It's always such a joy to watch your creative process! I love that you share the mistakes and problems as well! Creativity is often messy but when you see the end result all the hard work is worth it! Thank you!
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 :)
Love it! Your quality and attention to detail is what keeps me coming back. Can’t believe you’re almost at 1 million subs!
I admire you so much, all your videos have an enormous amount of work behind them and it’s very noticeable, it’s worth every second til the end!
😊 thank you for noticing all the work behind it!
I'm a huge fan of your work, I watch your videos whenever I can. Congratulations.
The BOOM is back! Thanks for sharing this cool process, Cris!
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.
Interesting machine. I wanted to see an engraved layer on the notebook along with the printed layers. That would look so premium
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.
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.
its best practice when printing color on dark surfaces to add the color layer to the white layer when making the screens, and sizing the color layer up a couple pixels. Then print the color on top of the white layer. this way you only need one pass of color and you can avoid thick ink application. sizing the color layer up will also make it easier to line up the layers and you wont see the color when it get directly printing on to the dark surface.
I got interested in printing because of your video thank you for sharing ,I wish to have that machine too ❤ new subscriber
Hey. I m from 🇮🇳INDIA🇮🇳 YOUR WORK 👌👌👌✨️✨️✨️🧿👍🙏
...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
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 a manual screen printing professional. but I don't have modern equipment like you have.
Nice work my friend 🎉
Muito legal o video! Gostei muito dessa técnica de produzir impressões com silkscreen! Abraços do Brasil ✌
Espetacular!!
can you also screen print on canvas for artworks. I. would love to see them too
Vinyl, Paper and Fabric Inks are different things for specific uses.
j'ai mon CAP et pourtant je n'ai jamais réussi à garder les mains propres. Bravo
Que trabalhos maravilhosos ❤
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?
У парнишки золотые руки!
Где на видео ты увидел парнишку? В профайле ясно написано Кристина... Страшная конечно как все португальцы, зато руки из нужного места...
@10:50, can you do a video for a drying rack.
Gostei do seu vídeo. I love tour vídeo. I can tell you have an Accident like me. Does Portuguese is Hour girar language?
Sim, sou Portuguesa :)
Would be interesting to see how the emulsion reacts with more affordable printers, cause let's be real the xtools printer is too big and too expensive unless you're doing this as a business. Great demo!
there are videos from other makers using it with other lasers. It can be CO2 ou diode ;)
@@GetHandsDirty Nice! Good to know, thanks!
I loved it
I might have tried a white (base) coat then a yellow coat of the same image.. Just an idea..
Super cool!
Really inspiring video! Thank you. Could you share your source for blank notebooks? I've got ideas...
Thank you! I got them from Amazon, actually.

@@GetHandsDirty Thank you!
Obrigado!
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
what material is your cutting board mam?
Can the screen be recycled?
The lazer screen looks expensive. How much was the one you bought?
My laser machine is expensive for beginners indeed, but you can use any other inexpensive CO2 or diode laser cutter. xTool P2 CO2 Laser Cutter: bit.ly/3VlUNEm

You can always ask a friend who has a laser or go to a makerspace near you to burn the screens. The Screen printer is not expensive, though and is currently on discount.

Oh wow. Thank you so much!
boom 😂
esta genial tengo una pila de atomstack ,deberia porder fucnionar con ella verdad? de que tamaño es el marco de este video?. tengo dudas de la web con los tamaños y kids. Gracias
Hola, gracias! Sim, penso que vai funcionar com o teu laser atomstack, desde que tenha potências suficiente. Não é necessário muita potência e podes sempre fazer duas passagens para remover bem a emulsão. O quadro que uso no video tem aproximadamente 30 x 40 cm. Aqui tens o link internacional bit.ly/3yWzeTs e aqui o link para Europa bit.ly/3Rm7A8M Para mais informações.
where is the glow in the dark substances? Take the starlight up there, and place it on shirt.
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
Why not stamping instead for the single color?
Screen printing produces a higher quality print.

piña natural de mercadona?? what? hahah im shocked... where are u from?
ahaha, Portugal :p

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
All of what she does, I can make for a 10% of her cost. And no scanner.
not for beginner that's to complicated
Expensive hobby😢
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.
😊6no bem 😮ou mal 24😊2
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!
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.
You're Awesome 😊 you always have the best tools $
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?

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.
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🤗
1.5 hrs to get 1 large frame done...
I'm out! thanks anywaay.
Oooh New vid!!
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
Great video showing how this machine works. Cool merch. Mahalo for sharing.
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.
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)
Super cool video. Thanks for posting :)
do you need help?
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 🤩
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.)
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!
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.
Great video Cris, cool idea adapting the microscope to the camera.
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.
"BOOM!" 😁👍
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.
Very cool ❤
Thank youuu!
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. 🥰
Piña natural a rodajas - Hacendado. Is there a Mercadona in Porto? ;)
hahaha yes 😂
Por que você ficou admirada pelo fato dos chineses colocarem Português no manual?
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.
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
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

US $3,999.00 ....????!!!
Very nice! So nice you can experience the feeling of how addictive it is😅😻
Just found your channel and really enjoy the videos.
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?
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.
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.
Blueprints of some of yer designs would also be clutch T-shirt material.
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?🤔
Can you use a higher count mesh with the printer? I’ve only seen people use 100
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
Buena iniciativa
Un saludo desde Barcelona España
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
I love the way you work very detail and teach us every step. Thank you love
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.....
You make it look so easy. Well done
That looks like so much nerdy fun. The prints look awesome🙂
Que lindo! Parabéns! Assistir seu vídeo é muito satisfatório
Did the screen reusable or we should buy new one for every new project ..??😊
So cool! 😊👍
