I am so torn right now. I can't tell if it's Cat's Pit or Cat Spit...
***** Well you're not the first ;) It's Catspit. One word. As in a Cat's hiss. Or Cat saliva. Thanks for watching.Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
nice
Thank you very much! I appreciate the support. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
@Margaret Sidique, Thank you, you're very welcome.
I've been wanting to screen print for a while! You make it look easy, so def gonna try.
thanks!
Neat, can't wait to use this! What I have been doing is: spraying the back of the handcut stencil on paper with adhesive spray, then waiting for tack, then laying it on my item, then pouncing with ink tamper!
Very cool. This should work much better ;) Good luck! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
And thank you for your videos!!! It is a real confidence booster to see someone so accomplished using methods that I have been using!! I'm self taught. You've also shown me a lot of tips and tricks that have made my life so much easier!! Thank you!!
Thank you! I appreciate the sentiment and you’re welcome. I’m so happy to hear you are learning from my videos. Nice! Thanks for letting me know and good luck :) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Truly amazing. These ideas are totally creative and when someone will see such concepts are on a t-shirt will become excited to have such t-shirt for wearing. Great video job!!
Thank you very much!! I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
My dad did it when i was younger, i remember he had a garage and i recognize all the tools and everything
Very cool. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Thanks! Glad you like my videos and I appreciate your support online :) You could do both the text and the wolf on the same piece of paper. The challenge is to find a font that will be able to be cut into a stencil. I do believe there is a font for Windows called “Stencil” that will create the old style stencil letters you can easily cut out. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
@Mengnan Wei Nice, thank you. Glad you enjoyed. My pleasure. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
No doubt you are an artist. Thanks for the videos and don't worry about those little slivers. I really do appreciate your effort.

omg dude! you just made the video of my life. after I asked you about the double stencil tshirt advice, I thouhgt to myself since im starting I shall buy a screen but use my paper stencils that I got on my giant binder, just to keep it cheap until i get up on my feet and can do professional jobs like you! thank you!!
SUBSCRIBED! Thank you so much, been looking for a good tutorial for stencil printing.
Thank you very much for teaching this wonderful art.
oh thank god, i found a useful tutorial. I've been searching for days for a tutorial that doesn't use exposure stuff. thank you
LOL… Glad I could help ;) Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment, please rate thumbs up and subscribe if you already haven’t. Thanks for your support!
Hello, do not speak English, I live in Brazil, but I understood everything, I have the notion of silk, with this technique will be able to explore more art
Congratulations!
@DigitalInkArts Thanks! Yeah a lot of people use plotter cut vinyl to make stencils or even film positives. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
@twocanplayatthat Thank you very much! I’m glad you like this one so much. I think I could easily do a dozen at least. A heavier more waxy paper should work best but it’s always better to be on the thin side I think. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
One tip with the acetate sheets, is do not leave the ink to dry, wash it straight off after you done your line of prints.If you leave it to dry it makes the stencil curl up completely and you can no longer use it again.If you wash it straight off you can let it dry on a table flat.I have done some very intricate stencils, some have taken me days to cut out, only to have them curl up in a few hours lol very annoying indeed.Thank you once again for your help and advice, you make great videos!
Thanks! That’s awesome. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠
I can't believe this works so well. Thanks for the money saving idea.
You’re very welcome, my pleasure. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Thanks for your helpful demo and hints. It will assist in my efforts to show some young students how to do paper stencil art for their beginner lessons just to get them interested and see how we go from there.

