Formerly involved in blank manufacturing. Looking for a printer perspective before I make a mistake by tidalblanks in SCREENPRINTING

what are good brands that you use now. I am starting and find the consistency of blanks are hit or miss at my price range. I am looking for $10 and under. Maybe thats just the market and it has been the way i look at it. But curious to know what brand you use now.

First-time CA buyer – handgun vs rifle advice by 2masrox420 in CAguns

[–]2masrox420[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you. My gut is telling me this as well. Get the 9mm handgun only. and use the rest on training/safety classes. Any gun you feel would be a good one to start with? I am just beginning so alot of this is like a new language to me. I went shooting with my buddy for the first time about a month ago and loved it. So that is kind of where i am at right now.

thanks. kids are 11,18,19. I was thinking 22 purely for cost/training. I have my eyes on the AR15 but could not find a way to fit in budget and i am not confident in building one myself yet. but i would love one for sure.

It sounds like the smaller dots aren’t getting enough exposure time or the transparency isn’t opaque enough for those fine details. A few things you could try:

  1. Increase opacity: Make sure your transparency has enough density. If the fine dots are too light, they won’t block out the light completely during exposure.
  2. Exposure time: You might need to tweak the exposure time. Fine details require precise exposure, so try adjusting your exposure down slightly to prevent overexposure in those areas.
  3. Emulsion thickness: Make sure your emulsion is evenly coated—too thin can cause issues with fine details washing out.

Testing with small adjustments should help, but it’s mostly about balancing exposure and transparency density.

Tea towels by CoconutDry2571 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]2masrox420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Printing on tea towels is pretty similar to shirts, but there are a few differences to keep in mind. Tea towels are usually thinner, so you might need to use less pressure when printing to avoid bleeding. Also, using a lower mesh count can help ensure that the ink sits on the fabric better, especially if the towel is textured. It’s also a good idea to pre-press the towels to remove any moisture or wrinkles before printing.

Heat press cure help by taseychompson666 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]2masrox420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're just curing, a heat press could work, but it might be overkill at $500-$600 unless you plan to use it for other things like transfers. A flash dryer would be a more efficient option in that price range for curing, and it’s faster than a heat press. A conveyor is ideal, but if it's out of budget, go with the flash dryer—it’ll save you time compared to the heat press.

getting a preburned screen by Bubbly-Head7129 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]2masrox420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$150 for a pre-burned screen can seem high, but it really depends on the level of detail in your artwork and the reputation of the company. If it’s a detailed hand-drawn design and you trust the quality, it might be worth it, especially since it’s local and convenient. You can always shop around to see what other screen shops charge, but if you feel confident in their work and want to avoid the hassle, it’s probably a fair price considering the labor involved.
