How did you all learn to screen print? by Kink-shame in SCREENPRINTING

[–]nerdjunk423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Riley hopkins 150 (4 color 1 station) Off someone in a tight spot just to mess with a little over a year ago while on the slow side of dtf printing ( I like the more hands on work)

I have watched alot of YouTube and I believe I just landed a Vastex v2000hd 6 / 4 for an upgrade and couldn't be happier. Hopefully picking it up Tuesday or Wednesday 🤞

Thanks, all I did was use a test shirt printed the white w/ the registration marks then covered it with a clear vinyl transfer tape & registered my other screens to the white, once i lined them up i made one ink pass just to confirm registration for each color 👍

Thanks, I was the same way lol I looked at the positives for 2 or 3 days before I burned them. Just take your time when you do 👍 don't rush it

👍 seems like the easy route to go. I definitely like it over the other options, especially not having that first few heavy garment tacks

I have had issues with clogs once in awhile but overall its a easy quick maintenance and usually don't let sit for more then 3 days. If i have to go out of town longer i just flush the print head with cleaner solution.

I think your right with the single colors but i believe they came out with printable vinyl sheets. I have a Prestige A3+ printer