So many ways to screen print. This paper stencil vid was fun, thanks!
It's my pleasure to help out where I can. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
I'm trying to start my own tshirt business and your ideas, just saved me tons of money. Thank you for showing your videos.
+Diana L You're very welcome. Glad I could help out through my videos :) Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
+CatspitProductions By the way, how do I clean the mesh screens if I want to use a different stencil.?
+Diana L If you mean how to remove emulsion, you'll need a pressure washer and emulsion remover to do that. But for a paper stencil situation you can remove the paper and clean with the appropriate solvent for your inks.
Great Video! I am a silk screen novice and will be starting off small with my little embroidery hoop. I learned a lot by watching this video! Thanks much
Thank you, you’re very welcome. Glad I could help and good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting!
i always enjoy watching your tutorials... they help me brush up. im from kingston jamaica and im an airbrush artist for the from the age of 17 thats about 10 years now and a screen printer for 3 years...
Glad I could help. Good luck! Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

Thank you SOOOOOOO much, I hate working with emulsion and need to make a few shirts, this was very helpful
You’re very welcome. Glad I could help. Good luck! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you very much, I enjoy teaching the basics. The beginners are the most fun to work with. I use plastisol inks. But there are many screen printing inks for the different substrates being printed. They vary not only on color but on application. Thanks much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
Thank you very much. And you are welcome; I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and learned from it. Paper stencils would actually be considered an old school technique and in fact harks back to the basic principles of using a stencil to print with. They say the first stencils ever used were made with banana peels. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Thank you very much! I’m very happy to hear that you enjoy my videos. Great idea in working with the stencil cut out parts. You certainly can be creative by using all parts of the stencil with different colors. Thanks for the input. LOL... slivers suck. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
@whencani1597 No problem, my pleasure to help out. Stenciling is an art in itself I think. Pretty cool stuff. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Thanks for the video. I am looking to start a small biz with my sons. Screen printing has always been something I have wanted to try. Looking to start out small and simple so, I think your videos are a big help to me.
@BreeXDestruction You’re welcome! Thanks, it’s nice to hear this video helped you out so much. A lot of people have requested paper stencil videos so I like to please. It’s great for fine art, hobbyists, school projects and kids’ activities. Plus it’s just plain fun to do. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Appreciate you taking the time to explain things and make this video. Crystal clear info. Cheers.

Very good video. And don't worry about making an error. It makes the video more interesting and educational.
Speedball water based textile inks are hobby inks suitable for printing a few shirts here and there. If you get really good with water based ink printing I’m sure they would work fine. But I have not used those since college. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
This is a great tutorial, and very simple. Thank you

These paper stencils produce amazing results in terms of sharpness of edges; as good or better than what's possible with burned-in emulsion screens. I tried this for screen printing some large block letters (all straight lines), using a new razor blade guided by a ruler to cut the paper stencils, and I couldn't believe how good the print came out; it almost looked like I'd stuck die-cut letters onto the shirt.
With the best quality emulsion, a 100% opaque film positive printed at an extremely high resolution, a good exposure unit which completely eliminates light scatter between the emulsion and the film positive, and a high mesh count screen, you might be able to match the sharpness you can get with a simple hand-cut stencil and an ordinary 110 mesh screen. The hand-cut stencil inherently has razor sharp edges, so you automatically bypass all those things which can go wrong and give you less-than-sharp edges when burning in a screen. Plus the sharpness of the integrated stencil of a burned-in screen is limited by the mesh count and by the resolution of the printer used to make the film positive. Hand-cut stencils bypass such limitations, and effectively have infinite resolution, because hand-cutting a paper stencil is a 100% analog process.
It's too bad that hand-cut stencils are so limited with regard to complexity of design for which they can realistically be used, but in the case of simple designs for which they are suited, I doubt the quality of the print can be beaten by any other method.
Paper stencils are very cool but they are not quite as capable as emulsion stencils. And with garments where we are printing on a porous knitted surface we lose resolution inherently in the process. With the proper experience and set up a screen printer should be able to outperform a paper stencil with emulsion easily. Graphic screen printing does very technical work printing membrane switches and electronics. Other precision materials are produced with emulsion stencils and stainless steel mesh. These are situations in which they would measure mesh tension, elongation, stencil distortion and measurement precision. Plus with a paper stencil, unless you use a plotter, corners or angles and curves are very difficult to achieve cleanly. But a paper stencil can do a lot and is very powerful when you know how to use them. There are some famous artists who use only paper type stencils. Thanks for watching.

