While I continue weaving my T-shirt from scratch, I thought it would be helpful to find out how the Experts at Franklin University Design House screenprint images onto clothing.

I'm a graphic designer, and i've designed t-shirts before but never seen the other side of how that's made so this video is pretty awesome.
As someone who owns a print shop, You should know we hate people like you.. No offense.. lol
Same. I still don't understand how a shirt with multiple colors can have each screen line up perfectly.
@Matt Frazier - they use the machine that he was spinning around. Each screen is for a different color. The t-shirt gets lightly glued in place, so it doesn't move, and then the screens spin around to automatically line up and be printed one at a time.
@@mattfrazier3115 To continue from Erin's comment, there is also an alignment mark left on the screens, so that they can be lined up with the previous colors. This is in all printing that uses multiple colors, such as cereal and medication boxes. If you look at the end flaps, there is usually a compass or X pattern that you can see the progressive build up of the colors. There is actually a shot of such a mark @9:16
@@mattfrazier3115 that's why registration marks are key. Also we have micro adjustments. They help us fine tune the placement.
My dad is a retired shirt printer, I used to help him with all of this. It's nice to see how shirt printing is a little bit different from what we do here.
Actually, the ink experiment was really cool. Meanwhile, "this thing is like a relic. I mean, like from the '80s!" hahaha
I took graphic design in high school. We had some equipment that was "new" at the time. I'm pretty sure the one in this video is newer. We also had screen printing equipment that was from the 1950s that still worked perfectly fine.
It's a screen printing press, if it's well maintained, it doesn't matter how old it is - it's the same basic tech now as when modern photo-sensitive screen printing was refined in the 1920s!
80's were 30-40 years ago. Back in 1960, 1920 probably was seen as ancient. :P
guess that makes me a relic :D
That guy rocking the Donut Media merch is a legend
Pry printed it
"Did you mean today"
Yes donut media
Can't wait to see Car Throttle merch next
Been here since 300k subs! Keep up the great work!
I never knew how the screens were made. Great video. The answer to the question is red, green and blue.
I worked at a silk screen tshirt shop for years, and mostly this process was covered properly. Would have been neat if you showed how multiple colour designs are printed, as well as shirts need to be properly cured to withstand wear - Flash curing it under a quick dryer doesn't completely cure the ink. There are also water based inks that bleach the shirt into different colours, and you can't even feel the ink after!
Andrew Barker we were pressed for time.... but you’re right. We were hoping this would help bring a basic knowledge or understanding of screen printing out there. And, maybe inspire some to get into printing.
We made a 4 color print to create patches and shorts for our paintball team 25 years ago. We did it in my garage. Seemed like a less went into making ours, frame included. Awesome video!
The colors are Red, Green, Blue. (Unless you have a Sharp Aquos, then yellow is also included! We do. LoL)
Vulcan_GoF that’s how I started printing. With way less equipment and in my apt basement.
Love it!
Also Answer: Red, Green and Blue
Used to help a dude who had a company and I would make punk band buttons for him. He sold shirts,music, patches etc.. Seen him use that old relic machine you mention. It was pretty cool, i brought in basic black sweater i bought and he silkscreened the band i wanted on it so it was 1 of a kind since he only sold shirts. Had over 100 screens of various bands.
Red, green, and blue. This really helped me with my Final in art class
Keep up the amazing work! :D
Answer: Red,Green,Blue
At the print shop I studied and designed at we actually had the emulsion they used in already made sheets that we would tape the print on top of, and then we would wash the design out since it didn't harden. I never new that it came as a liquid you could apply yourself! Very cool video!
James Sloth I never knew it came in sheets! I want to check that out!
Video was LIT! Learned a lot. Oh, and Red, Green, & Blue
Red blue green! I am s happy to see an upload.
This one feels a lot like older HTME videos in a way, understandably so given the circumstances.
The colours in my screen are Red, Green and Blue, although one could concievably make a screen that uses other colour or even just two colours as some early colour film methods as well as some very early picture tubes did.
Red, Blue, and Green. Love this channel!
Hometown boys keep killing it! Red, Green, and Blue, dontcha know.
Probably the best opening to any episode ever
Its Red, Green and blue light.
Awsome video😊
Great Video, thanks! 5:51 very cool one ink white/grey image you are wearing!
Red, Green, and Blue! Great video! Looking forward to seeing Andy try printing on his own stuff.
Red green blue, hope you keep uploading these amazing videos
Love your videos
Answer: RED BLUE and GREEN
Red Blue And Green you're content is da best keep it up
Red green and blue! Awesome video
Thanks for sharing insight of this interesting process.
