A Detailed Look At The Hix Premier Benchtop Screen Printing Press

Posted on August 17, 2023 by Catspit Productions

Check out this detailed look at the Hix Premier screenprinting press. This is a benchtop machine. It is also convertible. Ultimately, it can become a 6 color 6 station floor press. In this quick video we look at some of the cool features of this printing press. This piece of equipment has heavily cast aluminum parts and thick steel screen clamps. Follow along as I show you around this professional screenprinting press. You might hear some crickets from the shop and notice a little dust on the press. It has been above 110 degrees F here for a long time. While I brought you some details of the Hix Premier tabletop printing press, I may have overlooked some details in video making. How do I get rid of crickets anyway? Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and thanks for being here after about 14 years on YouTube! Thanks to you all.

How To Screen Print A 1 Color White Ink Design On Dark Garments

Posted on July 21, 2023 by Catspit Productions

Here is a basic educational screen-printing video featuring the HIX Premier 4 color 2 station tabletop rotary press. I created a couple of simple 1 color screen print designs for black and white ink. This video is about the artwork I made for white plastisol ink. Of course, you could use water-based ink as well. Either way sometimes the design makes the print. Follow along as I make the screen, set up on press, and print a couple of tee shirts. Do you have a lot of humidity in your screenprinting shop? Does your film stick to the emulsion? See how I take the film off the screen in that case. Pay attention and you are likely to learn something in this tutorial screenprinting video. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

How Many Screen Prints Can You Get From Gallons Or Quarts Of Ink?

Posted on July 7, 2023 by Catspit Productions

Okay so here’s a new screen printing video where I try to give some advice on an age old question I am asked quite often. How many prints will a gall or quart of ink make? That question is difficult to answer. There are many variables which affect ink consumption. So, take a coffee break and watch this short video in which I give you my humble opinion on the matter. Here’s a secret tip, if you’re not making money screen printing it’s most likely not that you’re printing too much ink. It’s probably something else. As always thanks for watching and please subscribe.

1 Color Screen Printing Design For Light Colored Garments

Posted on June 29, 2023 by Catspit Productions

Okay so here’s a new screen printing video in which we test out the new HIX LED Spectrum and the massive Godzilla od a press, the AWT Rototex. It’s been a while since I have made videos like this but it was fun. You can follow me along with the exposure, screen washout and test print. You’ll learn more about the multi wavelength Spectrum and what some of the differences are between side clamps and rear clamp screenprinting presses. Let me know if you think the video quality has changed any. I used the second backup camera for this one. As always thanks for watching and please subscribe.

Posted on May 27, 2023 by Catspit Productions

Check out this easy-going tutorial video about the actual differences between rear clamp and side clamp presses. This is a follow up educational video for the original one I did on the same topic. But this time we have both types of printing presses in house. So, watch this video as well to get the full rundown on all the differences between these two configurations.

This instructional video features the #AWT #Rototex manual screen printing press with side clamps and the #HIX convertible rear clamp screenprinting machine. Please remember, I sell both presses on my ecommerce site. Stop by and check out my offerings.

AWT Rototex Manual Screen Printing Press: The Old Magnet Test

Posted on May 27, 2023 by Catspit Productions

Do you need an extremely heavily built manual rotary screenprinting press? Check out this casual and perhaps a bit humorous video. Here I revel in my pleasant discovery on the super heavy build. Yes, I probably repeated myself but what an awesome printing press this is. It seems many of the most critical parts are aluminum. Not only that it seems many parts are black anodized aluminum. Very easy to clean. These are excellent screenprinting machines. This screenprinting equipment will not let you down. I also have #AWT flash cure units available to order as well. Call or email for lead times and pricing. Order now to get yours on the way. http://CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com

HIX UV LED Single Source Spectrum Exposure Unit Test

Posted on April 25, 2023 by Catspit Productions

Hey there screen troopers. Here is a simple test exposure video featuring the Hix LED UV point source exposure unit. I apologize there may be some over modulation in audio. The mic is awesome and it may have been a bit close. However, I hope you will find this to be a fun video. It is the first of many so we can get used to this machine together. In this educational video I am getting used to the new single source LED block. It seems to have a nice spread equal to the strip LED’s on the Ranar XPO LED. Now we need to test and see if this really helps us get more detail easier. Stay tuned for more videos on Hix screen printing equipment. Please do not forget I am a dealer for HIX and I am happy to help out any way I can. Make sure to email or call me first about your screenprinting equipment purchase.
