Angie you are the best teacher I have ever had… love you! Question tho… so once the screens have been lazered they are “permanent”… right? I can’t go back and make another design on that same screen? Seems like 3 replacement screens are $50 CDN (which is… $$$ no?) I’m curious to know how often you have used your setup and how fast you have gone thru the 3 screens that came with it and how many extra screens you think you or the average crafty queen will end up having to get? I love this setup but it kinda seems like the “consumable” price is a bit high, no?

To keep shirts from shifting between ink passes or if you print with more than one color, you could use pallet tape and some water-based adhesive, like used with conventional screen printing. Out of curiosity, since I know you've printed with conventional screens before and can compare, for people with texture issues involving touching metal mesh like me, is the metal mesh a different feel under the squeegee? I feel like I could hear the difference, though it might be my hypersensitivity speaking.

You can apply a new layer of emulsion (to make a new design) IF you remove all the previous emulsion from the screen. I'm not sure how many times you can do this, but I'm sure you could at least change it a few times. Look up "Reusing xTool Screen Printing Screens" on KZitem by "Heath Sharp". He discusses exactly how to do this. He used Emulsion Remover by Ecotex and a bucket of Water Resistant Screen Printing Emulsion (also sold by Ecotex if you dont know of any other brands) to apply a new layer.

Can you explain why the F1 and M1 will work with basic kit but not the multi kit? I was under the impression the only difference between the 2 kits is the basic kit just has less screens, paint and frames. Otherwise they work the same? The multi kit I was told was just a better buy. Since the F1 is portable and can be placed on the screen to burn it seems the only limitation would be the size of the design if using the F1. However, As for the M1 I understand that is the only machine that can not be used with the screens because you can not fit the screen in the M1 in order to burn the design. If I have this information wrong could you please let me know. Thank you

yes i agree i was under the same impression.. i want to knwo why you cant use the F1 also I heard you can also use it on other lasers too its just you cant use the perfect alignment tool unless it fits that particular laser. or maybe you could even 3d print a frame to align it to your laser I'm sure there is a work around here , mines coming today so we shall see.. I will message xtoool also I think

I think they may be saying that the alignment will not work which is what you would need to do to make multiple colors.