Most of this is just academic, because at the extreme end it involves things you can't see with the naked eye, but the point is, a hand-cut stencil can give you ~perfect results without needing to know anything more than how to use an X-Acto knife and a ruler. To get ~perfect results with an emulsion stencil, you need specialized equipment and knowledge, and even if you have those things, you can still get bad results. For example, I have a screen printed T-shirt made by a somewhat large screen printing company (they have been in business for several decades and have a couple dozen employees, including a secretary and a guy who only does artwork), and it has "sawtooth" edges on the angled straight lines and curves. Here's a picture:
i.imgur.com/zYhJI2q.jpg
By comparison, here is a picture of the shirt I screen printed yesterday using a hand-cut paper stencil, and it was literally the first time I've ever screen printed anything (yes, it is a bootleg, but it is a one-off only for myself):
i.imgur.com/9gLmAAq.jpg
The most precise methods of making an emulsion stencil could only ever hope to equal the sharpness and straightness of lines you can get with a hand-cut stencil. With a high-quality steel ruler, an ultra sharp blade, and an ideal material for cutting the stencil out of, a straight line cut on a stencil is straight down to a microscopic level (ordinary typing paper wouldn't be the most precise stencil material possible, something like vinyl would be better, though paper is plenty precise for a T-shirt), even if it was cut at an e.g. 45 degree angle.
A CNC plotter inherently can't make as perfect lines at an angle as you can by hand, guided by a straight edge, because it is digital, and works on a grid (it can, however, make perfectly straight horizontal and vertical lines, due to the nature of a grid). They may look straight to the naked eye (which of course, is all that generally matters), but under magnification you'd see the "stair-stepping" it had to do to make an angled line. The exact same thing applies to digital printers (e.g., inkjet, laser). So any emulsion stencil which was made from a film positive which was created on a digital printer will be limited by the stair-stepping on angled lines and curves. A stencil cut out by hand with the help of a compass, ruler, and other traditional drafting tools will have no such limitations.
MaximRecoil In my opinion emulsions are easier to work with than paper stencils when it comes to shirts. There's no debate really, sorry. Emulsions will blow away paper stencils, trust me. I do know what I am talking about with screen printing. And unless you're some kind of perfect robot I believe there are many plotters that will cut a stencil or other materials for that matter better than anyone can do by hand. Saw toothing is a problem of the bridging characteristics of the emulsion in relation to the solids content. This can be caused by a poor emulsion, incorrect mesh count, improper exposures, improper washout, and incorrect mesh preparation. Mesh to emulsion adhesion issues may also be a simple cause of this. The inkjet printed film positive is not a big concern. That is a common misnomer in screen printing with beginners. You don't need a high resolution printer to get a great film positive. The small stepping of a digital print does not translate to screen. It would have to be visible to the naked eye to possibly show up on screen. In fact I can take rough edged art and often it will translate fine to screen especially on a 110 or 125/70 depending on how bad it is.There are many, many reasons emulsion blows away paper stencils in all aspects. And yes in resolution too. You just have to know what you are doing. You don't necessarily need anything special. But to each his own :)
+MaximRecoil I'm sorry I don't really have time to debate a fact with you. I'm here to teach and if you don't understand what I am telling you I cannot really help you. Emulsion stencils will out perform paper stencils in every way. If you don't trust me ask another screen printer who has 20 plus years of experience.

