Suitable for cotton, jersey, Lycra and other natural and synthetic fabrics like polyester. This ink has a very long drying time but traditional methods for water based ink printing are recommended. It has a very smooth yet pasty consistency much like frosting. It will not run on the screen when it is in the up position. Working with this ink compares to working with plastisol inks due to its thickness and long evaporation drying times.
Here’s the first ISS Long Beach trade show video from the Ranar booth. Check out the items we brought and learn about the new air flash and the new 1 color bench top press. We had an unusual booth this year but despite that we enjoyed a lot of traffic due to people coming down the long walkway from the entrance around the side of the convention center. The show was a lot of fun and I enjoyed meeting with everyone who came by for a visit. I’ll probably have another 2 or 3 videos from California and the Ranar factory of course. Please stay tuned. Enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

So there are a lot of people who boast about how many tee shirts they can print per hour on a manual rotary screenprinting press. But the truth is the amount of garments you can print on a tee shirt printing machine will vary on several factors. What determines the rate per hour you can print? And can you print fast while providing high quality products? Many people ask this question when first looking to buy screen printing equipment. In this short tutorial video we discuss these questions and more. This educational video will enlighten you to the truth about this topic while educating you on what it really means when we ask this question. So when you hear someone boast about the quantity of t-shirts they can print per hour know that it is likely just that. Boasting that has been inflated to make them look cool. Because the experienced screen printer will tell you how many high quality shirts they can print with details and examples rather than just a number. Thanks for watching!

I always get asked about this and people will throw out a very vague question like, “what all do I need to screen print?” There are many levels of screen printing so the answer to this question can vary. But here’s a list and rundown of the basic supplies and equipment you might need to screen print tee shirts. Here’s the link for the page where you will find a list and a video as well as a glossary of terms to help you out:
In this screen printing video I show you the orange Amex Arsen Manoukian water based textile ink. It’s a quick run through with printing, clean up and some info on using a standard infrared belt dryer with an air flash to cure shirts. This is a water based textile ink for direct printing on light and dark fabrics, ready-to-wear or pre-cut articles. Suitable for cotton, jersey, Lycra and other natural and synthetic fabrics like polyester. This ink has a very long drying time but traditional methods for water based ink printing are recommended. It has a very smooth yet pasty consistency much like frosting. It will not run on the screen when it is in the up position. Working with this ink compares to working with plastisol inks due to its thickness and long evaporative drying times. It’s a pretty easy water based ink to work with but I am finding that I like a very straight squeegee for this fabric ink. I’ll probably try an aluminum handle squeegee for the next video. It makes it easier to control the volume of ink printed especially on aluminum pallets. If you’re using an older MDF pallet that may be curved, you may want to stick with a wood handled squeegee.
Important note… that screen is the same screen I have been using for the water based ink videos. This is Textil PC Blue emulsion from Saati with NO hardener used. When you properly cure an excellent emulsion like this, it has no issues in doing plastisol and water based inks. Even with being rinsed off repeatedly with water. I urge you to try some especially if you’re using a cheap emulsion. Thanks for watching!

In this tutorial screen printing video I show you how to properly washout a stencil when you are making screens for screenprinting t-shirts. There are many videos on YouTube about screenprinting and they will all vary in technique. For instance many videos will show a pressure washer being used to wash out the stencil after you expose the screen with the film positive. Is this necessary? Is it correct procedure? Should you use so much force when trying to create a stencil especially with high detail? In this instructional video I answer all those questions and more such as; should you use hot or cold water when washing out the screen? I also briefly discuss which side of the screen should be facing you during washout. This could have been a very short video with an abbreviated answer but I find it more beneficial to include more details and information about the topic. I also like to include some action whenever possible to make the video more enjoyable to watch and learn from. I hope this educational screen printing video helps you learn how to screen print tee shirts with ease. Thanks for watching!

Here’s a vlog style screenprinting video with a few topics packed in. Recently there were about 3 people who called me to ask if I would buy back Ranar screenprinting equipment to resell. They were all out of Arizona State. It started me thinking about this topic and I thought I would give you some words of encouragement. I discuss when I will and will not buy back screenprinting equipment and share my ponderings about people wanting to quit their screen printing projects. I’m not sure how valuable this video will be to you because it could be a bunch of gibberish. But I hope it helps keep you at your dreams and maybe even gets you hyped up to work harder at it. I apologize to those who don’t like to get religious but I do share a bit of a religious thought in this video. Sorry about that… LOL. I hope you find this screen printing vlog video to be useful and enjoyable. Thanks for watching!
