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

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 :)

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?!?!?
