This is the simplest and best video on how to start screen printing I have ever saw. Dying to try this out.
It is good at first to understand the steps but definitely research every part In depth because one mess up and the entire design process is messed up for good with no redos.
Also, $60 to do all this is really misleading as hell lol. I can’t believe the tutorial tries to act like that’s all you need and you’re set. It’s enough for one tee shirt i guess
@@Gilbertify1 quit lying FOOL this is all you need, if not tell me what else i need.
kidding but no seriously ima rookie and i was hoping this was all i needed aside from a heat press,
your telling me i got to buy those 15,000 machines for screen printing or can i get away with using cheap stuff.
Yeah it is
I agree. The majority of all screen printing videos are super complicated and overwhelming to follow and understand. This was the simplest easy to understand screen printing video.
Gotta be a easier process. Because if you gotta do this for every design. Lid what happens to the smiley face design,
When I was working at a screen printing shop back in the day, it was largely the same process, just geared toward bigger orders. So, the materials, and equipment were slightly different/more robust. We use sheet emulsion on the screens. We had an industrial arc lamp, and vacuum table to burn the screens. The basement was set up to prep screens for burning, and for reclaiming screens if we we're expecting more shirt orders from that job. We had single, two color, and four color stations, and later added an automatic press that was capable of 8 colors. Of course, there was a wall with all of the various inks we used. A Pantone guide was essential for mixing colors to client specifications. Amazing to think that practically anyone can do this, really.
Love this video!
extra tip! After printing, seal ur design by putting parchment over it and ironing on a low setting for 30 seconds
I came here in hopes of finding a video that was simple + easy and the amount of detail you put into a 5 minute was more than I could ask for! Thank you!!!!!
These blueprint episodes are so awesome for people who are taking their first steps into design. Always love seeing these, your brand is a big inspiration for me. Looking forward to more as always 🙂❤️
I literally just started looking at screen printing today for designs we've had for a couple years. And I am so glad this was the first video I watched on how to stencil for sil screening. I was super overwhelmed in the 10 minutes before I found this. Thank you!
As a College student studying fashion hoping to start a t-shirt line by this summer, this video helped me soooooo much, straight fire fs!!
Hi Gabrielle, thinking of the same too. Geographically I am in Africa but politically in Kenya. Check my stuff out and I believe you will love them.
Best of luck!
did u?
we need an update gabrielle
did you start ?
I've been wanting to learn how to screen print for the longest so I can start to learn how to make cloths and you don't know how much this video helped me thanks everyone at chinatown market 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
thank you tek. 10 videos trying to find out what is happening in each stage and you showed it all. bravo sir
Love art and i love expression. I need that for artistic expression
Please more videos with Tek. He's so good and to the point when expanding screen printing.
Finally someone who knows what he's talking about and shows the whole process. Cheers!!
I never thought of applying a second colour that way!🤩
this is the BEST screen printing tutorial on youtube ever. props bro 💯
great for first timers, but there was one thing that he could have done to ensure it to always be a better print.... when applying the emulsion it needed to be applied none ink side and then ink side and not scoop off access on the non ink side because that is where it needed to be thickest.
Just an FYI.
Than you. You gave me so much hope. Because I am home right now rehabilitating hopefully for my future I'm no longer able to do the work I previously done but I am ready to get started but I didn't know how to get started because I didn't have the money right now for any equipment or machines. I am ready to get started with my ideas. Thank you. Although ever so humble very much appreciated.
In high school we had an easy way using screen material,rubber cement, and the three colors red, yellow and blue.
I thought silkscreening was for kids but many years after high school the people in the suite next to me were doing really super professional silk screens.
I’ve had a couple failed attempts with my screen printing but this vid is givin me hope
I have come back to say that I’m final all screen printing!
so stoked on trying this process, it reminds me of developing a film photo in the dark room.
Like this guy very much laid back but not loud, cool but not over the top… Wonderful!
Tek voice so soothing. Love it!!!!!
I’ve been meaning to get into screen printing for a while, this is so dope!
That scraping sound gives me goosebumps.
I didn’t know how to make a screen for screen printing and now I do, thank you CTown Market🙌

I’m actually starting like a little clothing brand (got inspiration from you and some other brands) with screen printing and this was like perfect timing thanks ChinaTown Market!
Love seeing more people get into the art of silkscreening
Thanks for explaining the process so clearly. The process to "burn" the screen is surprisingly similar to how that green color (called solder mask) is added on printed circuit boards.
It's not hard to do. In fact its simple. You forgot to tell people to take the glass cover out of the light . You need a 600 watt light about 12 inches above and use for about 6 minutes only. You should see the things we make .you would not believe it .
it's so crazy how people misunderstand the whole light situation. first of all, it's different per emulsion. second, the light wattage isn't going to be super strict. none of it is. it's all going to be case sensitive. what's crazier is how people give up after like two tries. you can use all kinds of lights some longer than others guys but as some people find like crispychicken here certain lights may work better than others
@crispychicken2743 How can I access your products?
