This looks awesome. Love the video. So one question: how would you do a combination of water-based ink with foil? What would be the best way to handle the curing and what would the process look like? I was thinking that you would put the glue for the foil on the same head as the water based inks, maybe do wet on wet for inks. But what would the process look like to do a combination of foil and inks together and how would you cure it? I’m trying to find a way where I don’t have to pull my shirt off the plat losing the registration so maybe I could even do foil on top of water-based inks even better. I have both a flash dryer and a conveyor dryer.
Great video. On the distressed foil technique, is the HD clear tacky enough or would it be better to run it through the dryer at a gelling temp of 275 degrees and then dab the foil? Post cure on the heat press to mash the crinkled foil into the clear and cure it.
Very cool ! Two questions : First, are you running them back through the dryer after applying the foil and secondly, where are you purchasing that foil ! Thank you
Thanks! For the first technique yes, you apply the foil on press and then send the shirt through the dryer. But for the second technique, the "Tap Technique" you run the garment through the dryer and then apply foil while it is still nice and hot. After you apply the foil you can run it back through the dryer to ensure it is properly cured, but there really isn't a need for this. If you check the description of this video there is a link to Amagic Textile Foil on our website. There are many color options to look through.

I want to know why my foil is not adhering completely to my clear base when I go to cure it? Do I need to cure it first before I apply the foil and then cure it again?
How how was it when it came out of the dryer before you did the dab technique? In my screen printing class the ink comes out at around 300° f. Is that hard enough for the dab technique to hold foil! Sorry for so many questions but this is so cool!
How does it hold up in the was so far? I am new to screen printing and I am actually taking the class for it. I want to try this in my class. Does it have to be clear
@@GraphicSolutionsGroup I have a question that I don't know if anyone can answer but you. Like I had mentioned I am new to screen printing and I am actually taking a class at my community college but I thought of something that I'm not sure I can try at school. Can you screen print over vinyl? I know that's a weird question but if so can you make a video doing it?
@@masterprinter5029 You can print vinyl, such as used for signs or decals but will need to use ink specifically for vinyl application. You cannot print on vinyl used for textile (Siser) application.
I've looked all over your site for what you are calling HD clear but nothing comes up as that, it only comes up with HD additive! Is this the same?

Best Tutorials Always👍...
Glad you think so!

@@GraphicSolutionsGroup Thank you!
@@celticmandoplayer You are very welcome!
So Cool!!!!
Hi can i know the technique of this method?
At about 1:40 you can see the two techniques used to apply the foil.
Which material you use to screen printing ( means which solution or glue or paint)
We use Plastsol ink. For this tutorial we use HD Clear and AMagic foil.
I want to know why my foil is not adhering completely to my clear base when I go to cure it? Do I need to cure it first before I apply the foil and then cure it again?
Foil Adhesive must be cure first before foil is applied with a Heat Press, no need to cure the ink again after foil is applied.
Is there any other way to do this withouth the screenprint paint
Is there any way to use foil without screen printing? Yes. We have a video on this channel on how to use it with HTV. Check it out!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
Did u use the super bond or stretch base adhesive ?
We used HD Clear to apply the foil on the shirts.
How how was it when it came out of the dryer before you did the dab technique? In my screen printing class the ink comes out at around 300° f. Is that hard enough for the dab technique to hold foil! Sorry for so many questions but this is so cool!
That should be hot enough. We basically let it cook down a bit before foil. And we are more than happy to answer your questions. So feel free to ask!
Colors name
How many washes does it last?
It depends on how you wash it, but typically the shirt will last about 20 washes before it starts to breakdown.
How does it hold up in the was so far? I am new to screen printing and I am actually taking the class for it. I want to try this in my class. Does it have to be clear
The foil holds up great!
HD Clear works best, but you can use regular ink.

Can it be done with plastisol ink only?
Hey Luis!
You do not need to use Plastisol inks. You can also use water based printable adhesive for foil application.
@@GraphicSolutionsGroup can you do a demo with the water based foil application?