Here is another print that I just did today with a hand-cut paper stencil (plastisol ink, 110 mesh screen, "hit-flash-hit", just as I learned from your videos), and I superimposed a screenshot of another one of your prints in the upper left-hand corner:
i.imgur.com/KgsHRzb.jpg
Which one has straighter lines, mine or yours? Please give an honest answer.
Thank you! That was so fun to watch! I've never screen printed before, but this looks like it could be tweaked for home (aka super amateur!) use.
You're very welcome. Thank you. This is something everyone can do I think. It's a basic stenciling process. Have fun ;) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! www.catspitproductionsllc.com/ - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

I think I would tape the paper to the screen to avoid the lines. :) I like this method. I'm starting to do screen printing and this may help me dive in. As the emulsion method I'm not comfortable with yet! Practicing today. Thanks for the videos!!
+huttomomof3 Yes, a bit more tape would have done it. Don't be afraid of emulsion and scoop coaters. You can do it. It just takes a little practice. You're welcome. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Thanks! Sorry I have not printed Plastisol transfers in a long time and I don’t have the stuff to do it. If I ever took a job for it I might make a video. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
Definitely helpful this will save me a lot of headaches for being a first timer
Awesome, glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
thanks for being so generous with your knowledge. great energy.
Great video! Thank you very much for doing these for us.It really helps to see someone else going through the step of doing screen printing with paper or card stencils.How many t shirts do you think you could get out of one stencil? I have been trying out different cards and came across a wax coated card, which they told me in store was good for printing as it lasts a lot longer because it's waxed.I have tried 'acetate sheets' which works well but takes longer to cut out.
Great video! I watched your others and you are always really thorough, I appreciate that.
I’ll let you know when I can resell it... LOL ;) Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
Powerful tips! Great! I really learned with this video!

Many thanks mate !
Steves Projects My pleasure :)
Thank you. I don’t see it as a mistake since it does demonstrate how the paper stencil works and blocks the ink ;) Thanks much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
Great video. Now i finally understand how to do a stencil.
You’re welcome. My pleasure to help out. I used normal copy paper to do these with plastisol inks. I found the thinner the paper the better the print but also if the paper had a waxy or glossy finish that would be good. You know, you want the paper to resist soaking in the ink some. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
I'm really new to screen printing so, if you can't reuse the paper stencils, for small clothing brands that screen print their own shirts, what stencil do they use for their tees ? (Since I'm guessing that paper stencils only last one time thats really tedious to use so much paper and create the same graphic lol)
Probably a direct liquid emulsion stencil. Check out my other videos. They are all about screen printing. I have a playlist for screen making. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

Hey there, sorry for the late reply but I have been so busy printing and keeping up with all of my internet duties. Thanks, glad you liked the video, making screens with direct emulsions is ,one of the hardest parts of the process to learn. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Thanks for your videos. They are very clear and informative.
Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Thanks for the video. Never thought to do screen printing like this.
Great videos. Loving your work.
Marcus Brown Thank you very much, I appreciate your support! Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
what you can do is get some scrap paper (like newspaper) and put it around the edges of the stencil before you put the screen down, then, when you print, you don't have to worry about missing the stencil. I still use the tape, its just added protection for shirts. Great Video!
very excellent simple and no one is laughing at you! very informative!
Thank you! This is the easy way to screen print I think. I used copier paper. Anything heavy enough to not get soaked by the ink you’re using should work. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

Did you skip into the middle of the video? Because I cut the stencils in the beginning. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Thanks man! I dig a man that has a job with no shoes. Seriously, I am jealous bro.
Hi thank you for that tutorial!! Does the ink show thru the inside of the shirt using this method? I'm not asking if in seeps thru to the other side that's why you put something in between the shirt but when I'm printing I hate how I can see the ink (especially black ink on white shirts) in the inside of the shirt. Any tips?! TIA!
Jenny Rubio Martinez You’re very welcome. Glad I can help out through my videos. With plastisol inks that does not happen often. But with water based inks, which are thinner, that can happen. You can try using a higher mesh count or use less pressure in your flood and stroke. Print results are severely affected by the flood and stroke. Thanks for watching.

Great video- thank you very much for taking the time to share your skill!
You're very welcome. :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
That can work. I used regular letter size here. Thanks so much for watching and dropping me a note. ☠
Love this.... i am going to do this as a hobby after i am finish with my master.
Yes, ideally I would use a bit heavier paper and maybe waxy some. That would help out along with a larger size for bigger prints. Some people use acetate and reuse it but it may be a little harder to cut. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
