Hooo man, thanks for sharing this with us, I'm from Brazil and I'm learning English to learn more about the print process with guys like you, thanks one more time.
@@CoryatFloodway Its the kind of look I'd go straight for in a shop...has a proper quality look to it. I'm about to buy a press....starting small out of nerves ..and lack of money lol...but if I get this far I'll definitely be giving it a go...thanks
Question, I'm new to the printing game and just landed a two color job simple and easy white base with some red lettering on top of the white. now after about three to five shirts the red bleeds out on to the white on the lettering, any help on how to keep it from happening ? love the videos BTW...any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for watching Marc. That problem is super tricky to diagnose without seeing a bit more of what's going on, so maybe shoot me a message on Instagram? Sounds like too much ink, though. Maybe an issue with the chosen mesh counts, the coating, or the squeegee technique as well.
Yes! I wouldn’t even really recommend a curable reducer. I’d say it’s important because clear base is more stable. A reducer is super thin typically and the finish can be glossy depending on the brand in my experience.
@@CoryatFloodway what brand and ink exactly did you use for this? Im familiar with plastisol soft hand clear by wilflex, but this sounds like a base used for mixing softer printed colors?
Sorry for the slow reply. This is ‘metallic clear base’ from Lancer. Not a reducer, just a clear ink that’s meant to add glitter into it. Not sure what the Wilflex equivalent is called but I hope that helps!
I'm very familiar with bases for water based (I'm an all WB shop) basses. I use clear and opaque core bases from Ryonet. Is this project using a plastisol base?
Yes this is all plastisol, they make a similar clear base for metallic glitters and stuff like that. Super similar to what you’d be adding pigments you for waterbased colours.

@@CoryatFloodway Great!
Great vid Cory, I loved printing tonal work. Easy to print, soft and breathable.
You nailed it! I feel like once this is on a clients’ radar they’re all over it too so it’s a win win!
Good stuff as always. Love the look of the process. Thank you for the share.
Thanks Jim!

Gotta start somewhere and screen printing is great because you can start super small. All you need to make a great print is a great screen. 👍🏼

Thanks for the vid, prints look great. I'm assuming it's important to use a clear base that is 100% curable as opposed to a regular reducer?
Yes! I wouldn’t even really recommend a curable reducer. I’d say it’s important because clear base is more stable. A reducer is super thin typically and the finish can be glossy depending on the brand in my experience.

What brand t-shirts are those?
Bella Canvas and Gildan Softstyle!
U can also just use gel brotha
thank you! I don't really have that in the shop, what else do you use it for?
@CoryFloodwayPrintCo it can be useful for foiling and also over laying it on another color for a glossy effect.
