An Old Design For A New Screenprinting Video!

Thankfully the power outage we had yesterday is fixed. The power came on about 4pm yesterday. I did end up coming back to the storefront to make sure everything was off and reply to some emails. Anyway…. this past weekend I had a student come in for a multi colored printing training session and we set up this older but very cool Catspit design with 4 colors. This art was made for printing on white tee shirts only and has spot colors mixed with some halftone work. It’s a simple yet complex design since it does allow for some mixing of the yellow and red in the flowers. I am shooting a very short video about this print that will feature a test print of the design and some close up shots of the print. The color hue of the video seems jacked up for some reason but I think I can clean it up well enough to get a good video out of the footage I took. It’s odd. One day the camera is fine with nice cool blue whites and then other times it seems to pick up colors that are not there. Go figure…. Please stay tuned.

Our Latest very Cool Screenprinting Videos Compliment!

From one of our YouTube viewers:

“I am not your typical viewer. I came across your videos because we wanted to silk screen out metal boxes that we use for our products. You have answered some of my questions when it came to making the screens themselves using emulsion. I was never able to actually get it to work but actually doing the silk screen process worked flawlessly due to your amazing videos.”

Live Tee Shirt Screen Printing Event: Catspit Prints At School Carnival

Check out this screenprinting video about a live event I did recently. I was experimenting with the sharpness of the video and it may have pixilated the intro and outro. I think it helped out with the actual video though. I noticed lately that the sharpness of my HD video didn’t seem to be all that sharp….LOL. I think my software isn’t that great so I tweaked the sharpness to compensate. But the video is a lot of fun so check it out.

Here’s a very fun video about a live screenprinting event at a local school here in the Phoenix area. This is Norterra Canyon Elementary School K-8 in the north valley. David Stuart contacted me and asked about a live event for his school’s annual carnival. Of course I was happy to help out and we set up a little gig to print their carnival shirts live. My brother John came along and helped out which was great and we had a lot of fun talking with the kids and parents too.

She has a lot of items for us geeky types as well. Last week she came into the shop to make a video testimonial for us and she really did a nice job. I love what she says in this one especially about me 😉 But seriously, if you have not given my products a try then this video may help change your mind.

Screen Printing Tee Shirts: The Ranar Micro Registration Zeroing System

Okay after that bout of food poisoning it took me a week to get back to 100% normal. So here’s a quick screen printing video about the zeroing system on my presses I sell. I’m hoping to cut some squeegee today and then do some test printing for Mike Wrigley’s 3 color halftone art. I was thinking of doing 2 sets of screens at 45LPI and 55LPI to show the difference and make the video a little more interesting. So stay tuned. That will be the next orienting video for sure. I may have a couple of other videos to upload in the meantime while I work on that video.

Here’s an educational screenprinting video about Ranar screen printing presses and the micro registration zeroing system. This is a mechanical, physical system that has no printed marks of any kind on the print head so that you never have to worry about them wearing off. This also helps keep production costs down by physically integrating the zeroing system into the print head micro registration. In this video I show you how it works and what it looks like on the Elite Series II rotary presses. You will learn how easy it is to work with and you don’t need any rulers, tape, pens or anything to zero out our micro registration presses! Unlike other over designed and dumbed down brands, our presses are easy to use, require no special tools and the owner can replace any part on the press without sending the machine back to the factory. There is not a single part adjustment on our presses that you can mess up or cannot fix or replace yourself. The press design is so simple yet so durable I offer a lifetime guarantee for as long as the original purchaser owns the press. That alone speaks more than anything I could say about my belief in the product that I sell and use myself.

Don’t forget I offer FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the continental US and all crating or boxing fees are included in the pricing! PLUS no sales tax except in California. Enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

8 Color Plastisol Discharge Screen Printing Video

Here’s an interesting screenprinting video where we see a “plasticharge” screen print on dark garments. It’s an interesting design and color separation since it does not appear to have a traditional discharge white under base. The lightest color seems to be a natural or cream color that is under most of the image but this is a very cool separation and print sequence. I think the colors and print method looked great on the brown shirt they used.

Screenprinting Supply Orders Fulfill In 1 to 3 Business Days

So lately I have been getting a lot of orders that people seem to be in a big rush for. Now don’t get me wrong, I love getting any size order and I enjoy helping people get screen printing equipment and supplies very much. But please understand I am a smaller company and most supply orders ship within 1 to 3 business days or less. Sometimes it may take longer if I have a stocking issue. I appreciate everyone’s orders very much and I try to fill them as fast as I can. But if you’re in a big rush for something, please call me before placing your order and I will let you know if I can get you what you want, when you need it. I handle every order that comes in personally and I’ll do the best I can for you if you let me know exactly what you need. Just give me a call…. Thank you very much for your patronage and support!

Storefront Remodel

Due to my being ill last week we may have to wait for the next screenprinting video. Right now my neighbor is playing music very loud and I cannot do a reshoot for what I was working on 😦 LOL

Another Screenprinting Customer and Student Learns How to Fish!

I teach and help a lot of people to learn how to screen print tee shirts locally and throughout the world. But I have noticed reluctance and a certain apprehension when it comes to going it alone with many students. So I want to share an old proverb about fishing that I learned from my great father Senior Catspit John Monaco. He once said, “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you TEACH him how to fish, he will eat for a lifetime.” This is very true with screen printing and we can even go further here. Let me say I can only teach and guide you so much. There comes a point where you need to “dive” in and start learning by trial and error. Otherwise you will be handicapped in your printing efforts if you rely too heavily on anyone to complete the task. Check out this very awesome print from Kevin Merrow at Deep Narcosis Scuba here in Maricopa, AZ. At first he was apprehensive about making his owns screens even after buying all the necessary tools and supplies. But look at his work now. Notice the capital T registration marks 😉 Kevin and his wife did the art, film positives, the screens and the printing here. This job turned out great. They did an excellent job and I think they are now very proud and happy to have accomplished this. They both will make excellent screen printers to serve their community of divers and associates. Check them out online….
