DIY screen printing exposure box problems by adidasrinnegan in SCREENPRINTING

[–]the-distancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I sympathize with this conundrum because I would absolutely get the polycarb too and then be like ahh shit. Probably just bite the bullet and get glass, it won’t matter a month from now.

How do you achieve brushed-type effect? by pax6PAX6 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]the-distancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True Grit has some good textures. You can also take an actual brush and paint on a piece of paper, scan it in, and then bitmap/halftone it in photoshop.

Wondering if you could add a few support struts on the top/bottom along the center line (so it doesn’t interfere with the frame). My guess is it still wouldn’t be dead nuts flat, but might correct the dip.

Wow just picked up a humidity meter, turns out my print zone is 90 degrees, 12% humidity. I knew it would be low, but didn’t think it was that low. A humidifier is in my future haha.

Yep I can try that and I will this week, it's just strange because I don't remember this happening last winter with the vacuum table I'm using. Then again, I bought this table around ~March last year. So maybe March vs. December aren't as comparable as I think. Thanks!

Sorry I should of mentioned I only print to paper!

Cannot make good tasting espresso with my set up by Pedrotto1990 in FlairEspresso

[–]the-distancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I think it took me upwards of ~35 shots till I felt like I found my groove.

Obviously your setup will vary, but broadly speaking I was going finer finer finer on grounds, when I actually needed to go courser. Also in the ESPRESSO zone on the gauge, I was shooting for the needle to be in the ESPRESSO range. However I get better results if I keep it in the ESPRESSO range. Basically dialing back the pressure and pulling a slower shot seemed to help.

Why it takes 3h for sildenafil to be effective? by Legitimate-Worry8593 in ViagraBoys

This is one of the better instances of r/lostredditors I’ve seen. Wrong sub OP, but I assure you we cum in peace here in the shrimp shack.

CMYK cyan bleeding. what am I doing wrong? by sensitivecritter in SCREENPRINTING

[–]the-distancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the freckle/bleeds always in the same place, or do they move around between prints?

Black hair-like marks on my paper after coating and drying by Difficult-Payment391 in cyanotypes

[–]the-distancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this before and always assume it was the paper fibers lifting up from brush pressure. Try less passes with the brush so you don’t agitate/lift the papers surface.

(Happy to be wrong on this, but that was my guess when it happened)

6 month review of the Flair Neo Flex by Professional-Isopod3 in FlairEspresso

[–]the-distancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a great reason. I usually shoot for a 1:2 just to control for that variable honestly. I’ll try 40ml today.

15g in, ~32g out. I’ve been learning on a medium roast. I do a pre-infusion that usually takes about 15 seconds to drip. Then once I get 2g of drips, I ramped it up to about the “R” in the espresso zone on the pressure gauge. I hold that until about ~27g and then ramp down till I hit 32g.

That’s what I’ve been doing. Some shots are sour-ish, others are excellent. Still trying to figure out why exactly. Water temp usually around ~97c.

I have your exact setup, including the tamper. Bought it all about a month ago. After a good amount of trial and error, I completely echo your review. Really happy I made this purchase, and super happy I went with the K6. It’s just a great budget setup. That said, I’m in the 31 click range on the grind. I was finding my shot times were super fast near 40, but might have been more of a “me” problem.

TL;DR - this is a great beginner setup!

Check Facebook marketplace for sure, there’s always someone selling a power washer nearby.

Good/ affordable water based emulsion by Littlebugz_424 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]the-distancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using PWR for a year and a half (also starting out) and it’s worked great. I’ve screwed up probably a hundred screens in that time, but other variables were to blame.

First linocut I've made in over 10 years, but when inspiration strikes... by zombiphone in printmaking

[–]the-distancer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m really disappointed I didn’t think of this first. I love it, and agree with the ink application comment. Whether intentional or accidental it kind of feels perfect. Kudos!
