Hey, I'm late to the party here, but on the off chance you see this; do you have any tips/advice on trying to print small relatively detailed designs in white plastisol? Specifically I'm talking about a brand logo.

Most all of my videos are still relevant in reference to the information they can provide ;) So I'm still here after 10 years on KZitem. Unfortunately there's no tips for that I know of. White ink usually does not like to print well through small text or details on higher mesh counts. You may have to print/flash/print to get it to look decent. Just try not to print too much ink that way. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

DTG IS A PAIN and as far as production goes screen printed with plastisol ink is like 5 to 10 times faster once set up. So if u print a big order the dtg would be a nightmare and cost more to do the job. We have both set ups. Only plus I give Dtg is if someone wants like a shirt immediately it can do it well sorta if u got a shirt pretreated or use white shirt

So I have an idea for your mixing problem... (sorry if someone already mentioned this) If you get a 2x4 and clamp it vertical to a work bench, or put it in a vice, then you can get a couple of large pipe clamps, available at most hardware stores, and clamp the bucket to the 2x4 you can save a bunch of stress on your hands and arms from holding the bucket in place. Just an idea. BTW: Great videos! Just subscribed. Look forward to more.

@Yerokian Yes but the ink is designed by the manufacturer to be printed with high opacity and relative ease. You have to remember there is a little bit of physics involved in that the ink actually sheers from the squeegee action. Simply making the white ink “print easier” with reducer will work in some cases I’m sure but it will not perform to the best of its abilities. You will be better off learning how to use the ink properly out of the bucket. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

I've never tried adding a reducer to white ink, but in cases where you plan to print-flash-print anyway, it would probably work fine. Even with the decreased opacity from the reducer, I bet it would still come out bright white after a print-flash-print, plus it would be a thinner, softer-hand print than doing the same thing with the full-strength white ink.
@CatspitProductions
8 жыл бұрын
+MaximRecoil No I disagree 100%. Adding a reducer to white inks, which are normally high opacity inks, will change the ink flow characteristics and reduce the opacity. If you add too much it's not ink anymore, it's reducer. Reducer is not ink. So if you reduce an HO white ink you will have to print much more of it to get the same opacity as you could with less ink if you had not done that. So it would actually end up in a thicker not so white, white. You never want to add a reducer to white inks in my professional opinion. It defeats the purpose of the white ink which often times is way more expensive than standard inks due to it's need to be opaque. If you're white ink is too thick like plaster, then something is wrong. It should be like creamy, smooth toothpaste. Thanks for watching.

Hello Todd! That usually means the plastisol ink was not cured correctly. Black plastisol ink and white plastisol ink are 2 totally different animals. White will be more difficult to print and cure properly. If you cure the white plastisol ink correctly, it will out last the shirt itself usually. No cracking or flaking.

One question though, is a 156 mesh screen completely out of the question? Specifically, if all I have coated is 156 and have an emergency print run to do would 156 be ok for a short run or is 110 really the highest I should go for white?

Hello there! If you are flashing on press during printing it may be semi curing the inks in the screens. You have to allow the flashed printed ink to cool and allow the pallet to cool.

@tomkat410 Ah so you know that heating the pallets will gel the ink on contact and often gives a much different look to the print surface, yes? And the ink tends to stay on top of the fabric due to the gelling. While this may give you some better opacity it may also cause the ink to semi cure in the mesh making it necessary to clean the mesh out every now and then. It may also cause print durability issues.

Couldn't you just use a curable reducer to thin out the ink to make it easier to work with?

@weenerguy831 Well, you need an industrial black light as opposed to a novelty unit. And exposure is something that is affected by the emulsion you are using, the film positives, the distance from the light source to the screen and even the artwork itself. The age of the bulb can also affect exposure times. You have to do a few tests to determine this for your particular factors and situation. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

+Gabe bust Sorry, I mislabeled your email. I just found it. Please remember I am one person and I get thousands of emails each week. Once in a while a few slip though the cracks, I apologize. But no, process inks are only $40 per gallon so I do not offer quarts of that currently. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/

@TehElixr There is a 12 piece minimum for each color printed. So if you're talking about a one color shirt the least amount shirts I can print for you would be 12. If you talking about a multi color design that would be impossible to do one shirt by direct screen printing. And I don't do heat transfers commercially sorry I can't really help here. Thanks for your support! ☠

No, you can mix the entire bucket when needed. It should stay well for a few days of use. Mix it when it gets thick or a clear liquid pools on the top. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
