[Paul]

Me again
Buzzin for some screen printing. got everything ready now. my 4 color diy carousel, screen, emulsion. squeegees and other bits

I am watching ever video on youtube now. I like those made DIY best.
I wonder if we have some keen, screen printers/starters on here?
I own 3 dvd's about screen printing from Ryan net. And 2 from tseps. Love them to bits. loads of info there. each video show you something else. Good to learn. Is thee any other video that is worth watching there?? I read that there is book called "screen printing for fun and profit" an one own it? is it worth to get? is not cheap so i want to ask first

Me Paul....once I get my printing side up this is DEFINITELY what I'll be saving up for next....the possibilities are just limitless...I can't wait...I too have been watching every video...the Catspit guy is really good!!

Are you just going with water based inks initially or have you bought your curer to set them or are you going to try it with a press?!!? Also, did you buy an exposure unit or are you just going to use strong bulbs?!?!?

[Paul]

I use my press to cure inks and it work perfectly fine. I use plastisol. Some time next month i will made my own diy flash dryer unit too

i use 500w flood light from homebase. £5. It expose my 16x20 screens in just under 8 minutes

Reference ebook.... $29 is quite alot for an ebook!
