comments section is great for questions and answers too. Nothing negative
I used to work in a small screen printing shop when i was very young. I can definately say that those equipments and techniques are very inefficient and causing so much time and money waste. A laser printer higher than 600dpi resolution, transparent sheets and a weak ultraviolet light or even sunlight is enough to prepare the mesh. Also irrespective to the picture size, the posing time is very short. Meshes can be used thousands of times. you can clean the emulsion after use with a regular bleach. in brief this video is an overkill but fun to watch.
Expensive hobby😢
Very cool ❤
Thank youuu!
I love screen printing, but I could never do it. It get goose bumps on my entire body when I hear the sound of the squeegee or the brush going over the mesh >< It was a little hard to watch for me :D
Ohhh I’m so sorry about that, Tina :( I appreciate your effort watching this video.
Just found your channel and really enjoy the videos.
Buena iniciativa
Un saludo desde Barcelona España
Very nice! So nice you can experience the feeling of how addictive it is😅😻
Did you said "Até já" (portuguese for "see you later") at the end of the video?! ❤ As a brazilian, I feel very thrilled about that. 🥰

Of course you played around drumming on it! I’m finally retiring. More time to do my art. Reviewing your videos for my studio set up. I am building my own desk after an inspiration from one of your videos. I think I got those same craft cover notebooks for my art students. I think I would like to try putting wood veneer on them. They look so nice.
Olá, será que alguem me pode ajudar? Eu procuro o nome em ingles ou em português das plainas com feitios para fazer desenhos na madeira. E também gostaria de saber onde posso encontrar esse tipo de material? Lembrome do meu avô ter umas manuais que faziam entalhes muito giros. Procurei nas casas mais famosas de bricolage mas não encontro nada que faça um desenho que visto em corte fica a lembrar a letra omega do alfabeto grego. Não sei se me fasso entender. O mais indicado será uma plaina manual ou uma fresa? Qual a diferença entre estes equipamentos. O meu objectivo era fazer molduras trabalhadas nas madeiras para crear uma biblioteca classica. Obrigada por partilhar os seus videos de carpitaria e não só. Gosto muito de aprender. Um abraço do Algarve.
I would also love to learn what if I want to make something bigger how can I create it with small to medium size printing methods like you do. like printing 100x150cm painting with silk screen
Por que você ficou admirada pelo fato dos chineses colocarem Português no manual?
I got interested in printing because of your video thank you for sharing ,I wish to have that machine too ❤ new subscriber
You make it look so easy. Well done
Nice presentation. As far as I could see from the video, all the inks were quite thick, and thinning them a bit would have improved the prints. Some ink manufacturers also offer other ink additives, like flow control agent, which can also make a big difference.
I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind answering them. What's the mesh count of this metal screen? The "emulsion", as you call it isn't photosensitive, right? It is just burnt off and the leftover particles rinsed with water? Can you apply this emulsion, coat the screen yourself, or the screen is not reusable? Thanks in advance for answering.
I agree with your thoughts. I want to learn more. Can anyone help me?🤔
el sangrado se debe a 1: la forma que entinta la malla , cuando la entintes pasa el rasero (manigueta) en ángulo contrario a como lo imprimas, 2: tela ( malla ) suelta, un mayor tensado se depegara de la impresion mas rapido , 3 el sustrato a imprimir suelto ,se levanta por la tinta, coloca adhesivo de mesa que lo sujetara . escribe cualquier cosa. felicitaciones buen emprendimiento
That looks like so much nerdy fun. The prints look awesome🙂
Вообще то ,обрабатывать дерево шкуркой в том же помещении ,где печатаешь ,нонсенс .Потому что деревянная пыль садится на всё оборудование в мастерской ,и спокойно может забиться в типографическую сетку ,и на другое оборудование .Комната для печати должна быть огорожена ,чтоб меньше пыли было .
Да и потом ,сначала надо было под пресс подставить ,а потом печатать )
Blueprints of some of yer designs would also be clutch T-shirt material.
So cool! 😊👍
A true labor of love! Great project, great machines.
Schönes Video, aber sicher nicht für Anfänger! Alleine wenn man schon sieht wieviel man tricksen musste um die Siebe zu belichten, das ist für Anfänger kaum zu schaffen. Abgesehen davon haben die wenigsten "Anfänger" 2000.-€ (+ X) übrig um mit dem Siebdruck zu beginnen. Das man für jede Farbe das Sieb austauschen muss ist ein Nachteil, normalerweise hat man für jede Farbe ein Sieb und das ist im Siebdruckkarusell befestigt, das spart Zeit und ist genauer. Ein benutztes Sieb wieder genau so in den Rahmen zu bekommen wie es vorher war ist auch nicht so einfach.
Das Ganze erinnert mich an die Anfänge der 3D-Drucker, wo Leute für tausende Euros/Dollar einen Drucker gekauft haben um dann eine Trillerpfeife oder irgendwelche Figürchen auszudrucken.....