It's fun to see the colors in the black ink. Whereas the black on a screen is the absence of color. The answer is RGB: Red, Green, and Blue. Which is crazy to think how the correct levels of red and green together trick our mind into seeing yellow, still blows me away.
Red green and blue great vid guys
Wow! Wooh. ..all the way back to the 80's. Like, .. DAMN!
Red blue and green. Great video
In the late 1980's, I worked my first screen printing job on on Bertha's grandparents at an old Mom & Pop shop, in business since the 60's. These people never spent another dime on equipment and all of the frames were bowed and had multiple repairs. But the heads on that old press had a lot of pitch and could cinch a wonky frame pretty close to flush. Sigh. Never thought I'd be nostalgic for that thing
Really enjoyed the video. Love you xx
I am a part time screen printer at my job. We have larger 40"×50" screens that I use. It is really fun. We just don't do a lot of it.
at my previous shop we had screens that were almost 5 feet tall xD we only used them for one customer but had to custom make them with wood frames
Why’d you have to do it?
@@juliusroman8616 Not sure I understand. Do what? Print? To make money...
I meant why does your job make you print stuff on shirts?
@@juliusroman8616 oh. I actually print on plastic. The main thing I print is Rite In The Rain covers. They are one of our customers.
great beginning
So cool. You can do so much DIY!
R:ed
G:reen
B:lue
is what makes my screen
Red green and blue are the bases for monitors and cellphone screens, because their combination form a large spectrum of light with different collors
Great video.. researching for a near future endeavor.
0:39 Dave-flavored Danwich
I love you videos! You guys have inspired me to do so much! As a kid i dont have the ability to do all the things you do but i dream of one day where i can. I love science and engineering but my faverat is probably chemistry. To anser your question RED GREEN AND BLUE are used on computer screens.
The answer is Red, Green and Blue.
Btw gonna try silk screen printing my own shirt next weekend.
These guys werent the best to show off how amazing silk screen printing really is, ive been teaching it for a few years now and some of the experimentation with it is absolutely fascinating
Right! They seem like kids who took an art class in college and started printed a year ago without much knowledge of the industry.
@@draxgoodall3685 Someone sounds a little salty. But I agree. There's a lot more that could have been shown in the video. Though I'm kinda fascinated of how clean all their equipment is. Must be very well taken care of or brand new.
@@gentleman6327 I'm only "salty" because videos like this are all over youtube and dont give and accurate portrayal of printing. I've been in this industry for years and have seen so many people get the wrong idea because of these types of videos.
A lot of these guys are fresh outta college. You gotta give them credit for risking everything and setting out on their own path and not submitting to someone else’s dream. We can’t possibly go over every part of screen printing in one video. I wish industry people like you would get involved in youtube and grow and share with the print community. If you want this art form to survive you have to share your knowledge. I’d encourage you to take part and help educate. But I doubt you have the guts and probably lack the motivation.
Cool video I love them keep it up
It's Red, Green, and Blue these are the colors that make up most colors on screens. I love getting and seeing a new video of HTME keep it up.
So are we gonna be able to get that design on a shirt?
Red, green and blue are the light colours used in the pixels we view; that's why the connector for connecting a new device to a monitor used to be called the "RGB cable". Nowadays, we typically use HDMI instead, which is to RGB what gigabit internet is to a 56k modem, basically.
For the diy printing you could either see if you can make a thin film of plastic from something or maybe make paper and then coat the paper to make it water resistant and then cut your stencil from it
Red green and blue. Love the content and I actually learned something new today, I didn’t know how you printed on shirts.Keep up the good work!👏🏼
You guys are pretty cool, red green and blue make up colors on computer monitors. Cool fact, OLED panels which are more common on smartphones still use red green and blue but have two green sub pixels and then one for red and blue each.
Red, Blue, and Green
That where RBG comes from.
It’s Red, Green, Blue RGB
Great vid
1:42 Nice Donut Media shirt you got there buddy
A monitor or TV screen generates three colors of light (red, green, and blue) and the different colors we see are due to different combinations and intensities of these three primary colors. Each pixel on a computer screen is composed of three small dots of compounds called phosphors surrounded by a black mask.
RGB monitors use red, green and blue colors, aligned as subpixels in different configurations depending on the approach that can light up and are packed so tightly together that they emit a color that is perceived as a solid color to our eyes.
Red blue green, love the content guys, keep it up for sure
The three colors combined to make the colors on my computer screen are red, blue, and green. You can see this in action if you open up Photoshop, and see the different layers of colors in the "channels", and how these three layers combine to make full-color digital images.
Hi I am trying to use screen printing logo on other material, like copper.
One question other than screen printing inks, can we use sharpie or spray paint ? Will those ink penetrate through the screen and settle on the material?
