Steel roller bearings and indexing keys are standard on all of our Ranar presses which come with a lifetime guarantee. These are replaceable of course in the event you break one. And with the Catspit Productions guarantee, you can get replacement parts for as long as you own the press. However, if you take care of your press, you would likely never need any parts for our Ranar presses. Built to work. Built to last and built to perform.

Time Lapse Screen Printing Shop Build Video

This is a pretty cool time lapse of a larger shop being set up with equipment. It might even be helpful for those of you who are setting up big or small screen printing shops. A lot of people ask me about shop layout and even send me floor plans to review but there’s only so much I can advise on from afar being blind to the actual space. But this is a cool video to see how it might be done. Enjoy!

Gidley Grafx Time Lapse Digital Catspit Themed Caricature Artwork

In this video you’ll get to see a very cool piece of art being done digitally by Eric Gidley of Gidley Grafx. He is one of our YouTube viewers and a great customer of Catspit Productions. Last week I shared the digital image of this very cool artwork on all of my social media platforms. This video shows the sequence of drawing the image on an IPad Pro 12.9 and the Procreate App. I really love this poster and I’m going to have to frame it for the storefront. It’s funny because I could see this being my back yard with my gothic castle just out of scene…. LOL 😉 Enjoy!

Amazon.com DVD Scam Out Of Control!!

So if you buy DVD’s online you know they have region codes that prevent them from being played in certain countries. That’s all fine and dandy but beware that Amazon is allowing sellers to sell DVD’s in countries where they will not work. Sometimes there is a region code on the listing and other times there is not. Also you may find a listing with no region code specified and then when you contact the seller for a refund, the information suddenly appears. To me this is a major scam on the part of Amazon since an item that does not work in the USA should not be allowed to be sold in the USA. So buyers beware and never order from a seller named MovieMars. They will take your money and run.

So I’ll be sending my useless Evil Dead Trilogy I bought that does not work in the USA to my good friend Mike Wrigley since I know he might enjoy it. I have a tee shirt and a DVD set to send him now and we are just waiting to see if we can pull off a print of the artwork he created for a YouTube video.

But if you buy anything from Amazon you can help support the videos I make on YouTube. Support the production of free YouTube videos by purchasing what you need from Amazon using this link: http://amzn.to/2eYNxvc

Just beware if you’re going to buy any DVD’s or Blue Ray movies….. LOL.

Screenprinting T-Shirts: Increasing Print Resolution And Clarity On Press

Here’s another educational video about screenprinting tee shirts and other fabrics. This video discusses how to increase your print resolution while printing on press. It’s an extension of our last video about fibrillation. We all know that using a higher mesh count will produce a higher resolution stencil. But what about when you’re actually printing the shirts on the rotary textile screenprinting press? Then it comes down to a matter of technique and skill. In this tutorial video I show you some very basic tips on how to keep you print looking sharp, crisp and clear. Get the edges of your text nice and sharp with these simple yet fundamental tips. You’ll get to see a really flooded out print with fibrillation and then we’ll look at a much better print with little fibrillation and a sharp print. We did use an old test rag for this video so even the second print would look even better if we printed on brand new garments. So follow along as we take a look at some printing techniques and test prints for your viewing enjoyment and edification. Enjoy!

Screen Printing Tip: Ink is Ink. Paint is Paint.

Ink is Ink. Paint is Paint.

Okay so I posted this picture to Instagram yesterday because I hear this all the time and it always makes me smile. A lot of beginners seem to call ink paint. So I figured I would give a simple tip on sounding more like a professional screen printer. So I made this into a meme. I think it’s my first real one…. LOL 😉

So remember: Ink is for printing and paint is for painting.