37:32 for black or color fabric, the standard practice is to lay down white and then lay down the color on top (unless is white of course) As far as i know, there are no pigments thick enough to do it without the base layer, i guess yellow is very light and that is why you got away with it, but other colors might not work. But that would be a bit more of a problem than usual since you are trying to use a single station machine to do all the inks. (note that on the base file you usually have to inset a millimeter or so from the edge of the actual graphics, to makes sure the white doesnt poke out on one side or another) Drying it with the heat gun is fine for diy, but there are pre-drying machines designed specifically for this purpose that you roll on top of the shirt for 20 seconds or so. Also am I out of date with ink tech? I thought all ink for fabric needed to be baked. I still have the damn oven.
Very cool.
Que lindo! Parabéns! Assistir seu vídeo é muito satisfatório
Vinyl, Paper and Fabric Inks are different things for specific uses.
what a leisure
you can burn the screen with machine in your own workshop. not manually/ traditional method
if i have these tools
my poductivity gonna rise exponentially
wow these turned out great!
Can you use a higher count mesh with the printer? I’ve only seen people use 100
eu tenho um pote de pipoca igual o seu kkkkkkkkkkk
Can you use this screen printing equipment as a stand alone unit or do you have to purchase the whole expensive X tool set up?
I'm not sure if it will work on screens. On my laser, I do an outline pass over everything. It removes the stair step look you can sometimes see when looking up close. Not sure if that would help with screen printing or not
I am a screen printer old school retired I did from dark room to stencil making to machine operator. I like the laser stencil machine no more mess
Very nice video love the machine who makes it
I watched to the end
Boas Cris! Desde já quero te dar os poarabéns por este teu projecto. Já sigo este canal há algum tempo e fazes sempre conteúdo super interessante. Onde costumas arranjar as madeiras que usas, como o veneer que usas-te neste vídeo? Compras online ou localmente? Não tenho fornecedores com madaeiras mais "exóticas" na minha zona e gostava de começar a trabalhar com elas. Obrigado e Até já!
Olá, obrigada! Compro no JP Leitão. Há alguns pelo país, verifica se não haverá algum na tua zona.
So cool! Things have changed a lot since I took a screenprinting class in 2009!
Pretty cool, very nice 😊
wow!! you never cease to captivate me. 💜
Hello, nice video, i liked a lot. Fico a aguardar o seu próximo vídeo.
Espetacular!!
A cleaner, quicker way for screen printing? Nice. /Starts video
xTool Screen Printer: $250 -- AWESOME! Getting ready to order! Oh, wait you need a laser printer, too?
xTool Laser: $4000 -- oh. Puts credits card back in wallet. Well... it's a nice video.
As I say in the video, you can go to a makerspace that has a laser near you, a friend, or purchase a much inexpensive laser machine. The recommendation is the S1 from xTool but you can go even cheaper with other laser brands that might take more time to burn the screens.
One tip, run tape around your screen edges, so clean up is easier. Very clean work
🤷🏻♂️ 26:00
I love the way you work very detail and teach us every step. Thank you love
Can you supply me the quote for the machine and associated materials?
The BOOM is back! Thanks for sharing this cool process, Cris!
Did the screen reusable or we should buy new one for every new project ..??😊
I might have tried a white (base) coat then a yellow coat of the same image.. Just an idea..
j'ai mon CAP et pourtant je n'ai jamais réussi à garder les mains propres. Bravo
Very Cool, good job!
Clean descriptive video. The textile print needs much less dense mesh than (40 lines /cm) for example paper print as much more color has to go through. What is the mesh density of this prebuild screens?
Cris,thanks for sharing your work and interests with us

This system appears suitable for hobbyist only...hobbyists with unlimited budgets.
I liked the video, but I think it's very expensive. The lasertool will be (in europe) 4300,- euro's and the press itself around 500,- that's insane. And the riser base another 500,-
You can use any other laser, as I explained in the video. You have lasers at 800€ or even cheaper.
sou super fã do seu trabalho, sempre que posso assisto seus videos. Parabéns
can you also screen print on canvas for artworks. I. would love to see them too
where is the glow in the dark substances? Take the starlight up there, and place it on shirt.
Muito arriscado cortar o dedo desta forma, já aconteceu comigo fazendo isso.
Thanks for the video, here you have, a new subscriber.
ele aprenderam a traduzir a coisas pra portugues com o pessoal da Nintendo.
Black fabric typically takes a white base layer under bright colors and a double stroke of white over black. (even with Plastisol)
Posso aplicar verniz 3D da mesma forma com esse processo seria ótimo pois faço muito trabalho em Lisboa.
E já agora saber uma vez que comprei uma pequena máquina laser se esse tipo de tela poderei adquirir para fazer na minha máquina laser
Yes
Where can I order the Lazer Printer and how much it will cost here in the Philippines?
I am a manual screen printing professional. but I don't have modern equipment like you have.
Muito legal o video! Gostei muito dessa técnica de produzir impressões com silkscreen! Abraços do Brasil ✌
