Hello Screen Troopers! Here’s another “best of” tutorial video about the different sizes of screens. Many people ask me when first starting to screen print, what size frame should I use for printing tee shirts? There are many different sizes of screens available out there and the smallest ones are most usually made of wood. Speedball is a common hobby wood screen and they’re available from suppliers like Dick Blick. But for commercial screen printing where we are using a commercial grade bench press or rotary press, we use specific screen sizes. In this educational video I briefly discuss screen size and I provide advice on which screen frame size is best to use with manual screen printing and automatic screen printing. You may think this is a no brainer but many people seem to struggle with this simple yet important question. And I’m here to help out as usual. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Hello Screen Troopers! This is a very special video. I made this video about 1 year ago and totally forgot about it until I saw it in my editing folder without any work done so I investigated and was happily surprised. This was made with my older cameras so there is some focusing issues and the audio is not as good as it is now. But the tutorial video is an important one for manual textile screenprinting. Therefore, I decided to upload it to buy me some more time as I make a few new videos. So, if you have ever wondered how much squeegee pressure is too much then this video is a must see. I briefly discuss how you know when you’re using too much squeegee press and what it can do to your printing. I hope the video quality is not too bad and forgive me for the delayed intro as I seemed to have left a little too much footage on the front end. It’s a great educational video though so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Thanks for watching!

Here’s a quick video on an idea I’ve had for a long time now. It came from the personal training sessions I teach in the Phoenix storefront. I teach how to coat screens with emulsion so the scoop coater has to be cleaned each time immediately after the screen coating part of the session. Without any kind of tank, it takes a lot of running water and it takes a few minutes to complete. I thought of using PVC pipe and make a small “dip tank” I can immerse the used scoop coater into. By having it entirely submerged it will keep the emulsion wet and should begin dissolving it. Some of it should settle to the bottom after a bit of time. This would allow me to use less water in cleaning and allow me to move on with the student. And after soaking for a while, it should be easier to clean. This is an experiment so I’ll have to follow up and let you know how it works in another video.

Okay another casual educational video answering an age-old question I get almost every week. This is part of what I am calling the “best of” series since we are discussing such questions like, “what is the best mesh count to use?” and today we continue with the very vague question of “what is the best screenprinting shop package for you?” In this video I touch on some of the most important factors to consider when thinking about buying a screen print startup kit. Take some time and watch this video to learn more about the considerations that go into buying a screen printing shop. Use this video as a guide to prepare and give me a call to discuss your project. This tutorial video will certainly help steer you in the right direction. And remember, if you’re looking to buy a shop package, please give me a call and I’ll be happy to help you out. I never up sell and I never sell you anything you don’t need. I want you to be super happy with your purchase. It’s the Catspit way.

This is a quick and very casual video about a question I get very often. Many people have a hard time choosing their mesh count for screen printing tee shirts. They frequently ask a general question about mesh count that goes something like this: “What is the best mesh count?” Sometimes they may explain some details about their print job but most do not. What they are looking for is a universal mesh count. One mesh count that is the “best” for everything. Well there really is no such thing. Meaning we cannot simply blanket all print jobs with the same mesh count screen. Well I have to admit I have seen shops use only 1 mesh count like a 160. However, they are missing out on all the benefits of having different mesh counts. This video briefly explains how I would answer this question for both plastisol and water based inks.
Check out videos I have that cover choosing your mesh count and dyed mesh:
