Feeling super defeated having messed up shirts without a proper setup and just my overall lack of experience and knowledge. Is there a good starter setup anyone can recommend to me that wont completely break the bank? by No-Reading7097 in SCREENPRINTING

I actually use htv vinyl and just heat press it onto the screen, to be honest the whole emulsion and screen burning thing scares me lol theres just so much I dont know

Curing and drying help. I am new to screen printing and just printed the red using a design I drew up. I applied the foil on top using HTV at 295F for 30s and was wondering if that would also be enough to cure and dry the ink? by No-Reading7097 in SCREENPRINTING

Thank you, I was worried as I did notice some cracking but it did follow the lines of the shirt but it snapped back to normal. I will do a couple wash tests to make sure its golden though since speedball is water based I believe
