Have you ever printed on vinyl fabric? Aka “marine vinyl”. I used that same Speedball acrylic ink to print on some 6”x9” vinyl pieces that will be sewn into lined zipper pouches. It printed excellent and did not scratch off, better than two other inks I tried, but to test its durability, I sprayed some isopropyl alcohol on it and it cleaned off. Same reaction to degreaser. Is that going to be the case with any waterbased ink? From research, everyone is saying that I should use Nazdar 4700, and you had mentioned using Nazdar in the past. Nazdar is too expensive for a hobbyist printing 20-40 bags for merch. But If isopropyl alcohol/degreaser kills the dried ink either way, then I might just continue with the Speedball as i think it will last as long as no one gets degreaser on it haha which i think will be rare/uncommon. Followed your channel, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video. For someone who is new at screen printing poly mailers, do I have to get all the materials in the link? Or are they specific materials to start with? I appreciate your help! Thank you for your service.
I use a Epson 1430 which they do not sell anymore and I have the all black ink setup that is refillable. You can usually find these on offerup or craigslist for around $500 if you look really good. The printer allows you to print 13x19.
@@AliciaGarcia-nb2jv that's an excellent printer just remember to get blackout uv8 so that when you print your transparencies no light will go through the black
How can you do these in mass quantities. Like say I need 100 of them. How long would it take doing it this way? What is the fastest way to create custom poly's
Perfect thank you so much :) Is there another way to print on polys aside from screen printing them? Like I have some examples of what Im talking about and I am sure you have seen them all over amazon and upak n ship I am looking to print like that for mass and then custom print for my own business if that makes any sense lol
Is there a bag.... U can print on..... Like a thank you bag?. Want to print my own. Last ones I used the ink came off. And man the SMELL....wow! So that ain't happening again

Makes me wanna do screen printint to bulk sale polymailers lol
Awesome, i guess acrylic speedball could be used for plastic shopping bags too. Correct ?!
Great vid. Big help!
Just the video I needed. Thank you!
Thanks for the updated video appreciate it
How well does it hold up with shipping with weather, like heat, and rain, or sweating.?
Just tried it yesterday and an epic fail. I was able to be flakes off. Maybe I used to much ink. Does it need to be cured with light heat??
@@Chanellefifteen23 Same, I try doing it but it arrives to customers chipped and I feel like I wasted my time.
Great video. I wonder how well this would work on coroplast sheets. How are cleaning the screen and squeegee after you are done printing?
I took it straight to the washout booth and sprayed it down with water and then reclaimed right away no issues at all.

You could print 100 within an hour as long as you are having a place to lay them out.

I have never had any issues with it in the weather but I do let it cure I normally print the bags and let them set over night