Well it actually depends o nyour monitor/tv that you're viewing but it's either RGB(Red Green Blue) or RGBY (Red,Green, Blue Yellow) due to the fact that a lot of manufacturers add a yellow pixel as well which vastly improves video quality. However the standard is RGB. This is done by broadcasting 3(or 4) monochrome colors which when blended at a rapid succession shows up to the human eye as RGB(Y)
Red, Green, and Blue 👍🏻 love this channel, everything is so fascinating
The colors are red, blue and Green. But it also deepends on the screen, and what lights they use. For an example tv screens that are newer tend to have smaller pixels ans includ the color yellow and black in there. The black is so the color from the other pixels dont flood into the "turned off" pixled when your watching something while old tvs dont have black and yellow pixels.
This is the first time Andy works clean and neat.. Hahahah
Pretty cool
Red, Blue, and Green. I learned this at a computer summer camp
To get the colours on the screan we nead red, green and blue. When thay are all mixed they make white otherwise they can be combined to make any other colour
Our display consists of many pixels, each consisting of a red, a blue and a green light. Since light follows the additive color mixing this screen can display every possible color.
I wondered about this... recently I've made a few shirts through much more primitive techniques. I used the old freezer paper iron on method with fabric paint to make my son a Heimerdinger t-shirt. I had to cut out every piece with an Xacto knife. But as time consuming as it is, it's way cheaper than legit screen printing or buying a licensed shirt, plus my son likes long sleeves, so that's my method. And before anyone asks, it's legal if I'm not selling them. I just made one for my son for Christmas. I think I'm okay to do that.
Bee Whistler those are fun! It was stuff like that that motivated me to keep making shirts!
Hey boys at hme, teach people how to make Fiber from recycled plastics! I want to know how!
Yes
Yes.
Your screen traditionally contains red, green, and blue sub-pixels. However, depending on your monitor, you may have a yellow sub-pixel, or a white sub-pixel. These are generally reserved for graphic design monitors due to their cost and little noticeable difference to the everyday user.
Red, Green, & BLUE!

Thread count for graphic tees.. that was interesting to know! Red,Blue and Green..
great first try, but you generally don't wanna go back and forth with the squeegee like that... the only time i do that is if my registration on a 2 color image is being especially stubborn xD that's a good way to smear your image if you're doing more than one shirt
When you forget to add trapping and your underbase is showing. Such a handy little trick.
Great video. The colors are red blue and green.
Screen graphics are a result of combining RGB - Red Green & Blue. Printing on paper on the other hand requires CMYK - Cyan, Magenta and Yellow as colors and a bit of "black" for contrast (there is no black, nor cake!).
DataMatrix47 there is no cake classic!!! Lol
Blue, green, and red!
red green blue these are the subpixels that make up the white light when all colours are displayed on the screen at the same brightness.
Red, blue, and green!
The colors in a computer screen are red, blue and green with green having about x2 the number of LEDs due to our increased sensitivity to green light when compared to the other two colors
Red, green and blue!
GREEN,RED, and like my boy... BLUE!!! ;)
The three couloir combine are red blue and green
Red, Green and Blue light. these three colours can produce almost every unique colour on the viewable spectrum.
RED, BLUE, GREEN. Yay chemistry and HTME!
Red green and blue !
RBG ofc!

@donutmedia he is wearing your shirt!!! James!!!
The Dan introductions Reminded me of sponge bob “I’m dirty dan!”
“No I’m dirty dan!”
Red, Green and Blue. This is because our eyes have cone cells that are receptive to red, green and blue. Interestingly, purple isn't actually a real colour, but indigo and violet are. This is because the combination of light made from stimulating the cone cells creates a colour that isn't actually there on the spectrum.
Red Green Blue!!
The colors are red,blue,green. I remember being little and look at my grandpas TV and being able to see those little colored lines in his tv
Red, green and blue baby! Can't wait to see the final product!
Red green and blue are the base colors of a LCD screen!
Red,green,blue👌
Red, Green, Blue!
RBG Red Blue Green
Those are the 3 colors the make up the images
If anyone wants to replicate that ink experiment, just put a sample of the ink you want to separate on filter paper (coffee filters) just above one of the edges of the paper. Submerge the closest edge in water and watch as water is sucked up through the paper. It passes the ink mark and separates the colours. They used this technique to identify if letters were written by the same pen in the old days. Enjoy

Also this was a really nice video and it was super cool seeing the whole process being completed and all the guys seemed really cool!
You screen is called a LCD it's not made of LEDs
@@PokeMurp My AMOLED phone screens panel isn't LCD. :c
It's still a type of LCD