Its uv cureable though
Thanks for this video. Bringing me back down to earth. I was marveled at these laser machines having a screen printing attachment. It's still cool, but that's... pricey. I could definitely jump into screen printing doing this first!
Thank you 1000 times.
This is straight, simple and to the point.
I can't thank you enough.
Peace and love.👍👍👍
Thanks so much. Wasn't taught this in art school so I've been looking for this. Glad I found this.
how can this video so short but very informative in a fun way. seriously I watched longer video and learned nothing with their so complicated explanation. I know I'm late for this due to so many options to print nowadays. but i think I can still give a shot to this old method of printing. Thanks
Best video on screen printing! Super clean and simple! Thanks🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you!!!! You are simply the best!!! ❤❤❤
Holy Cow Thanks Tek! Funny, dun, short, concise, great use of sfx and music. I'm so glad I found your video 🥺🙌🏽
I worked at the largest screen printing manufacturer in Ohio for a few years and our darkroom had dark red lights. Not sure if it was a certain kind or just any red would do, but it is def a lot better than pure black.
man thank you! simple straight to the point best video to diy screen printing !
How ironic. I googled it and ended up here
I used to do that. We had a darkroom, drying station. Exposure room.
I needed this. It'll give me some motivation to finally setup my screen printing machine after a year :')
You are not alone my friend. Lol😂
Did you do it?
Bro this video needs to be in the millions because you broke this down so good
Hi Tek
Thank you so much for your video. I did my first screen this past weekend. I failed, I did my emulsion in the light. You helped me to try again next week. To do my emulsion in the dark. 👍👍
I learned how to do this in a 10th-grade art class at Berea High School in Berea Ohio in 1980!
I love this so much. Chinatown market honestly one of my favorite brands. You guys are killing it!
been wanting to make my own designs on jackets and this actually the easiest and greatest tutorial for beginner like me
This video is excellent. Quick and to the point. Great detailed directions. Great camera angles.
This was a very relaxed and simple way to describe the process. I appreciate you homie! Going to get the stuff this month
So simple yet cool. Thank you for this fun tutorial. God bless 🙏🏼🙂❤
Cool video, thank you!
Few questions: what's the blow dryer temperature? How bright is the lamp?
You need to make sure you're flooding properly, one clean flood. And then when it comes to printing, just keep one long sausage of ink/paint at the top then apply lots of pressure and print the design in one solid wipe down the screen. Notice the top right of your final print is blotchy and faint. It's because you let too much ink through the screen before you printed.
I know this was two years ago hopefully you’re still here😂you sound like you know about this stuff, how do I print a design onto the screen so I can make that? If I make sense lol, like he said you can print onto the see through paper? Will this work in any printer? I really want to start making T-shirts with my gf but I’ve been pretty confused
@@jamesjohno1180if you go to staples or something you can get transparent paper that you can run through an ink jet!!
I think he meant print on the see through foil and then the ink of the print will shield the screen from the light @@jamesjohno1180
Now I know how to screen print Spider-Man weblines! Thanks!
What color emulsion do you use? Does it matter? How dark should a room be when adding the emulsion? Can I use a uv light to burn the screen?
That's such a sick design, I legit thought it was a Futura design when I first saw the clip on Instagram!
This is absolutely the best video yet I’ve seen on silkscreen printing. Thank you SO much for sharing this!
I love how helpful they are to everyone
LOVE THE JOY IN THIS VIDEO!!!!
That’s so sick dude! Have to try this myself
How long did you blow dry the emulsion and was it cold or hot
Thanks for your easy simple video 🔥
So was that justca LED light or halogen?
Your voice is so soothing, I'm almost falling asleep 😽

I have trouble when it comes to washing the screen, I didn’t know if it was because of the pressure of the hose when washing it. Or if I left it exposing under the light too long. Or possibly the consistency of the emulsion. But when I go to wash it the emulsion around the design comes offf too
I have this same issue that why I came to this video for
noice 👍🙂 ty for the vid now time to make my own shirt 😁
Does it matter which type emulsion? There are several types on Amazon.
Do you have a video on how to use the vector image as a negative? Thanks
Did you find out which type emulsion is best?
Always wanted to screen print this would be an amazing way to start
How great to learn more about the geniuses who make this possible
This is too official! Soooo many ideas!!
Thanks for this tutorial! Really helpful. Just wondering my led lamp is 100W , how long should I expose the light? Some say 5 sec, 10 sec , up to 5 to 10 min... I’m really confused. Thanks for any help!
did you ever find out this answer? i’m searching…
Nice video, Tek. Really clear. Thanks for sharing.
